Complications
The relationship of RJ and Chris continue.
Two Mormon boys who met while on a mission together. And fell in love.
This is five years later. RJ found a lover and moved to Seattle and Chris got more religion and got married.
RJ is not done. He leaves his lover and goes back to Seattle to find Chris.
And there we are with:
Which I like very much. It is not a side taking film. It seems to honestly portray the conflicts between desire and belief. Chris adherence to the Church's teaching is real.
Less so with RJ. Surprisingly enough, it is the Dads of each young man who provide a breakthrough.
The difficulties of being married and a father and still finding yourself gay is very real to me. I lived it.
This film is quite good at showing all sides and having a heart big enough to love all the characters. There are no villains.
A 5 out of Netflix5.
