  • Concealing Hutton’s tooth gap is criticized because the gap is part of her beauty and individuality.
  • Schrader’s retrospective wish for a more openly gay Julian is discussed alongside his stated interest in gay culture; the further provocation may exceed autobiographical intent.
  • The television adaptation is criticized as overcomplicated and a waste of Bernthal despite an encouraging pilot and appealing prison material; Rosie O’Donnell’s detective is mentioned.
  • The characters’ conspicuously poor attempts to tail one another are criticized.
