Quotes:
Emily: Fitting in with the outside world, respectability, suitability, conformity, were never high on my priority list; neither was normalcy. I admit: I cultivated arrogance. The world would be our school; I wanted to learn it and teach it to you. more

Bacon and Sedgewick show both heart and tenacity in succeeding in bringing Loverboy to the screen. I saw the film at the Phoenix Film Festival.

Loverboy is a story about love, insanity, and life. Everyone delivers a great performance, especially Sedgwick and the child actor Dominic Scott Kay. Bacon was a masterful director with a small part too.

Watch this the first chance you get. This movie may not make it in the mainstream, but it is haunting, powerful, and wonderful.

(They use a few other well known actors because these are friends of the Bacons who agreed to act at the lowest rates since the film was shot on a shoe-string budget.)
