Leans Traditional
Primary

Secondary
LGBTQ: Neutral
Confidence: High
The film features a character, Laurence, who briefly mentions having a boyfriend and visiting a gay bar. This detail is part of his overall erratic and unreliable dialogue, contributing to his disturbed persona. The portrayal is incidental, neither affirming nor denigrating LGBTQ+ identity, as the character's problematic nature is unrelated to his sexuality.
