Angels in America - Angels in America review by CP Customer
This is an amazing adaptation a film dealing with human insecurities.
I found the central themes very poignant and the sound track is 5*
- well worth the 6 hours

1985 - Angels in America review by JD
Set in 1985 when the impact of AIDs was at its peak this film is dated in both content and style. The acting is not convincing and the style of direction is haphazard. The dreams of two people coming into one dream was strange and too unlikely. The incoherent Jewish funeral was neither funny nor dramatic, the impact of AIDs is so much less now than 28 years ago. Just not worth it.

Way too long! - Angels in America review by Stuart
That was 6 hours of my life I will never get back! Very important subject matter but the gay characters were completely over the top. I've encountered many melodramatic queens in my life but the characters in this film took the biscuit. It reminded me of the immortal words of Bette Davis in "What ever Happened to Baby Jane?" 'Butcha ARE Blanche, ya ARE' when Joan Crawford (Blanche Hudson) wished she wasn't in a wheelchair. Get over yourself!!
