Audience Member This is an actually good LGBTQ+ movie. This movie goes into Sydney and Janes personal life and slowly weaves a romance story. It also shows the lives of Cory, John, and Tony too, so you can understand the characters much better. The movie is also incredibly consistent and makes sure not to forget any of the scenes from earlier. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I can safely say this film was by far the worst I've seen. It was seemingly written by a homophobe who knew nothing about what it means to be a lesbian. As with most mainstream gay films, it seems the best solution to a bad marrige is death; assuming redemption is needed by all gay people. The plot was truly insulting to women and to lesbians; and very predictable. The music was horrendous. The screenplay was wooden and poorly written. The acting was bad, yet to be fair maybe this was due to the poorly written screenplay. The directing was sophomoric, at best. Save your money. Do not rent,and certainly do not buy this film. If possible, do not even waste your time watching this film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member worth seeing, it presses on the big issues of sexual tolerance, of the chliches of being a man of the house, the breadwinner and about simple tolerance to each other, no matter the circumstances. It also shows how men really think when confronted with something they don't understand, or can't even contemplate ... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member i dont really understand the ending. why did she stop taking meds? (the husband is too scary ) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting enough plot but seriously low budget and as a result the acting was mediocre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member a bit overcooked and a bit loose in some areas... otherwise a good decent watch Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
