Movie of the lost potential

Reviewed by edrockster 7 / 10

Very good but unsettling

I saw this film at the North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and found it to be very good (even if sometimes somewhat predictable). Within the first 15 minutes or so, I had figured out who committed the crime.While I found the film to be of good quality, I also found it to be a bit disturbing. It seemed to want to show real Christianity as a stark contrast to hate-mongering fundamentalism, and for that it should be praised. But while it took great effort to show that there are Christians who aren't filled with hate and intolerance, it seemed to glorify attempts at revenge. I found the incongruency to be quite disturbing.It'd be a really good conversation starter.

You can see it on Netflix!

I saw "Hate Crime" on Netflix's Watch Now feature.It's under the Gay/Lesbian movies section.Loved the film.I love when a film about a gay couple feels like the couple really loves each other.Some films think holding hands is enough. I could see that Trey and Robbie loved each other.Great cast. Even the less experienced actors held their own.Tight directing and good cinematography for a first timer. You could see that they had a small budget but it didn't affect the look or performances.I grew up in Plano, TX so I identified with the whole script.
