Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Does the world forget what the Bible and Quran actually say? Maybe you should all read it again and this time instead of twisting the words to what you want them to say how about take them at face value. Help your kids understand what wrong with their feelings etc.. instead of incuraging them to do something that is so easily and openly explained to be wrong in the Bible and the Quran.

I'm not gay, but i know some who are, i do not speak out loud for the LGBTQ community either, because i dont feel too, but thanks to everybody enlightning us not knowers with this film this music, this love faith and hope. i have an easy agenda that to be good to everybody doesnt hurt anybody , and the film is an approval that even the smallest thing might help and save. as a film product , i'm a little confused about wether it is a protest against the mormone community or a personal promotion towards the music,or if its a 100 percent love for the cause. i hope the net income of the festival and the film is building a fund that can help and mission people in the LGBTQ community in the mormon society in the state of utah , with for instance 24 hour call centers, emergency safe house clinics for people in existential crisis and so on. i'm raiding on the imagine dragon wave myself these days, watching their show in oslo norway in april 2018 , the best gig ever ive been to, so i feel kinda influenced by this when writing this review. watch the film,youll never regret that, you might save a life believe it or not........

Watched this last night, and it has left me reflecting on how different the world would be if it were full of people like Dan, Asa and their friends, and the families whose stories they are also telling here.It was far more than I expected, it showed a level of heart and care that I wasn't expecting and certainly created 'the feels' more times than I guessed it was going to.Its a powerful tale indeed, and the work that Dan and his friends put in here should be applauded widely. It shows what is wrong with a society that is run by old white men whose views remain firmly placed in the 18th century, but it ultimately shows more profoundly what you can do to overcome ignorance and stupidity. The Mormons are probably must like others who are firmly intrenched in their religious views, but if history shows us anything is it that even the seemingly immovable objects do with time move, and hopefully this will be the case here.It must surely take only more teen suicides, and more family separations for those who hold control to finally realise that something needs to change, and that their God perhaps puts the value of family, and the value of every person above the once or twice referenced views on sexuality.This is a must see for any LGBTQ people, but bring your tissues. I am hopeful that it will also be seen by the families, and communities of those affected all over the world by hate, but intolerance and by simple ignorance.Powerful stuff.
