Editorial Review:

Huge festival and theatrical hit, Latter Days is the story of 19-year-old Elder Aaron Davis, a sexually confused Mormon missionary who moves into an apartment complex in West Hollywood with a fellow group of missionaries. There he meets a neighbor, Christian, who, on a bet, tries to seduce him. When Christian exposes Davis' secret desire, Davis rejects Christian for being shallow and empty. As each boy's reality is shattered, the two are drawn into a passionate romance that risks destroying their lives. Audiences, young and old and straight and gay, have been moved to tears by this beautiful story of the transformational power of love and family.

A Quintessential coming out film for the GLBT community

I absolutely LOVE this film -- it's so heart warming and endearing and such a good portrayal of a religious perspective when dealing with coming out. The worst I could say is that it's a bit lengthy of a movie but really, there isn't much you could take out and still tell the same story. I love the emotion and passion of this movie -- it is, in all honesty, a movie that at least every gay man should see.

Latter Days (Unrated Edition)

I had mixed feelings about the movie and yet its something I wanted to see. After watching the movie it gives me something inspiring about gay life. Its not Beautiful thing - thats one of my all time favorites, but its up there for being a sappy love story that has some very controversial topics. I would have liked a more sexier scene. The unrated could have been rated R.

I give it a 4 Star. Worth buying and watching again

One of the best movies I have even seen

One of the best movies that has come out in the past couple of years. So often movies have unhappy endings, it is a delight to see one with a happy ending.

Most heart-warming gay film ever made.

"Latter Days" gave me the largest amount of hope I never thought I could be blessed with. Even though both of the main characters are played by straight me, their performances are so believable and exemplary. I'm so amazed at the skill of the two actors. Buy the movie if you want to own forever a movie that dwarfs "Brokeback Mountain", this is where it's found. Also, check out "Shelter", starring Trevor Wright and Brad Rowe.

Latter Days:Beyond a Mere Story

The story presented in "Latter Days" can happen to anyone and in any context. Here the prejudices come from the Mormons religious beliefs but in real life they can originate from practically any religion, and even from people that do not practice any religion. The fact that two young men can share a pure, sincere, and beautiful love was portrayed in an excellent manner. The bizarre techniques used by some fanatics that still live in the nineteen century to "transform" a homosexual man into a "normal" heterosexual were equally well portrayed. A lesson can be learned from almost all the characters presented. Fortunately, all ended well in this story, while in many real-life cases the truth is revealed either too late, or not at all.
