Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1980s British clergy faced intense scrutiny around sexuality; Section 28 loomed. The film's tension isn't just personal — it's political survival.
The real Jim reportedly never acted on his desires again. The film's deliberate ambiguity about the ending mirrors historical silence around queer clergy.
