Say Yes

Lately, i found out thing call demi-sexual, that you can fell for some body very close to you for emotion though whatever your sexual identity is, it explan pretty well for this film, it been a while since i found a good film, so this film really meaning and give me comfor time, really recomment this.

A very good independent film definitely worth watching. All three leads were outstanding, and I found myself never taking my eyes off them. Settings take a back seat to dialogue and an at-first-somewhat-seemingly-preposterous premise, well-written and thoughtful (Stewart Wade excels with his writing and direction). That dialogue is key, so hang on to every word by all three leads, be alert to cadences, pitch, tone, and nonverbal communication that comes from them. This is not just "another indie gay film"; it's making an extraordinarily powerful statement about socialization. Patrick Zeller as Beau is amazing, in showing us bit by bit how Beau evolves and is challenged by his norms. In some regard Zeller may have had the most difficult assignment here, portraying how Beau's known worlds and conventions are challenged and the difficulties he has in reconciling his own evolution. Paul Mascua as Caden is excellent as a free spirit who knows himself thoroughly. Leah McKendrick is unparalleled as Lily, conveying the journey of her character with such power. Kudos also to Shari Belafonte and Alexandra Paul for their excellence in minor roles and in being a part of Say Yes; I can only imagine how many scripts they have seen in throughout their careers, and I would like to think that their participation stemmed from their recognizing and participating in a unique gem of an indie.

I absolutely loved it. The characters were all great. How could you NOT love Caden. He was sweet, vulnerable, honest and exuded strength through it all. He was the backbone. Lily was awesome for wanting and accepting something so taboo. It was well written, fantastically cast, and all around well done. I thought Senastian by James Finizza was good but this was everything. Bravo. I have watched it 3 times and my first time was last night.

OK, it's a very unusual subject. Some people may easily find the whole movie ridiculous beyond belief.

But if you can open your mind to just listening to the characters and trying to empathize with what it might be like to be in their situation, you might learn something. And even if you can't, the writing has some very good moments; there are some truly good lines. :-)

In all, this wasn't the worst way to spend an hour and a half. Better this than watching "Burlesque", to be sure.

This is one of those stories that when viewed on paper, shouldn't have worked, but in the case of this film, it worked quite well. Credit goes to the actors involved, especially the female lead. She was totally convincing. Eight stars well earned.
