I saw the film at a screening. It's pretty good, important. Everyone is great in the film except Mark Ruffalo. His acting is kinda terrible at times and the direction to project dialogue at times doesn't work on film. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is a sequel "The Destiny of Me"
Finebydesign, you're absolutely right. There was a sequel called The Destiny of Me in the late 1980's, with Jonathan Hadary playing the older Ned Weeks and the then-unknown John Cameron Mitchell playing the younger Ned Weeks. It was generally considered a disappointment.
