Family Fundamentals

About This Movie

Family Fundamentals is a fascinating dive into a world that many might prefer to overlook. The doc takes a close look at families caught in the struggle between their staunch fundamentalist beliefs and the reality of having LGBTQ+ children. What’s particularly striking is the raw honesty in the interviews; there’s this palpable tension that hangs in the air. The pacing feels almost meditative at times, allowing the viewer to really absorb the complexities of each family’s situation. It’s not flashy; it’s the unadorned authenticity that really stands out. The performances aren't performances at all - they feel like real conversations, real lives being laid bare. It's a film that challenges perceptions and evokes a range of emotions, all without ever feeling exploitative.
