a life invoking drama set in a real world

I saw this film purely by chance and have to say I am glad. Seeing it without any expectations made it very enjoyable but left me wondering how I could of not found it before. The acting,writing and directing was fantastic. Very rarely does a film leave me wanting to tell everyone I know or meet all about it but this has, all I can say is thank you to all those involved. Films such as this are so often overlooked by the mainstream but shouldn't be. If anyone has had to make difficult decisions , this will be a very true and honest representation of choices we all have to make. Regardless of the main characters sexual orientation this film hits a nerve we will all feel at some point in our lives.
