<P> In a review from Time Out New York, the writing team thought "so keen were the makers of this adaptation of Randy Shilts's best - seller to bombard us with the facts and figures of the history of AIDS that they forgot to offer a properly dramatic human framework to make us care fully about the characters ." The review also says that the multiple issues the film attempts to cover "make for a disjointed, clichéd narrative ." </P> <P> Richard Zoglin of TIME wrote "Shilts's prodigiously researched 600 - page book has been boiled down to a fact - filled, dramatically coherent, occasionally moving 2 hours and 20 minutes . At a time when most made - for - TV movies have gone tabloid crazy, here is a rare one that tackles a big subject, raises the right issues, fights the good fight ." </P> <P> The team from Channel 4 believed the film "is stifled by good intentions and a distractingly generous cast of stars in leads and cameos ." </P> <Dl> <Dt> Primetime Emmy Awards </Dt> </Dl>
