While the film is unlikely to sway anyone whose mind already isn't made up, it provides plenty food for thought in its examination of biblical doctrine on same-sex love and how it resonates to this day.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4/5 --
Excessivamente convencional em sua estrutura e contendo sua parcela de graves tropeços (a seqüência em animação), este filme ainda assim merece aplausos pela eloqüência de seus entrevistados, pelo teor de sua mensagem e pela paixão com que a defende.

Rating: 4/5 --
Karslake reveals ways Scripture has been used to discriminate against homoexuality, and shows how inaccurate interpretations of the Bible cause widespread despair and the destruction of lives.

A thoughtful look at the complicated relationship between Christianity and homosexuality.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Its main surprise is the compassion shown toward everyone, on all sides of the debate. It does not vilify those who vilify gays.

Houston Chronicle
Progressive clergy provide enough historical context to neutralize the handful of Bible verses prohibiting homosexual acts, but Karslake never confronts the broader issues of sexuality and procreation that bedevil even moderate Christians.

This is a compelling, thought-provoking portrait of a quiet challenge rising within America's churches.
