It had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where is won the Grand Jury Prize for US Drama.
In an interview with the BBC Moretz revealed her personal connection to the movie’s themes.
Her two brothers are gay and coming from a small conservative Christian town it “was jarring to the community when they came out.”
The actress went on to say that her brothers dealt with a lot of self-hate and tried to pray the gay away.
