These criticisms sound fair. I think I'm still interested in the film despite what sound like understandable flaws. This is the film that'll probably fall out of the Best Picture conversation, but it should definitely still be an acting player for Hedges, Crowe, and Kidman.

Russel Crowe ending up being this film's only acting nom would be pretty surprising

[The Panda]

Kind of seems like this is going to get overshadowed when movies like Roma, First Man, The Other Side of the Wind and A Star is Born really came out the gate strong.

[Hiccup23]

Seems like another Call Me By Your Name.

 

Will get less Oscar nominations than expected and get shafted by the studio like (Call Me By Your Name and Love, Simon)

Limited release on November 2nd won't help.  I think this one might be similar to Doubt though?  IDK.

 

Anyway, I hope it breaks out big since it is about LBGT therapy.

A Call Me by Your Name-esque total would be similarly fine for this movie. Doubt anyone ever expected a movie about gay conversion therapy to light the box office on fire.

So how many people are going to confuse this and Beautiful Boy

I doubt it will get any noms.  Kidman seems to be getting stronger reviews for Destroyer and the reviews so far don't look strong enough to take this subject matter to a wide release.

I think it will go wide....seems to have a more broad appeal than Call Me By Your Name. 

 

It won't be a huge wide release but a moderate 1,000 to 1,500 theater one.

Going nation wide November 16

 

Seems like Focus isn't gonna keep this in the limited market forever like Call Me By Your Name

Seems like it's gonna get a sizeable expansion the weekend before too (it's opening here on the 9th).

While I'm not sure exactly how elections work within a school district, but there was recently (this year) a group from the local Christian School in my old town partitioning to be elected for some position in the public school district where they would lobby to change the sex-ed curriculum in town towards something closer to "gay conversion therapy" rather than "promoting the gay agenda that the school district is currently using to manipulate our youth".

 

They did not get voted in, but it was scary.
