Harris Dickinson goes out on a bit of a limb with this role - and generally pulls off a convincing effort as a sexually repressed/confused teenager who leads a triple life - with a straight girlfriend; with his macho homophobic mates and when he picks up men online - or on Coney Island pier - for casual sex.

This was pretty bad, it's about a bunch of drug addicts who are always out to get high, there isn't one decent character in the entire movie. The main character likes to hook up with much older guys who can support his habit.
