Test is a film that wants to be the next The Normal Heart or And The Band Played On, but you wouldn't know it by watching it. The film is about a gay dancer in 1985 San Francisco named Frankie and his day-to-day life as a back-up for a dance company, constantly being told to "dance like a man", has a couple of casual hook-ups, has mice issues, but gets close in the end with bad-boy dancer Todd. The AIDS angle is glossed over here and there, but mostly it's a movie with a lot of ballet/contemporary dancing. Why it's billed as an AIDS movie I have no idea. The lead actor playing Frankie is a great dancer but his acting is more wooden than an oak tree. Aside from the dancing and the cool '80s soundtrack, it's just "eh".
