A Masterpiece Goes Into a New Decade.
Added 1/7/2010
If you are unaware of the intense plotline and the superb performances, there are over 200 reviews describing both, so I shan't bore you with another of the same.
I watch this marathon production a couple of times a year or more if I have out-of-town visitors who know nothing about the story. These visitors are usually from other planets. As much fantasy as there is in the film, the reality just knocks the breath out of me.
Here we are, now in 2010 and I watched "Angels" once again and you know, I loved being drawn in again, thrown to the floor, beaten almost to death and then returned to reality.
An emotional roller coaster and I was sitting in the front car with my arms up...

A Moving and Stunning Drama
Added 1/1/2010
I am glad so many people have given this work-of-art film such high ratings and accolades. I cannot add anything more to the countless wonderful comments already expressed, but that I don't think that I have cried more often, nor have been uplifted in joy, so many times watching one film. Truly a masterpiece.

Exquisite

Tony Kushner's play is amazing to begin with; and Mike Nichols production is stunning. Best acting I have ever seen on tv. Many thanks to HBO for this. I am honored each time I watch it.

Haunting and beautiful
Added 12/1/2009
I can add nothing to the superlatives associated with this work, except to say that it is one of the most moving and educational works of art I have experienced. I become a little breathless when I think of some of the scenes - one that comes to mind often is the scene between Belize and Roy, when Belize describes his vision of heaven. Time stops for me when I view this. It is so beautiful and terrible; the idea that Belize's vision seems like hell to Roy - and that Belize knows this and describes it deliberately with that in mind. Who knows if this really is his vision of heaven - only he knows. Very interesting to think about.
