"Uncle Frank" film review from Amazon Prime #AlanBall #unclefrank

 

"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.
