Acting is good. This is what I kept repeating during all the movie, as I was bored, and noticing big anachronisms in nearly any scenes. Music choice anachronisms, dialogues anachronisms, and in general, the whole atmosphere is not 1993. I was 25 that year and, I am gay, so believe me, no, not 1993. If you're not sure about this, just pick and watch again any movie made at that time (J'embrasse pas (1991)) or movies that do revive very well that era (120 battements par minute (2017)). "Pump the volume" in 93 ? No way, heard it too many times since 88. The vocabulary and expression of the young doctor, 30 years ago ? No, way.
If I had not seen Pierre Deladonchamps in L'inconnu du lac (2013) (somewhat boring too), I would even say that it's another fake gay movie made by straights. Not one character was interesting. I lost friends at each of these years, not one character was close to any one of them (unlike in 120 BPM).
The plot is so, so, common and repeated in too many movies to keep my attention. How many times did I see the strip tease scene for a friend having AIDS at the hospital room or elsewhere, 4 times ? 5 times ? : The Trip (2002) was the first and then so many others... Plus, it's funny in a movie but completely strange/distasteful in a real situation.
If I had watch it alone, I think I would have fast-forwarded several times. Forget it.
