i have see the perfect son about three time . i fail to see how this film be a gay film and i be not even gay and but i do not see it a a gay film . it be a film with a gay character and i can not see why every film with a gay character should be strictly a film about be gay . i find the film to be sympathetic to the study of death and the death of someone who be your kin . i think theo turn his life around fairly quickly after rehab because he want to and watch his brother die in front of him make him reassess his life . i find the dialog in the scene when theo tell ryan he be go to be a father to be very move and ryan state that he doesn not want to know about the thing he be never go to see or share with anyone . isn not that horrific and sad . i highly recommend the film .
