About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, discussion-starting documentary about religion and LGBTQ acceptance, similar in spirit to Bridegroom or Call Me Kuchu; Not for you if you prefer lighter viewing or dislike interview-heavy films.
Pros: moving family interviews; eye-opening perspectives; clear, educational points | Cons: a bit too long; lots of talking; distracting animation segments
