Violence against queers occurs in all possible forms. Closet homosexuals also, as this film shows.
In this enlightening film is a good example. The drag artist Jules is subjected to blind violence because he is who he is. The assailant is queer himself. George MacKey plays the abuser. The bitter and probably psychopathic Preston. He is both violent, criminal and "super straight", actually straight straight - outwardly. The way George MacKey brilliantly manages to portray this character. For me he is the real star of this film, although the main character Jules played by Nathan Stewart-Jarrett is also made for this role.
The film shows hate crime and the complexity of people who commit violence. Although the abuser Preston is unable to understand these difficult feelings he has, it still comes across in this film. The incredible thing is that Jules is the one who manages to actually manage (masterfully) to challenge a deeper set of emotions in Preston. The actor is incredibly good at showing layers upon layers. This means that this film avoids becoming a stereotypical story about "bad guys and good guys".
The film turns to a story of revenge. But dives further into the chaotic and sad life of Preston. It also makes the film a kind of sociological study, in addition to being a story about what happens when people suppress emotions and become dangerous ticking, unpredictable bombs.
Kudos to everyone involved in this story.
