Insoupçonnable vérité

The perfect family--Mom, Dad, teenage daughter and son--is thrown into absolute turmoil when Dad is discovered to be a closeted gay with a male lover. The unanimous hysterical reaction of wife and kids to his carefully guarded secret is all too believable. One could question his judgement in marrying and raising a family, but not his fear of the consequence of discovery (which probably drove him into marriage in the first place). In about nine-tenths of this film, knee-jerk responses, closed minds, and programmed thinking reign. Given this, the last few scenes stretch credulity to a cinematic breaking point.

I think Jean Smart and John Terry were very good in this film. I can't imagine the shock of being married to a man that has turned out to be gay. All the years they spent as husband and wife and then the shock! And the children finding out. The movie itself was very good.

I have woken up twice in the last two weeks to this movie. (including this morning)

I am wondering why the local TV stations are playing it at 2 and 3am? Could it be the controversial (even now) content?

I am glad it was made, and it was sensitively and smartly done. It should get a wider audience.

This film is an honest, moving account of a woman struggling to cope with the discovery that her husband of 20 years, the father of her two children, the man that she has worked side by side with to found a medical institute is gay. The movie is not told in a sensational way and we see all four members of the family struggle to integrate this new complication into their family life.

In this story everyone suffers and everyone does things that they wouldn't in a perfect world but this is not a perfect world. When it comes right down to it, will this family survive and will they love they have for each other continue.

Check it out and see for yourself.

A blisteringly honest, fair-minded appraisal of bisexuality within marriage is just what the world needed. However, it got this instead. Happily-married wifey comes home and finds her hubby in bed with another person - oh alright, another man. That's the story. Enjoy.
