Description:
The romance that opens Touch Me is clumsy and stiff, but when the plot takes a crucial turn, the movie becomes a surprisingly affecting portrait of coping with illness. Brigitte (Amanda Peet) is an aspiring actress who's just begun seeing Adam (Michael Vartan), the owner of the health club where she teaches yoga. Suddenly her world is turned upside down by the news that an old boyfriend is dying of AIDS--and she soon learns that she herself is HIV positive. She sinks into depression and denial and rejects her relationship with Adam, despite his sincere attempts to move forward with their relationship. Touch Me isn't the most crisply written movie in the world, but its depiction of life with the HIV virus has some genuine grit to it and can be quite moving. Also featuring Greg Louganis. --Bret Fetzer
