This is a truly amazing gay love story. 100% drama, 100% romantic and 100% gay and so so sweet.
Not only is this a wonderful tail of true love with a very well paced plot but it has a serious side.. it is easier to forget the insanity and sinister side of religion.
I'm not sure why gay and lesbians are attract to spiritual movements? However I will be staying clear of the Mormons:
Having grown up a Mormon and grappled with the church's bigotry towards Blacks (they were not allowed to hold the church's priesthood when I was a member) -- I wasn't aware of the organizations policy of excommunicating gay men and women until after I left the church in 1966 -- (I was 20.) I was stunned when I learned that friends who were gay were excommunicated even after serving on missions. LATTER DAYS exposes the Mormon's persecution of gay members. The film is LONG overdue. It does an excellent job of showing how the two lead males come to terms with one another, while managing to grow up and develop more fully as individuals. LATTER DAYS has great heart, wonderful original music and an added touch of class from Jacqueline Bisset. The film brilliantly tells the story of an individual who leaves behind the confines of organized religion and reclaims his very soul.
