09/15/2012 We were deeply touched by this movie. The incredible love in the Leffew family can teach everyone about what really matters in life. Their courage is inspiring. The film had us laughing, in tears, and worried for our society. So many misconceptions and refusal to face facts about how gay people have the right to live as they choose. The director, Cassie Jaye, is someone who uses film to its highest purpose--to educate, inspire, and show the truth in all its dimensions. You will walk out of this film feeling that the humanity of people is always there to uplift us. See more 09/10/2012 Terrific film. Important message and beautifully crafted See more Read all reviews
