Father and gay son is the theme of today's film.

It is a fraught relationship and requires a lot of forgiveness and understanding on both sides.

I know. It took awhile but my Dad and I were able to traverse that path and come out the other end not only reconciled but with true understanding between us.

This is the theme of today's French Canadian film

C.R.A.Z.Y (2005)

This is a true favorite. Meaning that it is so special that I hold it in my heart between viewings.

Here there are four sons and a close family. When one of the sons finally comes out to himself and the rest of the world there is a kind of knot that has to be untied then tied again.

This is a very good film. Very true. There is no miracle of discovery, it is painfully gradual and then when it comes there is no immediate solution except to begin living in the real world together. Father and son.

There is a subplot with one brother, the favorite, who turns out to be, well, that is for you to see in the film.

A 5 out of Netflix5.
