This movie is terrible. So many scenes don't make any sense. The motivations of the characters are unclear, the acting is embarrassing and the plot line is very confusing. We started laughing at it and forced ourselves to watch it up to when the last rabbit was shot (don't ask why the poor white bunnies seem to attract guys with guns). This may sound picky, but it's shot in Canada in the winter and no one wears gloves outdoors. Throughout you are asking why did he/she say that, what are they doing, how did that guy get there.
One of the main characters tries to commit suicide at the beginning of the movie by kicking a hole in an ice-covered pond, planning on drowning in the ice-cold water. Bad plan and a very awkward scene when his friend tries to save him. It was all downhill from there.
No connection to the Shakespeare play whatever. Find another movie.

I got fifteen minutes in and gave up. I don't think I have ever seen such dreadful and unconvincing acting. Do these people actually have membership of the acting union? If so, they should hand their cards back in right now. There wasn't a single character in the first fifteen minutes whose actor portraying him or her was realistic at all.
It's a nasty, spiteful film full of unpleasant characters. Even the gay people shown were not particularly sympathetic. Either bullies, whiny, closeted, they did not make a satisfying backdrop to the film at all.
Please don't waste your money on this cheapo production.

The 2nd review was spot on. I wanted to like this one much like other Breaking Glass movies, but this was just frenetic and disjointed.
The characters were at one second yelling and the next second, literally, calm and normal. The parents didn't make any sense, their emotions are upside down when it comes to their own children.
The bully is so obviously what he's accusing the victims of? His 'gf' ... knows? The pacing is uneven, the emotions are opposite of what they should be, and the writing just seems like they wrote a script from a brainstorming session on what gay kids experience.
The whole movie is just unbelievable and truly over the top in the bad way. Just cringe-y all around.

I admitt, I like it. For themes, from bulying to pressure of parents and homophobia , from hidden attraction for other under skin of humiliation of him, for try of actors, for compassion for too young Emma Catalfamo.
Maybe, the presence of white rabbit , from drawings to target is the main motif for appreciate him.
So, in large terms, a decent film ( more with value of sketch ).
The only problem for me remains the final of film. Maybe , I am not so good Christian ( in fact, obvious I am not ) for accept the generosity of Peter or imagine the reconciliation spirit from bully or noble spirit of his girl friend. The suicide of the beloved remains too traumatic event to cover it so easy.
But, sure, one opinion. Against critics , many just fair, I see it as a reasonable gay film , fair exploration of sensitive themes.

The ending spoke a trillion words all at once. This movie did something Ive never seen done before but you have to pay attention and see the characters for thier obviosities not "over the top" comparison. This movie hit home. It rang of realism. Build to climax.
