Plot: Sensitive, wry and occasionally magical take on dysfunction and family, in which the fat, lonely, awkward hero returns home after 10 years, slim, self-possessed and gay.

    Shows how sometimes we have to get away from family just be ourselves. Being gay is hard enough without parents making your life a living hell.

    I've been thinking a lot about this movie lately and how an individual can transform from the awkwardness of their early conditioning and embark on a successful life..or never have the chance of that transformation taking place. This film so beautifully presents the possibility of both tragedy or happiness as its final scenes take place. It is inspiring.

    A gay man comes home after running away 10 years before to attend his sister's wedding and confront the demons of his past. A very well done film.

    This was a very odd movie... Did he really kill himself as a child and he being there at the wedding was in the memories of the people there? Or, was he really there, but his disappearance was hanging over his family like he had died?

    I am not really that sure which is true, but then... that may have been what the writer of this movie had wished for.

    This was not a great movie, but it was not painful to watch. It had some very random moments.

    A very unique film. Kind of disturbing. It really makes you think about life and how people live it.

    The Hanging Garden is somewhat a Canadian Film much like the way ("Lillies") was and can't understand why it's not on the list cause I like both of them for different reasons.
