Maslin, Janet. Tom Hanks as an AIDS Victim Who Fights the Establishment. New York Times, Dec 22, 1993.

Maslin describes the film as “forceful, impassioned and moving” filled with excellent acting, but it is predictable and is a conservative attempt at a movie based on AIDS. It was the first Hollywood movie talking about the disease and tries to educate the general public. By J. Wheeling
