David, that movie was already released out here in the East Coast a few weeks ago. I saw it with my movie buddy. It's kind of a mixed bag--some good strong performances (mainly from the two protagonists, and Jackie Bisset has a great supporting role as a world-weary restaurant owner), good camerawork, and an epically dreadful script--a lot of the speeches sound as if cribbed from Shirley Maclaine's self-help books of the 70s and 80s.
It does present a harrowing staging of a Mormon "treatment center" for gay children. Pretty strong stuff.
Gordon-Leavitt certainly has grown up since his work on Dark Shadows and that other show. His hair is short now. He only has one good scene in this movie, but he does a wonderful job with it. I hope he continues to find work on a par with his abilities.
cheers, Steve
