5 stars. Amazing, powerful, made us cry, very touching! So many parallels with my own life! Sigourney Weaver gives an amazing performance as Mary Griffith. Ryan Kelley gave a five hanky performance as her son Bobby who struggles his whole life for his mother's acceptance as to who he really is. It's absolutely heartwrenching the way Mary treated her gay son over the years and how she could just completely disown him. The fact is that many people have and still treat their own children this way when they come out (especially in the late 70s/early 80s when this was set), but watching it happen on-screen is just so devastating. This movie perfectly shows the struggles that some families go through during this difficult time and is a wonderful example of the way one should not react when their child/relative reveals their sexual orientation. Any family who is dealing with someone being gay, NEEDS to watch this film to know how not to treat them.
