thenormalheart_castAll the actors in HBO’s ‘The Normal Heart’ deserve a nod. They are superb.

Director Ryan Murphy of ‘Glee’ fame brings us right back to the early 80’s and the unfortunate rise of the HIV-AIDS crises in New York City seen through the eyes of writer-activist Ned Weeks played sensationally by Mark Ruffalo, also a producer on the film.

Written by Larry Kramer, stellar co-stars include Taylor Kitsch, Matt Bomer, Jonathan Groff, Jim Parsons, Joe Mantello, Alfred Molina and Julia Roberts.

Producer extraordinaire Brad Pitt and partner Dede Gardner of Plan B know exactly what they’re doing in a story that is powerful, educational, important and undeniably pulls at your heart strings.

SEE IT on HBO.
