Movie Reviews

Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonAn almost unbearably heartbreaking documentary rehumanizes the LGBT icon... and makes him newly tragic all over again.
New York Times - 10/10 by Nicolas RapoldIn lingering over moody night streets and trembling faces, Ms. Josue has brought this film to the verge of becoming a tear-jerker. But, as epitomized in an extraordinary scene with a conflicted priest, it’s all part of a shared soul-searching that still continues.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanA touching, deeply affecting look at the ongoing impact of loss.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) - 9/10 by John WirtDirector Michele Josue depicts the personal side the famous victim of hate she knew as friend.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Bruce DeMaraFilmmaker Michele Josue, who knew Matthew, does a fine job of reconstructing the crime and the reaction it provoked across the U.S. and beyond.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by David LewisThis is a film that attempts to portray Shepard as an ordinary young man who happened to become a lightning-rod figure. But most of all, it gives its characters - and its audience - a chance to reflect.
Cinemacy - 8/10 by Morgan RojasWhile I completely agree and support this mission and applaud [director Michele] Josue for her efforts, which must have been an extremely cathartic project for her, this film didn't reach its full potential in storytelling or effect.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Serena DonadoniJosue tries to reclaim his narrative with this intimate, positive portrait, but while Shepard's brave and resourceful parents encourage her, they realized long ago that his death means he no longer belongs solely to them.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Liam LaceyJosue’s film is not consistently effective in bridging her personal story with Shepard’s well-known legacy, but there are striking moments that explore the limits of forgiveness.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by S. Jhoanna RobledoMoving documentary brings hate crime victim to life.
