Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Shelley Hughes I watched this just and feel compelled to review the film, which I don't usually do. What an amazing film, both beautiful and moving but also sad considering it is based on a true story. Things have moved forward since the 1970's but there is still a lot of discrimination in this world. This film showed quite strongly that same sex couples can love a child just as well, and even better, than heterosexual people or birth parents. With so many children looking for a loving, supportive home I am glad that we have changed our views on same sex adoption, but a lot is still to be done to ensure equality for all. Alan Cumming played an amazing part in this film, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.10/10!
thomasshahbaz This has so much potential, but much in the same way as Sean Penn's "Into the Wild", it lays on so much sentimentality that it becomes risible (slow-mo turning heads to show pain, cheesy music when you're meant to feel sad, TERRIBLE OTT montage to show the progression of the relationship between the child and new parents). In the hands of a more experienced director, who would have allowed the powerful story to speak for itself, instead of piling on the amateur gimmicks, this would've been amazing. Instead, I'd say it's a bona-fide box of tissues, ice-cream schmaltz-fest to be tolerated by only the most "sex-in-the-city" of audiences.
paddynoble This was an excellent movie, I was shocked at the end but then I wasn't surprised given that in the 70s everything wasn't in the favor of two gay men. I'm glad that that everyone who prevented Marco from going back to the two men, in the court system received a letter illustrating the outcome.There was a lot in this movie to like but the court scenario where Garett Dillahunt (Rudy's partner) stressed the obvious that nobody wanted Marco being a down syndrome child, and yet these two men loved him, and were his only safety net.I recommend this movie. Also some interesting actors show up too, many A listing Actors.
killasqueeze this movie was simply fantastic well-written, moving, and passionate. Alan Cummings take on the character Rudy Donatello was quite superb. i said to myself before i started the movie i know this is going to make me cry, i was right. this is a very beautiful story that left me in tears. my heart beating and pounding for the characters on-screen. their passion for the film, and the story made what would have a been a rioted film from bigots and hardcore Christian's, a beautiful story that says Even though they are gay, they could love and raise a child just the way a heterosexual couple could. i simply want to thank whoever wrote this story and made it, to me, an instant classic. so in short, thank you for this film.
