Audience Member God can someone please make this a movie? Brought me to tears several times, loved this documentary! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member What an amazing love story and great example of what it means to say "in sickness and in health, until death do us part"! And what a compelling case for why EVERYONE should be allowed to legally wed the person that they love. Thank you, Edie and Thea! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member a sweet, simple and personal story. it was surprising and enlightening to see how normal edie & thea's relationship was. they had ups and downs like any other couple and the film didn't try to romanticize or sensationalize their romance too much. the filmic style was a bit simple for my taste (talking heads and photos) and i wish it had broadened its scope just a bit, or perhaps found an angle or issue to highlight within their lives, rather than just giving a chronological account. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Tears. What a beautiful love story with a happy ending finally for them. Just hate Thea is not here to enjoy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't stop crying! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very sweet and moving film looking back at the lives of two women in love and the steps that they needed to take in order to have them acknowledged as a married couple. All viewers surely will feel something meaningful here. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
