Role names[edit]

Ref SupportingCastAnnounced^[1] includes no information on roles for the people listed. Jhilden13 (talk) 01:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone else think perhaps they should only include the most critical main characters in the "cast" section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthonyabat (talk • contribs) 19:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dark and muffled[edit]

I saw this movie recently, but I found it hard to watch as all the scenes were dimly lit and much of the dialogue was muffled and indistinct. I could follow the story OK, but too often it was a real struggle to make out who was saying what. Was this a deliberate technique of the filmmakers? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 20:09, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it in theatres and didn't notice anything out of the usual in lighting or sound. Maybe it was the theatre. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 10:36, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. Or maybe my ears and eyes. Thanks. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 10:44, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Film's budget[edit]

So, how come no word or figures for the film's budget anywhere in the article?

Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 20:31, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

>> Likely to mask the fact that it was a box office failure. They banked on Oscar nominations but got none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.129.194.113 (talk) 20:32, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Edits[edit]

In the coming weeks, I will make a few changes to this article. Most of my changes will include adding new content to the article. I will first look at improving the Reception section, where it can become more balanced and include a wider array of sources. Not only that, but I seek to add an Analysis section to the article where I will include the analyses of several writers who note the film's mentions of conversion therapy and the context surrounding the specific conversion therapy program from the film. This will make readers better able to understand a critical subject of this film. Check out my Bibliography to see some of my propositions. --Anthonyabat (talk) 14:18, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
