5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and a good reminder, July 8, 2010

This review is from: Saving Marriage (DVD)

The film is amazing---having lived through these events in Massachusetts, I can't thank Mike and John enough for capturing the energy and passionate the engulfed an entire state and country. While the film does an excellent job telling the story in a very tight and concise way, this battle went on for years----and the film is edited in a way that shows that progression perfectly.

A must see for people who live in places where it's easy to say "it couldn't happen here" or "of course that happened in Massachusetts"----this will make you see it wasn't quite so easy there either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent & Engaging, July 19, 2010

This review is from: Saving Marriage (DVD)

I'm a very private, non-politically vocal individual. Given that, I must say - gay or straight - this film illuminates the emotional undercurrent of the gay marriage issue on many levels. Beyond the political talking points (which are engaging and amusing in and of themselves), the film points to what it means to have the allowance of marriage as a "goal" or "purpose" in a relationship at all ... and how that resonates in a person's life.

The film is incredibly well made, beautifully shot, tightly edited/structured ... and just flat out blew me away as a shining example of what intelligent and evocative film-making can be. Everyone should see this film. Especially those who are so vehemently opposed to the issue. Everything is quite fairly laid out ... not overly condemning one way or the other.

A wide exposure of this film would create a more productive and human conversation on the topic so we could collectively move forward as a society without such judgment and fear. Congrats to all involved!

This review is from: Saving Marriage (DVD)

after seeing this documentary a couple times, i can say it has moved me differently and uniquely each time. from the joy and elation of winning the hard fought battle for marriage equality, to the sadness and despair of possibly losing it all, this film takes you on an emotional and powerful journey for one of the last civil rights issues of our time. i highly recommend saving marriage.
