"Uncle Frank" on Amazon Prime
is a great slice of life to help you understand what it feels like to grow up
gay in the Fundamentalist South under religious condemnation. Here is part of
my review on IMBD. #Inclusion, #lgbtq
Add this to the canon of the dysfunctional Fundamentalist
South just released on Amazon Prime: “Uncle Frank.” The film is exceptionally
well done and is bare-bones nauseating at the same time. How did any LGBTQ+ person survive being gay
in the Fundamentalist South? The cast is
spectacular. Sophia Lillis radiates honesty on screen. Paul Bettany personified
stoic repression. The full cast magnifies the realism of the plot. The cast is authentic and spectacular in
their portrayal of human pathos and ethos. Alan Ball writes a lived truth for many in the
South. How did any of us gays survive
growing up in this tragic, hate-filled Fundamentalist South? Only through our own strength of character
and determination did we survive and eventually thrive.
