Film Reviews

"[....] just as joyful, tear-jerking, and unabashedly gay as I expected, possibly even more so."

–Callie Hanna, FandomWire

"The heartrending directorial debut guides us through a rainbow of emotions complemented by two compelling lead performances and achingly gorgeous cinematography."

–Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

"Beautifully shot and tenderly acted, placing all its faith in pure emotion rather than in overly convoluted twists and turns, this is the sort of gem that feels all the more special for appearing, at first, so ordinary." 

–Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter
