The Sunday Sessions

Truly enjoyed this documentary. A roller coaster of emotions exhibited throughout. For the people that think this film is backing the therapy, they clearly missed the message. This film shows that not only does this type of therapy not work, but it brings out true pain and disconnect to yourself.

Engaging and well done for such a difficult and controversial topic. I particularly like how the film allows the viewer to form their own opinions regarding the topic by offering little to no narrative. As one viewer wrote, it is a fly on the wall approach. I would have preferred more finality to the conclusion though it does not detract from the essence of the film and the reality of the subject's struggles.

This documentary is a fascinating portrayal of one mans journey through conversion therapy. Even though the documentary was unbiased and informational, I felt pure empathy and compassion for this mans individual struggle. Scenes including him and his friends/family were particularly heart wrenching and intellectually engaging. I will recommend this movie to anyone who wants an inside look into the struggles of conversion therapy and the emotional journey of those involved.

I love documentaries of all kinds. One of my biggest complaints with them is that most seem to lead you in a direction or have an agenda. This documentary however, is completely objective... there is no interviews, no narration, no leading in a any direction. Simply a camera rolling, capturing what happens. And what it covers is riveting. Painful, yet powerful. This film was both informative and engaging. I would love to know where Nathan is now.

As a well adjusted, normal gay man, I have empathy for people like Nathan who struggle with their identity. While I firmly believe we don't choose who we are, (I personally believe God does) we all get to choose our path in life. Nathan seems to have chosen his, but there are more than enough glimpses of someone in conflict with external forces, I.e., family, religion, and is struggling to love himself and live free. I wish him well on his journey. Interesting documentary. What struck me most is that his friend Cameron seemed to be the most well-adjusted and logical person to appear. Also, having heard horror stories about conversion therapy, the psychological approach seemed very mild and empathetic leaving we to wonder if the version of the film was a sanitized one.
