Full Plot Details

I AM MICHAEL is the incredible true-life story of Michael Glatze (Franco), a high profile gay youth activist who created a national controversy when he claimed to no longer be gay and became a straight Christian pastor. The film follows Michael from his life in San Francisco with his boyfriend Bennett (Quinto), where he pursues political activism, a journalist career at XY Magazine, social awareness, and sexual exploration, to his days of personal self-discovery. After a traumatic scare, Michael is plagued by doubt and paranoia, and begins a religious reawakening. Michael renounces his gay lifestyle, rejects his friends, and endeavors to find his "true self." He explores Buddhism and Mormonism, yet ultimately lands at a Christian Bible school in rural Wyoming where he meets his girlfriend, Rebekah (Roberts), and becomes the pastor of his own church. This powerful new film captures one man's haunting journey through modern concepts of love, denial and redemption.

Movie Reviews

Film Comment Magazine - 9/10 by Michael KoreskyThe film is careful not to judge its protagonist's spiritual journey, but the delicately pointed direction of the final phone call between Michael and Bennett-Franco shot discreetly from behind and to the side; Quinto head on, facing camera-speaks volumes
Fresh Fiction - 9/10 by James ClayWhile the film certainly isn't a masterpiece, Kelly has created a film that dares to be different.
Gay Essential - 9/10 by Alexander RyllMichael is not without his weaknesses and despite declaring that he no longer identifies with being a homosexual, it does not necessary mean that he ceases relationships with the same sex.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Simon AbramsAn interesting story, but unfortunately, rather uninterestingly told.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThis is a movie you might want to talk about afterward, so try to see it with other people.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Stefan PapeFollowing rather forgettable performances from James Franco in both Queen of the Desert and Every Thing Will Be Fine - also both showing at Berlinale - this is one of his career's finest.
GeekNation - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderThe first section meanders dully, but once Michael's spiritual side kicks in, the story is compelling, aided by Franco's sincere performance.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Melissa AndersonGlatze's blog entries are read aloud by Franco, an infamous graduate-degree collector not so long ago, in a voice that suggests poetry-MFA earnestness, horrible acting, or both.
TheWrap - 8/10 by Tricia OlszewskiFranco’s fantastic here. He gives a fieriness to Michael as a gay advocate, then seamlessly slides into borderline madness as he starts accepting that the “voice” he hears is God’s. Michael’s confusion is palpable and intense.
Examiner.com - 7/10 by Travis HopsonFranco's latest film, I Am Michael, is easily the most thought-provoking work he has done in this area yet as it deals with the true story of a formerly gay man who renounce his homosexuality.
