Half-new at most, this "Running With Scissors"type tale of a precocious, effeminate teen who gets hot for teacher while prepping for a life in the arts isn't evidently autobiographical. Neither is it funny--or poignant or insightful or remotely worth one's time.

"Thing" suffers the familiar curse of Canadian seriocomedy -- just nice enough in content and stylistically like a telepic.
More satisfying than not, and it plays out credibly.
This movie is a more conventional, but also more believable, exploration of the potential cost of thumbing your nose at society.
