Prayers for Bobby (2009) rating: 9/10

Sigourney Weaver stars in this made for TV movie, and she really puts it all out there as a religious mother of several kids, one of which, Bobby, is a gay teenager. At the point that she is aware of his orientation, she oppresses him relentlessly. Bobby is played by Ryan Kelley who hits all the right notes in anger, despair, and happiness. It's a story based on real life, and so made ever more real in the determined portrayals. I think I've never bawled this much recently. LOL.
