Movie Reviews of Tying the Knot
Movie Review: A bit jumpy, but full of content
Summary: 4 Stars
There's a lot of things about this documentary that could potentially anger you. Whether it be the hateful comments of the protesters, the coniving actions of one Betty Lou, or the way that the documentary itself, seems to be unfocused from time to time. Perhaps it would have benefitted from a narrator?
The most interesting point was when E.J. Graff (author of "What's Marriage For?") was speaking about the history of marriage and how the institution as we know it today is relativley modern (a result of the industrail revolution) and distinctly radical. Therefore, when the argument is made that gay marriage would fly in the face of established human history, they are beign neglectful that modern marriage does this also.
This film really chronicles the debate over gay marriage in the past ten years. It draws strong comparrisons to interacial marriages and the case of Loving.
This is a great documentary, the only things I didn't like was how it seemed to unorganized; jumping around a lot. Regardless, the content is here, and that's what really matters.
Summary of Tying the Knot
Extremely relevant, highly entertaining and utterly humanist, the critically-acclaimed film festival favorite TYING THE KNOT poignantly explores one of today's hottest issues, the ferocious political battle in the US between gay people who want to marry and those determined to stop them.Documentary DVD Video
