Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's title refers to both Sam's inflation (bullying slang for being humiliated) and his literal levitation — merging shame and escape into one image.
Released amid #MeToo conversations about toxic masculinity, Merrifield deliberately made Sam's power non-violent — flight as refusal rather than revenge.
