Any Day Now (2012)
Directed by Travis
Fine this film inspired by a true story stars Alan Cumming, Garret
Dillahunt and Isaac Leyva. In 1979 a gay couple in California attempt
to adopt a mentally disabled teenager that has been abandoned by his
mother.
As an issues based
film this is a fairly well crafted film that manages not to hit you
over the head with it's agenda. The plot manages to showcase both the
bigotry aimed at homosexuals as well as how children are let down by
the state. Alan Cumming gives a good performance in the lead role
that holds the film together but some of the other characters could
have done with rounding out a bit.
4/5
