[@loungeroomproductions9106]

can someone tell me when we are getting a trailer

[@applepickerify]

The interviewer just ignored Thandie Newton's comment regarding personal privacy

[@petergallagher7762]

Maybe Kit Harington's first nomination at the Oscar. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Starkardur]

The movie is getting horrendous reviews. It's more likely to win a Razzie at this point.

[@roshellyist]

LOL

[@dancemonkey118]

Good joke

[@kewsmom]

The casting for this was like a pickup game but it works. A beautiful thoughtful film I watch often.

[@hallaja8338]

[@borismuller86]

Way to mess up the title IMDB.

[@lightscreening1475]

Quite messy. But an interesting comment on stardom. I reviewed this one.

[@vanessaraices8389]

Man Kit his soo hot❤ where it's the trailer?

[@thanostsarbos1197]

Hearing the worst from critics about this film

[@dancemonkey118]

Where is Natalie Portman?

[@atticmichael]

What's up with the dislikes?

[@NatE-ms6ri]

Jessica Chastain stans upset she was cut from the movie and pretending to have seen the movie too. Shame.

[@atticmichael]

What? Jessica and Xavier and still really good friends. She's disappointed but not upset?

[@hannahmerrill3079]

It’ll be strange seeing Kit play a gay character! He’s one of my favorites, but I do believe that gay actors should be given the roles of gay characters first for the record.

[@May04bwu]

So gay actors shouldn't play straight characters? You can't discriminate people because of their sexual orientation.

[@hannahmerrill3079]

That’s not what I mean at all, but it’s just like how people got all up in arms about Scarlet Johanson playing a trans man when she’s obviously a cis woman. Roles should go to the people who get less representation first.

[@Aramazdkhatcherian]

OR , since we're taking about the ones who get less representation, maybe let the straight actors play gay characters and instead give chance to gay or trans actors/actresses to play roles which don't put at display the connection between the actor's sexual identity and their character.

[@Aramazdkhatcherian]

Watch the interview again. That's EXACTLY what Xavier was talking about to a degree as well.

[@ElBlogDeUnVago]

No, it should be played by the one who fit the best at the role. It doesn't matter the personal life

[@roddysda1788]

Heard the movie is God awful.

[@starsickkk]

Roddy Sda from whom?

[@sinedincoflaz4766]

From whom?

[@NatE-ms6ri]

By Jessica Chastain fans as soon as it was announced she was cut from the film. Which is sad because Jessica is a classy and graceful lady and actress, so fans acting like this is mental but also amusing.

[@starsickkk]

@@NatE-ms6ri so they denounced it as god awful before anyone had even seen it... and now people are supposedly hearing it's god awful without any basis? sounds about right

[@zacharymoore4637]

The movie is said to be a disaster. Dolan all but admitted it sucks montrealgazette.com/entertainment/movies/tiff-review-xavier-dolans-the-death-and-life-of-john-f-donovan
