| Gay EssentialAlexander RyllBeing different and open is a challenging endeavor in Don Scime's The David Dance, a heartfelt indie film that questions religious dogma and tackles the validity of America's objections to non-conventional family structures. |
| User ReviewJeffrey LTouching and sensitive portrayal of life, love and loss. Excellent acting, direction and writing of interest to both gay and straight audiences. |
| User ReviewRob OThe David Dance, which has won numerous awards, was a remarkable gem that I stumbled across on a night out at the Carlton theatre in Toronto. I am certainly glad that I went. There were many chords in the film that personally resonated with me, bullying in school, struggling with insecurity, and dealing with religious homophobia to name just a few. At times, I was brought to tears and at others to laugh. Don Scime, the writer/actor/producer of the film, personally attended the screening (one of the great things about the Carlton is having producers and actors from films attend - something you don't get with the big name theatres) and that was an unexpected treat since the audience was able to ask questions about the film. I certainly recommend seeing this film. The film has many layers which show a true writers talent and the actors did a wonderful job immersing the audience in the characters they portrayed. |
