Trivia
Despite its positive reception and victory at the Sundance Film Festival, the film struggled for months to get picked up by a distributor. According to star Chloë Grace Moretz, the film was the first Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner in over 25 years to not receive immediate distribution (the prior film being Bryan Singer's Public Access (1993)). It was eventually purchased by FilmRise however it received a very limited theatrical run in only 85 theaters in North America.

Goofs
After Cam gets caught when Coley and Cameron are making out in the back seat of Cam's BF car, she is seen pulling up her black panties. BUT, just earlier when they were dancing she was wearing pantyhose (as she was all evening), so those would be down too, but they are not there.

Quotes
Cameron: How is programming people to hate themselves not emotional abuse?

I expected much more

I've been waiting for this movie for a really long time. I've heard it's gonna be similar to the movie 'But I'm a Cheerleader' and I can say that it is but only up to a point. It seems more mature. I don't know why but I expected more plot. I was a bit disappointed when it ended and I didn't feel like anything was resolved. The main character seems so lost and we usually expect her to find her way but she didn't. On the other side, this movie is really important because it talks about homosexuality in more mature way. And this is maybe the first time they have actually shown an accurate depiction of what the religion really says about this topic. What I find also important is that it discusses the possible causes that led to the SSA. All in all, it's not a complete waste of time but do not expect too much.
