Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - This is kinda xenophobic, right?
Okay, I get it: some people don't like when multiply-oppressed main characters end on top and expose the prejudices of society? I, and most people, loved them some "Color Purple," but others would just dismiss it as "PC." Here, an immigrant and a gay man is the main character.

In the end, we are left with ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not very enjoyable
Not something to watch if you're looking for fun or entertainment. It's a dark story about family rejection that takes itself a bit too seriously. A few scenes (especially the police scene) are so over the top that it's difficult to take the film seriously. Skip it.
