2nd installment of this movie is even better. As i reviewed in my first installment and another top review here pointed out this movie relates so much to religiously persecuted yet still religious communities. The most closest one that come is Islam. And as a closeted muslim man this one touched heart.

I felt every emotion that portrayed. I felt every body move they made. I felt their longing. I felt their pain. i imagined my lover's touch while watching them.

Also the soundtracks were gold. The one played during their forbidden love making (Once I believed) is clearly gonna play nonstop in my ears for next week. I even can see i am marrying to this soundtrack.

Again this all may seem so cringe to average people and i dont blame. But this brings up so much emotions. And unless you have been to this position theres no way one can understand this pain no matter how much considerate and sympathetic they are.

i applaud the directors and main cast to be so realistic and such a good performance. And i demand a 4th installment.

I never understand why this movie and its subseq ones have such low rating. Can it be the slow pace nature, may be....But its a romantic movie. Not action, sci fi one.

The movie despite being an indie has awesome awesome acting skills. Some scenes were really funny. And development of their characters slowly towards exploration of their urge was perfect.

I loved how their religious life dominates even when clearly knowing that it contradicts what they are doing. As a closeted gay Muslim (probably only other religion which shares same level animosity comparing to mormonism....btw they all do) I connected so much to this movie. It hurts...it raises hope....it makes me cry..

BTW among the trilogy 2nd one is probably my fav. I urge everyone to watch all three and demand a 4th installment.
