8/10
A very good movie made for French Television
1 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Over the last year or so, I have been watching films made for other countries Television./ I am much impressed by the story quality of these films. This film is a prime example.

Here in the United States,There has yet to be a film made for American network TV, that is completely honest & adult.

Cable Television occasionally makes an honest adult film.

What we have here is, an adult male (30'ish) about to tell his supposedly liberal parents he is gay & living with another guy.

Now here is where the film departs from the usual clichés.

This tale is about the parents & there reactions to the son they do love. They also have another son (18 yrs old),he & the gay brother get on fine.

We meet other friends of the parents & others who play vital roles.

There some comic moments,&even tho there are farcical elements, this is basically a drama, about parents reactions & how they they cope.

This is a film for the all persons Gay & Straight, There is no nudity, violence, or sex scenes, (outside of seeing people in bed )there is some language BUT it is not offensive..

Ratings ***1/2 (out of 4) 91 points(out of 100) IMDb 8 out of 10
