Review:
4 out of 5 stars
This movie is about homosexuality and how it is perceived by the right and left side of the political spectrum. It showed the differences the Bible mentions when discussing the topic along with others. It shows how people tend to believe the passages that say homosexuality is evil and a sin but overlook the parts that say it is an abomination to eat shrimp.
The movie had about 4 families where there is a child that comes out as homosexual and the consequences that follow. Each family came to terms with the revelation in different ways. It was a very uplifting and heartbreaking movie at the same time. One mother came to terms with it too late, after her daughter committed suicide. It was a very poignant film to be watching at this time.
I heard of the movie from www.ew.com that had a posting of 10 documentaries that changed the world. I have seen most of the documentaries but not this one. So I rented it with my Blockbuster Online membership.
The ending brought me to tears --- the song they are playing over the background was amazing. The reason I did not give it a 5 out of 5 rating is because they through the gay Episcopal priest drama. I thought because of adding that in, the movie lost focus. It is just my point of view but the documentary was very well done.
I definitely recommend it, it is unlikely to change your views but it is always fun to see another side of a controversial story.
