Title: Moving film about religion and self-acceptance
Product review: This was an amazingly moving film. It was also an amazingly accurate film. In the lyrics he wrote for the songs, in the dialog, in the struggle on the faces of these 19 year old Mormon boys, C. Jay Cox has created an astoundingly accurate portrayal of the struggle a yound LDS boy has to endure before acknowledging that homosexual is not what he does, but an integral part of what he is. As a former saint, I felt that the film had an authenticity about the Church and C.Jay Cox's love/hate relationship with it.The love story itself was likewise moving -- I don't think I have EVER felt so much longing for an embrace in which I wasn't a participant!One thing I wondered about, however. If Cox really wanted to make a film that would be seen by a 15 year old Mormon boy finding himself, as he says in the commentary, why did he make an R-rated film? I would love to suggest this film to the remaining LDS portion of my family, but they do not watch R-rated films.
