I saw the film at Outfest at the Ford. We were a trapped audience due to the stacked parking in the lot. Otherwise, I believe many would have left early. Lots of grumbles as we were walking out. No one understood the movie. It was a warped idea of a modern Romeo & Juliet that just didn't work. The script was forced to format. The actors were good and surprisingly got an award from Outfest for their acting. It also had moments of music video stuff out of the blue thrown into the middle of the movie that didn't have anything to do with the plot. No one I talked to liked the movie accept the distributor who picked it up over all the other great movies that played at the festival.
