An important perspective on gay parenthood, 5 July 1999
10/10
Author: dj-58 from Atlanta GA

In addition to its excellent cinematic qualities (including an intelligent and powerful script), this heartbreaking film's message about the depth of a gay father's love for his child is a moving and important statement.
