I was really impressed by much of this documentary, and liked the bits of music clips, and felt moved by the pain of those who have been attacked by the Mormon religious faith - but I felt more and more during the movie, and especially at the end when they were showing clips from the actual concert that was done, that this movie is still just trying to push the Mormon 'belief' and all the stupidity and idiocy this religion entails.
I felt like screaming at the screen as the film went on, especially at the end: "How the HECK can you continue to believe in a religion that has caused the death by suicide of hundreds of its followers?"
How can anybody believe that a little man up in the sky actually cares about them when the leaders of the Mormon faith continue to push hate and bigotry and push so many Mormon teenagers to kill themselves.
The movie points out that the number ONE cause of death of Mormon teenagers is suicide! How could there be a god who would accept this?
This movie made me want to grab the next gay Mormon I might see and shake them and yell: "Snap out of it!" and try to explain to them that they've been brainwashed ....
But what can you expect from a group of people who spend so much of their time going around knocking on the doors of people and bugging them and trying to push their strange view of the world on other people.
It's time to boycott Mormon businesses. I will no longer buy any products from the photography parts company that moved to Utah from California. Some of you might know the company I mean. They are not really right. But one of the leaders of the company is one of those alt-right @$$*^%'s

Such a great film and I loved it so much. For me, it's not about Mormonism or LGBTQ, it's about acceptance and being able to come up as a different person. I'm so happy with the film. It's very inspiring and hopefully will help a lot of young people who are suffering with being different from their community. The only issue I had with the film is that they kept mentioning that people consider same sex marriage to be a serious sin. I don't think we need to talk about that.
I loved this documentary so much! Beautifully done with a loving intent that could be felt through my screen. Thank you for bringing to me a greater awareness of a very important issue. Truly heart expanding.
I'm not gay, but i know some who are, i do not speak out loud for the LGBTQ community either, because i dont feel too, but thanks to everybody enlightning us not knowers with this film this music, this love faith and hope.
i have an easy agenda that to be good to everybody doesnt hurt anybody , and the film is an approval that even the smallest thing might help and save.
as a film product , i'm a little confused about wether it is a protest against the mormone community or a personal promotion towards the music,or if its a 100 percent love for the cause. i hope the net income of the festival and the film is building a fund that can help and mission people in the LGBTQ community in the mormon society in the state of utah , with for instance 24 hour call centers, emergency safe house clinics for people in existential crisis and so on.
i'm raiding on the imagine dragon wave myself these days, watching their show in oslo norway in april 2018 , the best gig ever ive been to, so i feel kinda influenced by this when writing this review.
watch the film,youll never regret that, you might save a life believe it or not........
What a beautiful piece! I caught this at Sundance and it absolutely was my favorite film of the weekend. It was incredibly courageous and such a necessary catalyst for change. Hopefully the Mormon leaders will see this film and feel a need to listen to the voices of the gay youth sitting in their very pews.
I believe that this film will save lives. Our gay youth need to see this film and feel the much needed love and acceptance they deserve. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time and my heart was broken but also given hope for a future of equality and acceptance.
I have no idea how someone could watch this film and walk away with a negative view of it unless they were just searching for a reason to spew hate. I enjoyed listening to Reynolds interview on NPR recently and got further insight in to the reasoning behind the creation of this documentary and could feel his sense of passion and determination. We need more straight allies to shed light on our gay youth and the unfortunate situations they are often born in to due to religion and family situations.
I'm looking forward to the film coming out on HBO to share it with my family and friends. Hopefully it will open up some of their conservative eyes and help them to see the sad truth of religious guilt upon our children.
What a beautiful film!
