The story is a common tale of a man hiding his life from his family until a family crisis brings the truth out in the cruelest manner. Paul Bettany is absolutely incredible. There's not a moment he doesn't ring completely true. The supporting cast create a solid base and their characters are so believable I felt like I was watching a documentary. Alan Ball has once again proved to be a writer of enormous skill, bringing truth and compassion to a story of a man's final realisation of who he is and where he belongs. Frank's fears are finally laid to rest as his family, out from under the shadow of a scared and stuck man, freely accept Frank and Wally each in their own way. It's a story of love and acceptance, what we all aspire to create, need and deserve.

Utterly compelling, faultless story with an Oscar deserving performance from Paul Bettany, the director and the two main supporting actors

It is an incredibly heartfelt and authentic film. The performances were perfect. The direction was lovely. It was thoroughly engaging. A film that should not be missed.
