The company, however, canceled the release and is expected to release the film in the country only for home video. The decision went awry and Garrard Conley himself, an activist whose book inspired the film, spoke of "censorship". The company says the decision was made "solely and exclusively on a commercial issue based on the cost of the launch campaign compared to box office estimates".
Based on the memoir of the American activist and directed by Joel Edgerton, the film was nominated for the Golden Globe in the Best Fiction category, for Lucas Hedges, Actor and Best Music for Movies (and no finally took none of them, nor brought any Oscar nominations). Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman complete the cast.
