Fox 3/5 "This no-frills documentary effectively appeals to the viewer’s compassion."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner C "Probably the least controversial “controversial” documentary ever made."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll 3.5/5 "Offers a refreshingly strong and lucid examination of the issue, even if it's edited a bit chaotically, cross-cutting between its various strands."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 8/10 "Ironic & powerful, delving beneath bluster and bigotry to explain what the institution of marriage really means in the context of today's society."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
