InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

filmalamosa This movie made me really angry. It is a partisan attack on republicans who happen to be gay. Where is Bill Clinton in all this the man who signed the Defense of Marriage Act? No where, but poor old Bush is made to be the devil incarnate. The documentary is so biased it made me sick.I am a conservative republican who happens to be gay. I vote for politicians I think will help promote the economy and make the country stronger and wealthier...if they have to pirouette on issues like gay marriage to get elected it does not matter to me. If you extend the logic of this documentary to its ultimate conclusion, I myself am some sort of dysfunctional cognitively dissonant closet case for voting for republicans. I am apparently only allowed to vote for people with pro gay rights agendas and records irregardless of whatever else they stand for and have accomplished in their careers. These people like Michael Rogers running around like gossipy old maids exposing gay republicans are the ones who are morally compromised. What right do they have to ruin these men's careers? The mind set of this documentary is the sort of thing that gives gays a bad name and sets us back. They should also remember when attacking these politicians that these politicians are supporting their constituencies norm; they are not actively seeking out novel ways to harm gays. 99.99% of their legislation does not involve gay issues. The end result of Roger's crusade will be to get people in those elected posts who truly have zero sympathy for gay issues. It is wrong from every angle.Apparently this country will be a paradise if only the Congress was filled with Barney Franks---now there is a real nightmare.

edwagreen Excellent documentary dealing with hypocrisy in our government.If you are a staunch Republican, you will loathe this piece as it brings out that many of our ardent conservatives are condemning the practice of homosexuality, vote constantly against bills that would help homosexuals, when in reality these legislators are closet homosexuals themselves.Larry Craig and other Republicans are prominently mentioned here. The Democrats don't get away with anything here either. Disgraced Gov. McGreevey and New York ex-Mayor Ed Koch are mentioned. Some really awful things are mentioned about Koch. Glad I never voted for him. Since Koch has never admitted to homosexuality, I am surprised that he did not take umbrage with this documentary coming out.

jzappa Outrage is aptly titled. Very aptly. It is an indictment of closeted politicians who lobby for anti-gay legislation in the U.S. They are dishonorable people who do dishonorable things out of weakness. If one were to tell me they thought this film was too judgmental of its subjects, I would disagree on the grounds that it remains objective to its found footage and interviewees, but I still might understand the opinion. The film is designed to outrage us by showing us the grave, sad and cyclical injustice that is being done to the gay community right this minute. But it should, because it is a view of the subject that is sadly muted in day-to-day consciousness.The reason we have generally successful politicians in a technologically developed melting pot like, apparently, the United States such as Sen. Larry Craig, Gov. Charlie Crist, Rep. David Dreier and Ed Koch is because people have family and friends whose rights as a person they vote against because they think Charlie Crist is just the most charming guy, or Larry Craig wants to do something as abstract and arguable as protecting our family values. The year is 2009 in a superpower country that claims to the rest of the world to be free and ideal. Is there any significant reason to be nice about it anymore? Kirby Dick went to great lengths to be more honest than anyone else has ever been about the MPAA Ratings Board for his vital documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated. Doing the same here is the sole key to his achieving a state of pure rage and disheartenment at the vanity, the spinelessness, the disingenuousness required to be embraced as a candidate in the Republican Party in this day and age. Yes, even that one. Of course he seems honest and down-to-earth and brave. The subjects of this documentary appear the same to that very constituency.In This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Dick actually began an official investigation into the lives of his subjects. Similarly here, he accompanies an investigator already working on uncovering the truth about the candidates who have fought to conform to an ideology in order to use a public office to seal the deal against those who share their pain and deal with it to more constructive ends. We see some of them, too. And they make a lot more sense when they talk, because they're Mass. Rep. Barney Frank, playwrights Larry Kramer and Tony Kushner, and columnist Michelangelo Signorile.The film is exactly what your conservative family and friends need to see. I know about the unspoken peace treaty on talking politics, and you don't have to. Just recommend a documentary that just blew you away called Outrage and tell them to sit down because they've got to watch it. It beats the eggshell-ridden small talk about school and work and other people.

Michael Fargo I walked into this film with quite a bit of ambivalence on "outting" anyone regarding their sexual orientation. True, it would be nice to live in a world where that isn't or shouldn't be an issue.The phenomenon of "interalized self-hatred" is something I was introduced to in the early 1990's. It may not be the reason someone--in particular a closeted homosexual--takes a position on a particular political issue, yet this film lines up a number of politicians and people who work in Washington's legislative community and lays out quite convincingly the argument that bigotry indeed is at work in our Nation's capitol, and the suppression of a group of people's rights is achieved through collusion with people who cannot or will not be honest with themselves or the people they represent.Does exposing these individuals accomplish anything other than the satisfaction of calling a spade a spade? This film makes the case that, yes, in more than a few cases it is worthwhile.A superb example of the art of film-making, together with passionate testimony from people on one side of a fence that often aren't covered in the mainstream press, this is one of the better documentaries of the decade. I was a convert by the time I walked out of this film.
