    • Trivia
      Garrard Conley turned down the opportunity to write the adaptation himself as he believed a filmmaker would be better fit to translate his memoir to the big screen.
    • Goofs
      On the first day of therapy, Jon arrives late, with the top two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. A moment later while he's seated and begins buttoning his shirt, the top four buttons are unbuttoned.
    • Quotes

      Brandon: [with boys lined up on a masculinity scale] Fake it till you make it. Become the man you are not. So, you think Cameron here is the big winner, huh? You think being big and tall and overeating immediately puts a guy at the front of the line, but it's more that triangles and postures and genetics. A firm handshake. Let's go! Do it.

    • Crazy credits

    An impressive movie of a terrifying practice

    It is scary what we do to ourselves and our families. This is a dramatization of a real life horror. Well written, well acted and well directed.
