Synopsis
"Longtime Companion" (1989) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Norman René. Bruce Davison, Campbell Scott, Mary-Louise Parker and Dermot Mulroney play a circle of gay friends in New York — their summer of 1981 begins with a newspaper clipping about a mysterious illness that none of them take seriously enough.
The film follows the group across a decade as the disease takes its toll. A beach weekend becomes a hospital visit becomes a memorial becomes the new normal. Davison earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor — he carries the weight of someone slowly learning what loyalty costs. One of the first American theatrical features to put the AIDS crisis at its center, and one of the most honest. Watch "Longtime Companion" online on iFILM.
