Beautifully acted story of a time of painful bigotry, love and what it means to be a family. Highly recommended.

As a man who feels very fortunate to have experienced social injustices in my lifetime and yet has lived to see the slow & steady erosion of old stereotypes and the power of believing in what is right and just and never ceasing to strive for those ideals..., this film struck a very deep chord in me. It is a touching and honest portrayal set in 1979/1980 based on a true life experience. It is very important for society to be able to witness "the way things were" in order to gain a better perspective of the goal of total equality under the law. This film has humor, wit and a strong dose of reality and deserves to be sought out when it plays in a theater near you...

This is such an important film and the best I've seen this year. It will make you cry and make your blood boil. Based on a true story, tells the tale of two gay men trying to fight the system to get custody of a kid named Marco with Down Syndrome abandoned by his druggie mother and tossed about by social services and the state. A tour de force performance from Alan Cumming. "Any day now, Any day now, I shall be released."

This film tells the disqueting story of two gay men who attempt to adopt a child with down syndrome. The skillful direction by Travis Fine runs us through an emotional wringer. This is truly one of the most significant films I have seen in quite some time. There is strong sexual content and drug use -- not appropriate for children. But this film is a must see for those of us yearning for justice for all! Bravo to all!

A superb story (based on a true story) of love, care, relationships and society. It might be odd to watch the relationship between two men but their love towards a child presented beautifully. And the music is very soulful too.

Between a 6/10 and 7/10, despite the cliches and lack of narrative focus, there's no denying the power of Cumming, Leyva and Dillahunt's performances, nor the tragedy and injustice of the situation.

Yes, gay people in the past and present have had terrible, unjust things happen to them. But anyone who'd watch this movie would know that because they've seen it in movies 100 times before. Don't we have any other stories to tell?

A truly touching movie gross a measly $200k in the box office, while CGI films with loud music and half naked girls gross over a $100million in a single week end?

The movie felt short at 97 minutes. Not because it was very good, but because there were some scenes which if shown in detail, would have made this movie more better. Especially the bonding between the kid and his fathers. The best part about the movie is Alan Cumming. Not only he acted well, but we also get to see his musical side.

I really enjoyed this flick, even though there is a lot going on in the flick. I thought the acting was wonderful...although the singing needed work. Powerful message.

Moving. Well acted. Loved this movie. It's not only a movie about an important legal and social issue that shouldn't be an issue at all, but about love.

amazingly impassioned movie...it tore my heart open and Marco left my soul raw and exposed.

LGBT cinema needs to be shown more to main stream audiences more as this looks and sounds brilliant. I have a bit of a soft spot for Alan Cumming's acting and this looks to be one of his best. Not his normal eccentric characters but a very genuine character which probably comes close to Cummings heart. Tackling homosexual and down syndrome is going to be a tough one especially with the mixed feelings of the world but this film looks set to accomplish what its after, acceptance.

A brilliant and touching film depicting a caring, loving couple trying to take a sweet, neglected child into their unconventional lives. Outstanding cast.
