A pretty heavy miniseries, with moments of real beauty.Review created: 16/12/05

A 2 part TV series, six 1hour chapters, on two discs... Disc one blew me away, there's some heavy acting in it, some great effects, and a pretty dark storyline - it's a people series.. well movie.. you find your way into the lives of about 9 characters, that all slowly start interacting with each others lives, some in ways you kinda expected... some in ways you'd never expect. Worth watching for Emma Thompson's angel alone - a truly knockout performance. And the main dude, hang on while i look his name up... Justin Kirk - as Prior Walter is freakin' supreme... so anway, yeh, disc one knocked me for six... it really caught me, dragged me in, and had me gaspin for more... the second disc... things got heavier, darker, and much more downbeat... but by the end of the last chapter it seemed worthwhile - a miniseries /movie with quite a hefty message. Worth sticking with!
(i even enjoyed Streep in this - which, to be honest, is almost unheard of)

Being that I'm not gay, I didn't except to enjoy this as much as I did. The writing, direction and especially the acting are all superb. Well worth a few quid.

Angels in America1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Angels in America is an incredible example on how to adapt a play for the screen. Nothing is left behind and director Mike Nichols makes sure to get the best from each department. His great knowledge of cinema helped him to take advantage of all the qualities of this beautiful play. The way the story is told, the way characters are portrayed, the stunning editing just make this mini series a must see, something you cannot miss out. Moreover it is better than an acting class watching Maryl Streep, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Mary Louise Parker give life to more than one character each, changing their voices, posture, actions in a way a few actors can do. They are so well directed they just follow their actions and reveal the fantastic side of the play, where the imaginary world mixes with hard reality. There is no objective explanation for the angels coming to the earth, the audience has to find a reason, in the heart. As actors, filmmakers, director of photography you'll simply find this movie a great example on how to work properly, and that assuming that tvmovies are always bad is simply a commonplace, it's just a matter of doing your job well.

I loved this film, it keeps moving and has plenty of twists and turns, I particularly valued the character's who are based on real life, there are some wonderful study guides for those who are interested in american history and indeed LGBT issues as well as the politics of the dark "Aids" years.

Angels in AmericaIt was wonderful in the theatre - and the film is just as good. I bought it because I buy many films that have originally been plays.
