I would like to thank Hettie MacDonald for making this very important film. This was the first time a movie has made me cry in many years. I cried for two reasons, 1) its bittersweet moments between Jamie and Ste were absolutely wonderful, they literally made me feel 16 again, experiencing all the same emotional turmoil, and 2) I regret not having been true to my own homosexuality as a teen. I wish I'd had Jamie's courage when I was 16. I knew I was gay, even before that, but was afriad to do anything about it. Now I'm 30 and I'm still not completely out of the proverbial closet. I know one thing for sure, if I'd had exposure to films like Beautiful Thing when I was a lad... I may have been able to draw the courage I needed from those characters. Thank you again! I love the Film!
