Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A poignant and anger-inducing feature documentary from Morgan Jon Fox. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest Moves along briskly and subsequently doesn't allow for much nuance, but its potency can't be denied. Rated: B May 12, 2012 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Morgan Jon Fox's six-years-in-the-making documentary was inspired by 'a modern-day message in a bottle': a teen MySpace user's plea to be freed from a controversial 'conversion therapy' program designed to transform homosexuals into 'ex-gay' Christians. Rated: 3/4 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I thought they'd show footage of stuff inside the camp itself instead of talking about the rules (which they consistently mentioned) - and even though this WAS a sad documentary, especially due to the accounts of former Love in Action 'clients', it wasn't very thought provoking. I know they probably couldn't film inside, but it's kind of boring in a way because everything is happening outside of the camp. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is such a sad documentary. It is also extremely sad that still in today's modern society that people annoy love as they wish. One particular placard that stood out was 'straight but not narrow! What ever you'r beliefs or backgrounds are you ought to try and be open minded. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A clearly fascinating subject told in an uninspired, scattered and dull manner. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It was thought provoking .. Overall leaves me feeling sad.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Finally, we have the beginnings of legislation aiming to ban this sort of thing. While I have the utmost respect and gratitude for the people who were there every single day protesting, the general discourse in this film on the issue at hand feels somewhat like child abuse based on delusional beliefs vs. love and acceptance through happy delusional beliefs. I find slogans like "God loves gays" to be counter-productive to the core problem of the issue at hand, but it's obviously better than "God hates fags!" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty interesting story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
