Latter Days Reviews
Latter Days is so ICONIC and still so amazing and so nostalgic and so hot and Wes Ramsey is so beautifully stunning and so are all the guys in this film!!!!
As with many films in this genre, the pretty actors (and lack of talent) limit the story's success.
Amazing film .. I know its farfetched however coming from being with a mormon background I can see how allot of the things that happens in the film could actually have happened in numerous people's life's.. i left the church because of my sexuality however i have respect for the faith but will not go back in as I am free to be myself now and if that makes me go to hell or outer darkness then so be it
Absolute ass. Horrible writing, horrible acting. It was a fun watch though.
I first saw the film several years ago and rewatched it this weekend. LATTER DAYS is a bit contradictory, to be honest, because while I don't think it holds up that well (in terms of the acting, pacing, story, etc.), I finished my rewatch thinking it may be a more important film today than it gets credit for. It's hard to understate how groundbreaking this film was at the time. It provided onscreen representation and voice to several underrepresented segments and their experiences in society. By today's standards, the romance feels Lifetime movie-esque, but at the times, it was unheard of for a movie like this to be so successful on a number of fronts, and just because a Lifetime movie is a bit sappy or predictable doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, and that's true of the romantic tropes here, for sure. I recommend this film to anyone interested in gay cinema, independent cinema, and the evolutionary journey and intersection of both. It's very interesting when viewed through that lens.
Good movie....acting is ok, some actors better than others, but the scene towards the end at Lila's always melts my heart....
Every time a jock swings, a Mormon gets his wings
I loved this film. I thought it well done, enjoyed the characters, plot and dialogue.
What a super romantic film this was, the young gays get back together at last at the end of the film!!!!
The film takes an interesting approach to mormons and the reality of a young man who his parents have influence within religion. It also brings the other side of the coin of the young man who only hangs out with other guys for fun and has no expectation until he knows the connection between two people. The twist at the end of the film takes us by surprise and simply makes us fall in love with young Davis' willpower to really be who he is.
So melodramatic it turns comedic. The characters are likable and relatable, though, and there are some really reflective points and lines.
Who cares about cliches? It's good. Watch it. Why? Because truth is stranger than... yadda yadda yadda.
The good parts are scattered throughout this movie, but they are lost in the mess of the narative and the long scenes. It had a story to tell, not very convincing, but it was fun. Steve Sandvoss owned his scenes as the Elder.
After watch this amazing movie I cried ð?? It is one of my top 5 favorite gay movies of all time...
