Too bad. What a waste of talent. This pic has the sense that everyone involved in its making were quite aware of how artistic and deep it was. Meryl Streep is excellent (and it seems, under-rated here), Julianne Moore is great too, but Nicole KIdman seems too detached to be interesting. (But she'll get the Oscar for making herself look so plain.) Ed Harris plays the cliched "Tragic Aids Victim" and is really quite tedious to watch.
Philip Glass' music adds to the self-serious tone of the movie. I will admit the ending is (finally) emotionally effective.
