Bolstered by immaculate performances from it's all-star cast, especially that of Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina, Taylor Kitsch, and especially Matt Bomer in a transformative performance. THE NORMAL HEART is a solid adaptation of Larry Kramers semi-autobiographical play. It's a heartbreaking, angry, bittersweet journey well-told. And yes, have the kleenex handy. (Equivalent of an R or strong sexual content, graphic nudity, some disturbing images, and language.)
