This is a courageous, poignant, groundbreaking film. Through the filmmaker's lens, we see the shockingly ordinary humanity of a misunderstood and oppressed population. The film might have benefited from interviews with self-proclaimed "religious fundamentalists," whose vitriol toward simple, good-hearted folks would present an enlightening contrast.

I saw "Southern Comfort" on Swedish PBS and was very moved by Robert whos charisma and love impressed, inspired, and triumphed.

I was introduced to Southern Comfort in a sociology class. I absolutely fell in love with the characters. It is so comforting to know that other people have 'cultural genitals" that do not fit their actual ones. I would like to own the DVD.
Brandon B. gave it a 10:
This movie is just absolutely amazing. I could not help but cry. Robert Eads was just such a wonderful human being. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

Toni B gave it a 10:
A learning experience about an issue many view as taboo or unnatural. Very emotionally impacting. The loss of a remarkable person (loved by many) due to the insecurities of medical professionals (all in the name of 'business'). Words are not enough to express this amazingly powerful film. A definite must see.

Unconditional love.
