About
You’ll likely connect with this if you want an emotional, real-life love story that also highlights the impact of unequal rights; Not for you if you dislike tearjerkers or prefer lighter LGBTQ docs like Gaycation.
Pros: deeply moving true story; heartfelt interviews and home videos; strong message on equality | Cons: very sad throughout; some pacing feels padded; one-sided perspective at times
