: ) i am such a fan of Sigourney Weaver

Amazing, moving, beautiful movie. You deserve it, Sigourney. Well done.

[DrFlippin]

a must see film for Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and other leaders of the religious right. Homosexuality, transgender, etc are not illnesses needing to be cured. Ignorance that leads to intolerance for fellow citizens is what needs to be 'cured'. Being gay or lesbian is no different than being racially black, hispanic, asian, etc. Original sin rears its ugly head when Christians invoke God & Truth when they rail against what is unfamiliar and different to them.

Waw it made me cry ..

[Valecita483]

If anything, I am truly grateful for this movie, and for Sigourney Weaver for playing Bobby's mother in such a way that had me crying with every word good and bad tears. This movie should be played everywhere, especially in schools, to parents and children alike, to show the consequences of careless and shameless hate to every person in the LGBTQA community. This, I hope, will change parents and youth's view on homosexuality so that we can one day all live in peace and love, no matter what.

She is so amazing, her performance should be remembered forever because it truly was unforgettable. I'll never forget how much that movie made me cry, it was just one of those movies, that will always move you to tears.

Sigourney was STUNNING in this movie. The scene where she gets up and speaks before the local Walnut Creek City Council is breath taking and it will CRUSH you. I was so disappointed when she did not win the Emmy for this role.

I went from despising the mother to really feeling for her. She's a great actress :)

I am deeply thank you for the director, writer, actor/actress, all who brings up this true story about Bobby.

I know it sound funny as who I am to be one to say so, but I am deeply feel the story is similarly to my life as a gay.

Hurt most was when One need another One love but the one was just away & having fun with others and left Bobby alone while Bobby need is love from the one who he trusted his love to.

Marry Griffin is a Great mother.

When an actor gives a performance that creates an epiphany for many who come to see, then that actor is an artist in his or her craft no less than a Picasso or a Chopin. Weaver has demonstrated this talent more than once.
