    One of the most effective, intelligent, mature and romantic love stories to come across the screen recently is, of all things, a documentary.
  2. The movie is sociologically rich, if not very memorable in the personalities it depicts.
  3. 60
    Would be as tedious as a home movie if the couple, Edward DeBonis and Vincent Maniscalco, weren't gay men and their nuptials not colored by the clash between their personal faith and their rejection by the mainstream church.
  4. 50
    While Saints And Sinners will strike some as a refreshingly even-toned social study, it's also a documentary heavy on talking heads and low on real drama. It's beautifully shot and deeply felt, but, for the most part, hearing a description of the film is as good as watching it.
