Leave your thoughts about Defying Gravity.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA straightforward drama done with a maturity and conviction impressive for a first film. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisThe gentle lift you feel in watching Defying Gravity is propelled by the earnestness of its emotions. |
| Film.comJohn HartlHas its clunky and wince-worthy moments, it does explore some new territory, and there are moments when it's quite fresh and moving. |
| The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderPlods along, never catching dramatic fire, sometimes suffering from amateurish acting and often relying on its intrusive and treacly music to impart mood and rhythm. |
| L.A. WeeklyNicole CamposAn exhaustingly melodramatic yarn...a sorely misguided attempt at tender, heartfelt realism, given a WB-glossy sheen and saddled with a script in which every line is the single most hackneyed thing the character could possibly say. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimDenying Reality, more like. John Keitel's first feature is impossibly naive, even as smoothed-over coming-out tales go. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxWhat really undoes writer-director John Keitel's admirable intentions is the general lack of artistry on virtually every level. |
