The documentary film Wish Me Away is the story of Chely Wright, the first country music star to come out as gay. Over three years, the filmmakers were given extraordinary access to Chely's struggle and her unfolding plan to come out publicly.

Using interviews with Chely, her family, her pastor, and key players in Nashville interwoven with Chely's intimate private video diaries, the film goes deep into her back story as an established country music star and then forward as she steps into the national spotlight to reveal her secret.

Chronicling the aftermath in her hometown of Nashville and within the larger LGBT community, Wish Me Away reveals both the devastation of her own internalized homophobia and the transformational power of living an authentic life.

Wish Me Away premiered in New York Friday, and critics are warming to the country star's harrowing coming-out story.

The New York Daily News liked the film's coverage of Wright's relationship with her family, while The New York Times calls part of the film "heartbreaking."

"By the end you may not be a fan of her music," writes The Times' Jeannette Catsoulis, "but it's hard not to root for her rebirth."

The film opens June 15 in Los Angeles. Watch the trailer below.
