Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Paulson's first leading film role, shot when she was 22 but playing 17. She'd later become Ryan Murphy's muse—imagine this energy but make it prestige TV.
Ernie Hudson's character Downbeat was clearly written as a Magical Black Mentor™—the 90s loved this trope, and this film loves it uncritically.
