Clare Preston

Can’t get it out of my head. I replay scenes over and then the real memories come flooding in. I haven’t had a good nights sleep since watching it. I was a nurse in San Francisco in the 80s and lost so many friends to AIDS. It is powerful, raw, heartbreaking, and just as it was. The cast are phenomenal, especially Olly and Jill. All are perfectly flawed and perfectly beautiful. Ritchie’s character could have come across as vain and shallow, but Olly brought out all his complexities, and made us love him. I loved every one of them. Russell is a genius. I’ll watch again, once I’ve recovered.
