Screening at the jam-packed near 2,500 seat Eccles Theater just outside Park City, the Elijah Bynum film had the room buzzing early on with a crowd that included the likes of director Boots Riley, Sundance juror Jeremy O. Harris, Sony Pictures Classics co-head Michael Barker, Searchlight Distribution Boss Frank Rodriguez, and the label’s SVP of Acquisitions and Production Chan Phung.
Depicting the downward and deadly spiral of a deeply traumatized amateur body builder, the film co-starring Haley Bennett and Taylour Paige, spares no punches on issues on race, poverty, sexuality and marginalization. As the film progressed, there were scatters of people leaving the theater, clearly distressed by what they’d seen. After less than a minute of applause, 25% of the film emptied.
Paige, having seen the film for the first time, was greatly moved, breaking down in tears to great applause, “We have to take care of each other.”
