D D I don't see any value in making this film. Good performances, but total crap as a story and screenplay. Things are bad enough for the confused youth of today. This film only serves to feed that confusion, not to offer any real help. I absolutely hated it and don't see the point.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review cinephile f It is so nice to see a film about a man with a life experience that is quite similar to myself! I absolutely loved this film. It is extremely well told and takes a middle path in how the story was told. I loved that it did not vilify the main character but simply told his story. It's an underrated masterpiece and very beautiful and tender! Recommend 100% for any audience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review marcelo f O filme começa em um ponto incrível para se abordar, que é a liberdade de ser quem é, sem medo e sem restrição de personalidade, porém quando o personagem principal começa a se auto desconstruir devido a uma religião, o filme engata em um ponto que meus olhos não aguentavam mais. O roteiro nos faz facilmente nos esgotar de estar preso na história de um cara que revoga a ser quem é e ainda ser escroto com as pessoas que tem a coragem de serem o que são.

This film based on a New York times article tells the incredible story of a gay activist called Michael Glaze who later became a born again Christian, renounced his homosexuality and married a woman. This movie was always going to be controversial and the filmmakers decided to take a neutral approach by not endorsing either the religious beliefs of Michael nor condemning them. This neutral approach works and it stops the movie from being a Christian movie nor an anti-Christian one but simply a film that looks at the life of a real man who struggled with his beliefs and sexuality. James Franco beautifully portrays this man as he evolves from a openly and proud gay man to a very conservative evangelical who sees homosexuality as sin. Is not his best performance but we come to sympathize with him and see his point of view. Zachary Quinto also does a good job as he portrays Michael's boyfriend who becomes very distressed to see his lover reject everything they had embraced. The movie's biggest problem is that it can be quite dry as the drama drags on and it relies on stereotypes for both gay men and evangelical Christians. Yet is a beautiful movie that makes us confront realities about life that are hard to face. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
