i buy this film solely on the promise of chad allen act skill . i be an ex christian who and while never have do the whole ex gay scene in my church year and have hold nothing but contempt for the movement and the promise it make . so it be doubly remarkable for me to see not only the excellence of this film and but the subtle and thoughtful and beautifully write story as well . hat off to both writer ( craig chester and alan hines ) as well a the screenplay work by robert desiderio . the directing and filming and act be outstanding . the story be a beautiful discussion of both the goodness and heal quality of the christian faith and while also explore the brittle and rigid quality that faith by rule brings to the table . it do perhaps the best job i have ever see of paint the complexity of homosexuality and christianity and as well a the intricate dance that have develop between the two . i be in particular struck by the role play by the two male lead ( chad allen and robert gant ) and the nuanced and powerful performance by judith light . the transition allen make from addict or bad boy to hopeful believer to the beginning of a healthy gay relationship be brilliant . robert gant do exceptional work in the wrestling with the need to please a father he will never win approval from and and in the dialogue where he confront ( in the person of judith light ) the issue around christianity and homosexuality and what it mean to be a whole person . and judith light be a character i believe only a christian or ex christian can deeply appreciate believer and teacher and mother in denial for the way she feel she fail her son and defender and injured soul . i have meet her echo again and again in my long walk through christianity . exceptional story tell . thank you robert cary . thank you actor and writer . thanks for a kickin piece of film .
