a presumed answer
Kirpianuscus21 January 2024
I saw this short film with high reserves. The theme is one of the most delicate , especially if you are Christian and homosexual . Mat Hayes offers a decent answer. Not the best, maybe not the expected one and, in essence, only a nice packed compromised. But he can propose only a sort of encouragement, the film having the gift to kick the viewer to his personal answer, profound subjective one but the only reasonable, in fact.

Sure, a gay couple - one Jew, another Christia ( ex- Baptist ), parents of a little girl, the contribution, at different ages of a nurse, a female pastor and a psychanalist to reconciliation with himself of main character are good ingredients for a nice story. But the story is only a patchwork crafted by different pieces. So, problem of taste. But, nice try.

This is an embarrassment to entertainment. All those who wrote, produced, etc., this movie need help.... Could these people be more vehement God-Haters.... Find something better to do with your time and talents.

attempt of compromise
Kirpianuscus21 January 2024
For me, it is a tempt , not bad , in essence, to reconciliate the gaz life with Christian status. After Fiducia Supplicans, to see Cognitive becomes a provocative gesture. But, is it works ? Not exactly.

The story of David about this fact speaks . About stigma , about reaction of child feeling be different by others, about reactions around him and support. The problem can be only the subjectivity of the answer .Mat Hayes proposes a solution but it is not very convincing, seems fragile and expression of improvisation or polite reaction.

But Cognitive has a precious gift - it reminds the fight of Christian gay to be a real Christian. Maybe the solutions of two priests are not the best but the solution, the real solution can be only the pray.
