Mature LGBT Movie - About Us review by WH
LGBT ' coming out' movies have progressed mightily from the doom and gloom - 'You'll die in hell' phase. And this movie beautifully illustrates that point.
The two leading actors are brilliant in their portrayal of young people coming to realise their sexuality.
Their parents react exactly how parents of gay offspring should react when their child confirms their sexuality. No more end of life angst- or hate-fuelled homophobic mob.
Cannot recommend this movie too highly. You will mightily enjoy!

Sad little fim - About Us review by JR
This is a sad little film, cleverly and simply done, of two guys very much in love. Not a lot happens, but it doesn't have to. I liked it a lot.
It was different , moving and just very sad.

2.5 Would be the Perfect Score - About Us review by KW
One of those films that promises so much but the execution leaves one wondering what was the point. Parts of the film are good, offset by some very tedious moments, not a film I can recommend!
