It is so unusual to see an actual film trilogy. And one that is about a gay relationship. Each film does stand on its own but don't make the mistake of dipping here and there. See it from beginning to end. Many gay films while very satisfying do not have the time to show the depth that is involved in committing to long term same sex relationships. So many hurdles. Add the complications of both men being Mormon. Even tougher to see through. I like that we are taught to underestand if not accept the complications of being Mormon and gay. The pressures. Well, here it is. It took three very good films to do it well. With as much respect for believers as one would have for parents or friends who still held a faith that set us apart from them. Great cinematography, wonderful acting. And the sex is as hot as it can be. Well, "the garment" gets in the way a bit but the men figure their way around that.
