"Jared Leto: 'I road-tested my character to get a little judgment, some meanness, a little condemnation'"

It wasn't long before there were questions, of course, about cis playing trans, but things have mainly moved on since then. I saw the film and liked it. Dedicated acting is not to be sneered at. Maybe in the end it's another instance of American cinema doing overdramatic penance for the waning of the dream.
