An interesting film about love and homosexuality in the Mormon church. Good concept, but really bad acting. 3/5

Manic
Well acted but too preachy. "Dandelion" & "United States of Leland" are similarly themed but far better films. 3.5/5

Mysterious Skin
Not since Pan's Labyrinth have I seen something so scary, sad, and yet hopeful all at once. I'm still crying. 5/5
