VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 26 Let me start by saying this. This movie is so important to our community. We need more movies that touch upon such topics as same-sex marriage/parenting/divorce. Also we need more budget increase for these movies. With that being said I wish this movie could use some more funding. It was a good movie but somewhat unfinished if I can say so myself and I hate myself for saying that. I'm glad I watched it, however there were times when I wish they added even more to the movie. It was simple. I wish they showed more of the scenes with the son being at school dealing with some kids that would pick up on him for having 2 fathers for example... I know it's not right but with the world that we're living in l'm sure that somewhere someone is struggling with this. Although it's fcked up, we need to see how these cruel kids change their minds and simply accept it and they start treating Owen based on his personality and actions. You see what I mean? We need that! See more Estevão Jun 17 beautiful couple, I like it, they love it very much See more Peter T 02/02/2025 Boring but hey, but representation. See more Richard A 09/10/2024 A most interesting film. The granting of same sex marriage came with the same perils of straight marriage, including child care and the eternal question of who is the better parent. At first, I thought Luke Adams was a distant parent whose attitude towards Billy Porter, his husband, was that of a zillion cinematic barely present dads. Then I thought that Billy Porter was a zillion cinematic angry mates, feeling ignored and undervalued. The actor's realistic portrayals make this film the jewel that it is. The story may be old, the situation predictable, but the actors make you care about them in the here and now. It's easy to characterize this movie as being about child raising, but it is just as much about a primary relationship that has changed while they were becoming parents. The families and the friends, especially Phylicia Rashad and Andrew Rannels were wonderful, warm, real life portraits of people trying to help while also being honest with people they loved. Deftly and delicately directed. See more Stacey B 07/13/2024 This was a well-acted movie and I am glad it exists for representation and that I saw it. Gabriel was a rather unsympathetic and selfish character, however, and the song during the credits was awful. The supporting cast, including Andrew Ranells, Phylicia Rashad and Kate Burton, was a highlight of the film. See more Neil G @shecky2000 07/03/2024 A compelling and very contemporary story told beautifully. Excellent performances, wonderful cinematography, fantastic direction. See more Read all reviews
