PRESS
BBC Scotland:
'...extraordinary new film exploring whether pressures of convention turn us against one another.'
Pink News:
'...amazing short explains what homophobia feels like in 2018.'
Short List:
'...a stunning short film called ‘Time For Love’ - which went massively viral on Twitter in April - from Scottish poet and filmmaker Sean Lionadh, for BBC Scotland’s The Social, has captured exactly why gay men still don’t feel comfortable holding hands or kissing in public – even in Britain in 2018.'
Pride:
'A film like this needs to be seen. The emotions are strong, tight, and will strike a chord in anyone whose love has ever been up for the judgment of others.'
Gay Times:
'...cleverly shines a spotlight on society’s incorrect idea of what ‘normal’ is supposed to be, while going through some very common reactions to a same-sex couple being together in the park.'
