I was captivated by the beauty of these two men and woman's stories. Though I may not agree with all there decisions I found my self crying because I have many of those same desires for love, god and intimacy. I feel more human after seeing this. Homosexuality is is tough topic to talk about and these directors made a good effort of being authentic and taking political stance. I found myself laughing and crying at the same time because I saw myself in those three humans stories. I don't give the film a 10 because The cuts on the film could have been done a lot more smoothly. Also the audio was terrible when the interviewer was asking questions, subtitles are not good enough. I think this movie could reach bigger audience if not all the people were homosexual because gays and straights both struggle with balancing their desire for God, Love, and Intimacy. We all desire the infinite.

Repetitive and may lead people down a bad rabbit hole
EuropeanQoheleth23 April 2020
In this film we see gay and lesbian Catholics trying to stay faithful to Church teaching on sex.
It's not a bad film but it could have done with less shots of empty nature in Winter (which gets quite repetitive) and one of the gay men laughing after he says ''it's not about being asexual''. All I ever hear from people denying that being asexual is a real thing is a sort of argument from personal incredulity or telling people to check their hormones or get counselling (asexual and hypoactive sexual disorder are NOT the same thing) but research done by Dr. Lori Brotto and multiple surveys prove that there are asexual people.
Anyway Melinda Selmys is also in the movie who since has stopped being Catholic, cynically claiming that it's all about the Church having power (she never stopped being a feminist even after becoming Catholic) so I could have done without seeing her as well plus there's Jason Evert whose chastity project has among its members Matt Fradd, a far-right Catholic, (or at least one who platofrms them on his youtube videos) and Chris Stefanick who has written articles for The Remnant, a far right Catholic organisation. This is the kind of thing that annoys me about so much of anglophone Catholicism; the same people who will advocate a good thing like chastity will also advocate something bad like radical traditionalism and a scoffing attitude toward asexuals.
