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.
January 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Despite some wooden line readings, Franco gives himself fully to the challenge of rendering Glatze with truth and resolve.
January 26, 2017 | Full Review… -
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.

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
