The cinematography is nice, Brendan frasher's performance was good but outside of that you have such empty characters. Sadie sinks characters is borderline annoying and the concept of "teenagers are like that" is a stretch to say the least with this character.
All I see is a gay man who has done some wrong things in his life but not to the degree where he needs to be punished THIS muchm
I think the movie is more of a showcase of how cruel and unsympathetic cis people are to queer people then anything the movie is trying to do.
