Discover some opinions from viewers:

According to manoj94: “A great movie moment. Here is a movie that leaves no one indifferent and that remains forever! This is a veritable pamphlet against primary intolerance.

The story is stunningly true, more than boring and painful, without any pity. Indeed, Denzel Washington is very believable, and Tom Hanks is simply exceptional and surprising. (…) a masterpiece that deals with topics that are still relevant today, to be seen and reviewed.“

According to Michael78420: “A faithful masterpiece that certainly helped a lot to change the public’s view of AIDS, which was very little talked about at the time of the film’s release (1994).

To watch this film again twenty-five years later is to see the strength of its message. Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington are already great performers. Their duet works perfectly. (…) A must-see movie.“

According to Ikarpatakis157: “Philadelphia may be the movie that changed Hollywood. For many years they portrayed gays as worthless, but this movie forced them to change.

Tom Hanks portrays his life as Andrew Beckett, a lawyer with AIDS who is fired from his firm after they discover his condition..”

According to Roque: “Screaming truth and very exciting. The interpretations are impeccable. Great movies don’t always inspire me to write a long review, they just impress me.“

According to Jérôme H.: “One of the most beautiful denunciations of homophobia and the fight against a new and so misunderstood disease: AIDS. What more can we say about the performances of all the actors (all exceptional) and this enchanting music that will mark us forever. A masterpiece.”

According to Nico2:A strongly worded film that advocates respect and condemns injustice and discrimination. If certain clichés are avoided, the power of emotion conveyed by the actors, all excellently played by Tom Hanks in the lead role, means that we are left in awe of the beauty of this Jonathan Demme film that will leave no one indifferent. A great movie moment.”
