Spoiler Alert
movie·PG-13·Dec 16, 2022·
The film's plot exists only to center a same-sex romance scripted by activist Dan Savage, delivering an 8/10 woke rating that prioritizes messaging over story. Skip it if overt political framing is a turnoff.
The film's entire premise centers on the 14-year romantic and sexual relationship between two men, Michael Ausiello (played by openly gay actor Jim Parsons) and Kit Cowan (Ben Aldridge), beginning with their meet-cute at a Manhattan gay nightclub, progressing through coming out to Kit's parents, marriage, and Kit's terminal cancer diagnosis and death.
This queer relationship is not incidental but the foundational driver of every major plot point, emotional arc, and marketing element, including the poster depicting the two men in an intimate embrace. The screenplay by Dan Savage, a prominent LGBTQ activist and columnist, further embeds this focus as the core narrative rather than a neutral love story adaptable to any pairing.
