Farran Smith Nehme New York Post The film is unlikely to bring about any debate since the likely audience for Jaye's film is already convinced. Rated: 2/4 Sep 14, 2012 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Coming upon opportunities for depth or nuance, Ms. Jaye seems unsure how to proceed. Rated: 2/5 Sep 13, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The movie paints a clear picture of the polarizing, largely unsettled state of marriage equality. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2012 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat This is a skillfully-made documentary with a point of view and a tender touch. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrific film. Important message and beautifully crafted Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
