"🌟👍🏾💔👍🏾🌟 A father’s self-reflective journey. This movie is based on a very touching, #emotional and #tragic #truestory ~ EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES by Mark Walberg & Reid Miller 👏🏽👏🏽 Connie Britton & Gary Sinise also co-star in this, but have very small roles ~ IMDB says: If you’re a fan of Netflix’s YOU (2018), you can catch Reid Miller in Season 2 as Goetz. (I will definitely finish up S1 of YOU, so I can quickly move on to S2 after seeing Miller’s performance in this). #LGBTQ"
"Wow. This movie really tugs at the heartstrings. Based on a true story. But it has such a poignant message. It’s a really great movie. Should most definitely watch it. Mark Wahlberg is absolutely tremendous. And it’s really nice to see Gary Sinise. I really miss him. He’s not in too much recently but he has a small part in this and of course he is wonderful. He is such a great actor. So, if you don’t mind crying, I highly recommend this movie. Again, the message is so very vital, important "

"One of the best gay-themed movies I’ve seen, with the story-line more original than most. That it happens to be true is astonishing. There are some twists along the way as accepting dad Mark Wahlberg walks across America, so best not to read up on the plot or you will miss the impact of what otherwise come as complete shockers. It’s emotional without being too hackneyed. Fine performances all round, this movie is highly recommended."

"Wonderful, thought provoking movie. Mark Wahlberg stars in 'Joe Bell,' a tragic true story about an Oregon family. Joe Bell was killed while walking across the country to honor his 15-year-old son who died by suicide after he was bullied for being gay. When will we learn to be more tolerant and accepting of people’s differences. "
