Review of Latter Days (2004) by Holly U — 15 Jul 2007
Cute boys! Unfortunately, the script is horrendous. I think the depictions of both gay and Mormon life do a grave disservice to the richness of both. Having known gay Mormons and ex-Mormons, the facile juxtaposition of the vapid, sex-crazed "gay lifestyle" and the wholesome, brutally repressive Mormon church make this an easy good-guys/bad-guys story that leaves a great deal to be desired.
Maybe this one will inspire someone with vision and depth to write a better movie on these very worthy themes.
