I'd argue that if the movie managed to move you, then maybe it's even better than you actually think.
Voce piena d'armonia e dice: "Vivi ancora! Io son la vita! Ne' miei occhi e il tuo cielo! Tu non sei sola! Le lacrime tue io le raccolgo! Io sto sul tuo cammino e ti sorreggo! Sorridi e spera! Io son l'amore! Tutto intorno e sangue e fango? Io son divino! Io son l'oblio! Io sono il dio che sovra il mondo scendo da l'empireo, fa della terra un ciel! Ah! Io son l'amore, io son l'amor, l'amor"
I admit its not a great film, but I was really moved by it and quite frankly sometimes thats good enough for me. Also both lead performances were wonderful.

A movie about AIDS and homosexuality that tried not to offend anyone. And it succeeded.
i think this film is ok, not as great as people made it out to be. hanks was definitely the weakest performance of the 5 that were nominated. day-lewis, hopkins, and neeson were much better. i haven't seen fishburne as ike turner but from small excerpts i saw, he looks better
Not as bold as it would like audiences to think it was. While it was clearly about time that Hollywood finally dealt with the AIDS epidemic, the movie conveniently skirts the "gay angle" by making Hanks a victim of AIDS from the first frame (and therefore, the audience never actually sees him as an active homosexual).
I remember we watched this and "What Dreams May Come" in 10th grade health class.
