What an amazing person Paul Monette is! And what a great tribute to his life this documentary is! I've read all of Monette's non-fiction work and quite a bit of his fiction. For those of you who have not yet read his non-fiction, please do so. Becoming A Man, Borrowed Time, and Last Watch of the Night were all extraordinary, passionate, and painfully honest masterpieces of gay literature. This film captures a glimpse of the man whose sincerity and heroism served to uplift a generation of men who were imprisoned by the closet and another generation who can now stand proud of themselves and those they love.
