Full Plot Details

We meet five Christian families, each with a gay or lesbian child. Parents talk about their marriages and church-going, their children's childhood and coming out, their reactions, and changes over time. The stories told by these nine parents and four adult children alternate with talking heads - Protestant and Jewish theologians - and with film clips of fundamentalist preachers and pundits and news clips of people in the street. They discuss scripture and biblical scholarship. A thesis of the film is that much of Christianity's homophobia represents a misreading of scripture, a denial of science, and an embrace of quack psychology. The families call for love.

Movie Reviews

AV Club - 9/10 by Nathan RabinBible doesn't take itself too seriously, and boasts a disarming undercurrent of gleeful prankishness.
Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaExcessivamente 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.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesProgressive 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.
MovieFreak.com - 9/10 by Sara Michelle FettersFor the Bible Tells Me So is a great documentary and an even better motion picture, and as a testament to faith and family I can't imagine a finer example than this.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacDonaldDaniel Karslake's remarkable documentary boldly takes on a loaded topic -- Christianity and homosexuality -- and examines it both intellectually and emotionally; the result may well leave you blinking away a few tears.
Salt Lake Tribune - 9/10 by Sean P. MeansYou'll have plenty of ammunition next time you want to tell some Bible-thumper where they can stick their Leviticus.
Newsday - 9/10 by John AndersonThis rational, human and very serious documentary by Daniel Karslake gets at the historical distortions of the Good Book as well as the ease with which holy writings have been used in America to propagate hate.
TV Guide - 9/10 by Ken FoxThrough the hard-won experiences of these families, Karslake shows that Scripture and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive, and with the help of a number of academics and theologians, shows how the Bible has been misread, particularly during the 20th century.
Entertainment Insiders - 8/10 by Jonathan W. HickmanThe case made by those interviewed in For The Bible Tells Me So is strong, and, at times, moved me greatly.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Jessica ReavesDoesn’t shy from heart-tugging opportunities, and there’s a five-minute cartoon embedded in the movie that should have been excised, but beyond those problems and some stylistic dead air, this is a compelling, thought-provoking portrait of a quiet challenge rising within America’s churches.
