3.0/4.0
O'Brien avoids harsh attitudes throughout the even-keeled, gentle spirited film. Go to Full Review
Alistair Ryder Gay Essential 10/10/2019
3/5
It's unashamedly aimed at the mainstream American audience, with a mission to change hearts and minds - but when the film has a message like this (as obvious as that message may be), that's not necessarily a bad thing. Go to Full Review
Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 02/22/2019
3.5/5
[At the End of the Day] wants to ask questions of its audience and challenge its audience to answer them, not in an angry, forceful way, but from a place of great care and deep love. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 07/11/2018
4/5
Snappy, energetic filmmaking and a superb sense of irreverence add a sharp edge to this religious-themed comedy-drama. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 06/20/2018
4/5
Although the script contains formulaic elements, it is to O'Brien's great credit that it finds its own direction and stands up as a piece of art with something to offer regardless of the ideological position of the viewer. Go to Full Review

George B 09/05/2024 Very predictable and boring. There's a hundred movies with the same plot and outcome. Nothing new here. See more Adrian T 07/14/2024 a beautiful message of love and hope See more Rogelho S 01/07/2024 Divertidamente revigorante, ainda que caia na tentação dos clichês, em muitos momentos, a mensagem da obra consegue transcender tais percalços e entregar um filme esperançoso e formidável. See more XINYU C 10/01/2023 The narrative is a compelling exploration of community building and leadership, delving into the intricate relationships between the LGBT and cisgender, heterosexual communities. While the backstory surrounding Alyssa's brother leans toward the melodramatic, it adds emotional depth, but it's a bit too dramatic to the tone of the story. I have to subtract 1 point from the scene when Taylor said gay is evil, and people started to turn back on her. Then Mr.Hopper started to say, "This is not love; that's not god." Mr. Hopper's subsequent statement—"This is not love; this is not God"—adds a layer of ambiguity, making it unclear whether he is siding with Taylor or opposing her. I have to subtract another point. The 400,000 bid is crazy. They could actually find a new place, to be honest. PS: Stephen Shane Martin was so gorgeous, indeed natural gayness. Gordon Woodman's performance of traditional religion leaders was magnificent. See more 07/07/2021 The film definitely has a humorous tone that ranges from innocent to mischievous. The way the message is delivered doesn't feel forced at all. It is even quite optimistic that conservative people achieve that level of understanding of the LGBT + community. It is light and simple, but no less valuable for that. Especially when there are ideological battles to be won, in peace. See more johann m 06/26/2021 🏳️‍🌈 A religious-themed drama about a conservative professor at a Christian college who is told to infiltrate the meetings of a gay support group in order to stop their launch of an LGBT+ homeless youth shelter in their small town. The mission of the movie should be highlighted, not many stories challenge the audience to try to change their mind from a place of care and love, rather than forcibly imposing views. It's just a shame the acting and the dialogues are not very convincing, but a few emotional scenes might strike a chord with the viewers. See more Read all reviews
