Ratings and reviews

This movie was so moving it had me in tears by the end. My dad told me today that "marriage is between a man and a woman" he wants to pretend my girlfriend does not even exist. This movie resonated with me so much on the struggle against homophobia. I'm sad my dad thinks there is something wrong with me but at least the world is gradually becoming a better place thanks to brave people like Laurel and Stacie.

Love ellen page even do she looks 11
