And the Band Played On Ratings & Reviews
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
The movie is long on virtue, but it's naturally compelling - a cosmic murder mystery.
Variety
Tony Scott
As a TV movie about a highly sensitive subject, overall it's a moving experience.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
And the Band Played On adds its own snare-drum resonance to the AIDS catastrophe, beating elements of Randy Shilts' journalism into a passionate, incisive condemnation of the government's public health policy regarding this epidemic.
Reel.com
Sarah Chauncey
No production could accurately reproduce Randy Shilts' chilling account of the early days of AIDS, but this comes close.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Pretty powerful TV film about the AIDS epidemic and government inaction.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Earnest but still moving. Gere and Headly are great.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
An all-star ensemble works wonders in this heart-breaking adaptation.
