Netflix’s absolute lung-buster of a movie – also starring Alexandra Shipp ( Love, Simon), MJ Rodriguez ( Pose) and Robin de Jesús ( The Boys in the Band) – tells the story of Larson who, on the cusp of his 30th birthday, is racing against the clock to prepare for a workshop of his latest work, all the while wrestling with crippling debt, an increasingly strained relationship with his girlfriend (Shipp) and, most pressingly, the creeping devastation of the Aids crisis on his circle of friends.
