While it would have been easy to make the Mormon Church the enemy of gay love, The Falls is less indicting of it than Latter Days.

This is the first movie in a trilogy about LDS missionaries who fall in love and try to find happiness while still following their faith. I actually thought the first part was a little slow moving, the first 40 minutes kind of dragged on, but it picked up a bit in the second half.
