Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Covering more than half a dozen countries, Sharma stretches himself too thin, and as a result the documentary seems sketchy; he would have done well to present on-screen some of the background information in his production notes.

rotten:
For all the research, courage and passion that went into it, the movie is sometimes curiously one-note.
– John Hartl,

fresh:
[Director Sharma's] focus on religion and this particular religion's all but certain hostility to same-sex love means there can be no answers to the spiritual searching of many of his characters.
– Philip Kennicott,

fresh:
Often fascinating and provocative, although, as a film, it feels a bit long and somewhat repetitive.
– David Wiegand,
