Was Ben and Gary gay?

The reason I ask is because the film hinted an incestuous relationship between the two.

Yeah. It was bizarre. Might have been a better movie if Pruitt Taylor Vince had been in it for more than 5 minutes to develop his character (or lack of it).

i agree that there wasn't enough development, but i don't think it was a gay incest thing. if they explained it more it would have been clearer, but the impression i got was just two regular brothers (maybe not regular lmao).

Some of us find Salvation in Nothing.

I definitely got a bit of weirdness from the robe scene, but I agree that they seemed to have a mostly "normal" relationship otherwise. Based on the horribly chewed up version of the film I saw, I'm thinking it was possibly just an oddly acted scene that the director thought was good enough. That's actually what I got from most of the film... A whole lot of "eh, good enough". It was a hilarious and baffling experience.

(maybe not regular lmao).

Haha.

Brothers, you say? Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah. Gary even admits that. And their last names are both Dexter.
