A kid dies, misery deepens, the community's sense of misery deepens.
So as that happens, they need to reach for this sense of divine salvation.
So the white-nuggle grip on dogma just gets harder and harder.
But I get it.
On a script level, on a characterization level, you could say they're underwritten or you could say, as I do, that I think they cracked it because I think there's a truth here that goes deeper than the story beats and the demands of screenplay structure.
Because if we got more of the religious folks or, God forbid, if like the preacher character became the villain, right, that they had to – No, we didn't need him.
That would feel really artless and basic to me and I kind of admire –
That they didn't go that way.
But this is, as you both mentioned, this is a bleak film.
And I know we've talked on the show, I've talked to both of you about horror as trauma.
And we've also talked about queer trauma.
This is, you know, two mints in one.
Yeah.
So what would you say to folks who say...
Why would I want to see a film about queer trauma?
Why can't there be a happy ending?
Why would I subject myself to this?
I hear this critique, by the way, from a lot of younger queer folks.
And I get it.
And I feel a certain way about it.
