Reviews
"...exceptionally moving...a touching film by Keith Wilson about coming out in the Deep South."
Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
"Gays whose families are less accepting should be moved. Those who've been afriad tocome out to their families may be empowered to do so. Many viewers will connect emotionally with Southern Family and love it unconditionally."
Southern Voice
"A coming out story with a twist."
The Sacramento Bee
"A poignant, beautiful exploration of a family's difficult yet loving reaction to a son coming out."
