This was a powerful movie. I teared up quite a few times. And watching this in 2021, it is still so relevant just sub in race or immigrant for being gay. My only problem with this movie is that it feels way too exploitative and Matthew Shepard should be the main character, but he ends up becoming a background one. It should be about his story, not the horrible town’s that fostered the situation that lead to his death. As it is, this is quite an interesting and in-depth look at a rural town’s psyche.
