    This movie has HEART

    All the actors do an EXCELLENT JOB.. While it would be great if they had a big budget; this movie can stand on it's own.. The scenes with the two boys was incredibly sweet, and touching. And I felt as uncomfortable watching as Luka appeared in his first adult sexual encounter.. My heart ached for him. Having worked in gay clubs for many years, and hearing stories of boys who ran away or got thrown out of their homes and what they had to do to survive. . I am so grateful I didn't have to go thru that.

    The music and songs were decent. Perhaps not the smoothest transition, from acting to singing but in my opinion most musicals have that difficulty

    This movie was a real 'slice of life'. And everyone obviously was very into making this delightful movie

    I look forward to future productions from Damon Cardasis, and the talent he pulls together. I thought this was excellent.

    Ball scene love story

    Beautifully filmed, beautifully tracked, and beautifully cast. Anyone who has any major critiques of this film seems to be homophobic and transphobic. Praying that love enters their hearts!

    Powerful coming of age story

    What a sweet, if at times heartbreaking, story of coming of age and exploring gender.

    My new favorite film

    This movie was beautiful. It's a story about feeling right in your own skin, taking risks in your quest for happiness, and finding your people. The moving story of Ulysses coming to terms with his identity in New York City is imaginatively intertwined with song and dance. The music serves as a vehicle to give voice to the hidden world inside the characters. It is enchanting, visually enticing, heartbreaking, and empowering. The cast is also wonderfully talented and deeply connected to this personal story. We rarely get such realistic and rounded stories of queer experience in cinema, but Saturday Church breaks the standard and reveals at its core a story that many unheard voices can relate to.

    Amazing Film

    A bit more subtle on the story line that most mainstream movies out there but the cinematography and the emotion behind every scene was done perfectly. Love the lighting and Ulysses' daydreaming details. Seeing him come into his own confidence was amazing, heartbreaking scenes almost pissed me off but honestly this is something that happens to a lot of lgbt youth and its wonderful to see this kind of representation. This film and other films like it are important. The music was good, not full on songs which I was sad about because the quality was so good.
