Not perfect but pretty close

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2015)

I did not expect much from this movie when I saw the low score it had gotten here on the IMDb. I was pleasantly surprised.
I was touched by the characters. And enchanted with the beautiful cinematography, costumes and sets. Those alone make it worth the watch. But there is more it is a beautiful story that deals with things like love, the need to be able to be our true selves and how strong that need can be. And lastly its about loss and letting go.
The acting is wonderful. It could have easily become camp or lame but it didn't.
The only real criticism I have is that the script is sometimes a little bit lacking, the storyline gets a clumsy at times.
I cant help but think the score here on IMDb is so low because of the controversial subject. And hence peoples feelings about the subject I feel may have gotten in the way of appreciating properly this gem of a movie.
So my advise is to give this movie a chance.
