Cliched but good - My Straight Son review by TS
You know the moment this story starts what the formula will be (and no I didn't read the synopsis first!). However it is still good to watch, with some very nice acting and a few twists and turns along the way that does take the film off its formulaic trajectory occasionally.

A reminder - My Straight Son review by TB
This film serves as a great reminder of how important and precious our relationships are with not just our lovers but also our family and friends.
A storyline that involves and develops from a tragic event (the scene of that event leaves you angry and upset), and which is delivered really well with great acting that shapes and gets across each of the characters and their own personal stories and troubles within the film.
There are a few sub plots running alongside the tragic event that this film is ultimately built around but none are more impressive and emotionally endearing than the relationship between the father and son, which twists and turns throughout while delivering an array of emotions to the viewer.
The film also impressively closes out with a well weighted conclusion to the tragic event and the future lives of the main characters.
An impressive and well delivers film.
