{movie} 3 needles (2006)

This intense social drama from writer-director Thom Fitzgerald chronicles the spread of AIDS on three continents -- Asia, Africa and North America -- and the wrenching, controversial choices that three sets of people make to cope with the disease. An all-star cast including Stockard Channing, Lucy Liu and Sandra Oh leads this powerful exploration of the ignorance, misinformation, stigma and greed that have fed the spread of the global epidemic.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** (Actually 3.5) This was an interesting movie, a very good movie, but interesting nonetheless. While I found the first half very deep and intriguing, I started to lose interest around the time the movie shifted focus to Africa. The first two stories, in China and Montreal, were great stories, but parts of the second half, in Africa, started to lose me. However, overall this was a great movie with three great stories, even if the last one lost me a bit.
