The world is not quite as nicely rainbow-hued as the film wishes it were at the end, but, if nothing else, Tru Loved makes us hope all the more that it can be one day.

Reviews for Tru Loved
This plodding plea for tolerance would barely pass muster as an after-school special.
Content, bolstered by some solid performances, triumphs over form: The film is engaging, timely and courageous.
Does the world need yet another peppy gay self-esteem indie like Tru Loved? Probably not, though the writer and director Stewart Wade pulls this one off with heart.
I'm sure its heart is in the right place, but it fails at fundamentals we take for granted when we go to the movies.
Fluffiness aside, the film's multicultural microcosm does have a giddying effect: Tru Loved offers a utopic vision of inclusiveness you wish the world would embrace.
