The relationships, touching moments and the tasteful way all was portrayed throughout the film. It was quite eyeopening to me as a heterosexual to learn what the homosexual man went and go through when contracting HIV/AIDS and any earlier forms of it. It was the discrimination, racism and lack of respect that was very disturbing to me. I laughed, cried and at points felt their pain. A great movie!. And summed up by saying Heatwarming Film. Currently Longtime Companion has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
