The movie is phenomenal. The acting, the sets, everything. They dealt with his sexuality very honestly. As well as his ethnicity. His religion briefly touched upon, Zoroastrianism. I loved how they worked the phrase “Bismillah” in the movie. (I imagine suburban white kids all over America looking up the Islamic sacred word) I was transported by the movie, and that’s why we love movies. His relationship with Mary was fascinating. I understand he left her everything when died, telling her “if I didn’t come out, I would have married you and it would all be yours anyway”. (Not in the movie)
I give it a gazillion stars.
