Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Daniel Karslake's doc on the extent to which Christian families have embraced their gay children does an admirably thorough job of assembling smart talking heads and personal archives.

fresh:

This is a compelling, thought-provoking portrait of a quiet challenge rising within America's churches.
