Matt Roush says...
The elegiac finale of the moving historical drama jumps between the late 1950s and the 1980s as the closeted D.C. bureaucrat Hawk (Matt Bomer) tanks his on-and-off relationship with Tim (Jonathan Bailey) in favor of family and safety. Decades later, he comes to a reckoning when an ailing Tim demands to take political action before AIDS claims his life. A scene set at the first display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on the National Mall in 1987 will resonate powerfully even for those who’ve never had the privilege to witness it in person.
