• Well made!

  I enjoyed this film and the information it shares. The characters were interesting and made me care about them. I thought the storyline was realistic. It's hard to believe people kick out their own children just because they say they are gay, but I know it happens.

• Funny, dramatic and surreal

  This movie is much more than a movie. It is story that so many of us have lived and suffered. We gives hope and insures love will always win. I encourage anyone and everyone to see it, especially for the young ones of the LGBTQ community. It will give them hope and help them feel like they are not alone and have a voice.

• Wishful but not reality

  Predictable movie of course but the real problem is that none of this can happen, the religious are so high and mighty about their lot no one would give this group a second look. I sympathise with people who are gay and abhor the despicable bile that religious zealots impose on others to toe the line but as long as religion exists, this will be the norm. It's a hopeful movie but I would have preferred it featured someone who was maybe a bit blinkered and biased from a different upbringing to make it more real than a supposed bible chained crony who sees the light.

  A conservative Christian professor discovers a profound change when he finds himself implanted as a spy in a gay support group with the goal of stopping their plans to open an LGBTQ youth shelter in a small town. Yes, this isn't the kind of movie we usually cover, but that doesn't mean that it isn't interesting. After losing both his wife and counseling practice, 32-year-old Dave Hopper retreats back to his Christian college alma mater and a part-time job teaching. The college's growth plans have been stopped by a gay support group who wants to open an LGBT homeless teen shelter in a space the college wants to move into. The dean offers Dave a full-time tenure if he can stop them from gaining the property. Now, Dave is face-to-face with the people he's been counseling against for his entire life. But now that he's meeting the actual people - and not just the idea - his theory of "love the sinner, hate the sin" gets challenged. I really liked the idea that everyone in the support group instantly saw through Dave, realizing that he wasn't gay, but embracing him anyway. This is a touching yet funny insight into people who yearn to be closer to God and a faith that wants to keep them away. Writer/director Kevin O'Brien said, "It is my hope that At the End of the Day can bring healing to many who have been harmed, encouragement to those who have been doing the hard work of equality, and an opportunity for others to question their black-and-white worldview."

  A film that emphasizes love for you neighbor and show the impact a life filled with loving those around you with quiet joy should be watched by as many people as possible. We all need to remember to love.
