Another low budget movie that offers yet another gay themed, sad story. Acting and script were good enough. Hopefully, there aren't that many ultra abusive fathers out there. I would rather have seen a more optimistic ending, but we got hammered with the same old tale of self-hatred, shame and guilt. There was no wisdom or example provided that showed teens how to NOT engage in all these negative emotions in spite of the prevailing cultural values. No one should ever let culture shame them over who they are or how they were born. I'm gay, born in 1960, and I NEVER EVER felt inferior or shame, despite being bullied periodically in high school. I thought I was better and smarter. I never thought about killing myself because I was born gay. My sexuality was intensely private so I rarely discussed it. It would be nice to see a movie that shows how teens can have confidence in their minds and can have strong values without succumbing to either peer pressure or cultural pressure.
