The performances are uniformly good and Kelly's effort to tell an unbiased story is admirable, but I Am Michael ultimately delivers more in the way of talking points than drama.

Franco's fantastic here. He gives a fieriness to Michael as a gay advocate, then seamlessly slides into borderline madness as he starts accepting that the "voice" he hears is God's.

Kelly is finding his sea-legs as a director.

Despite some wooden line readings, Franco gives himself fully to the challenge of rendering Glatze with truth and resolve.

Mr. Franco broods and puzzles and vacillates. But he often seems abandoned by a director whose approach is so noncommittal and dramatically limp that it strands the actor, and his character, in a bland purgatory of conflicting motivations.

A soberly stylish, impressively non-judgmental portrait of a controversial real-life case of transformation.

While the film certainly isn't a masterpiece, Kelly has created a film that dares to be different.

Michael is not without his weaknesses and despite declaring that he no longer identifies with being a homosexual, it does not necessary mean that he ceases relationships with the same sex.

Feb 10, 2015A remarkably sympathetic and nuanced character study about an idealist LGBT activist who slowly becomes a pathetic shadow of himself due to fear and religion, and it is beautiful to see how the film never vilifies him, which would have been actually quite easy.Carlos M Super Reviewer
