Front-Ranger:
This review of the movie addresses that age-old question, Were Jack and Ennis homosexual? and takes a Freudian view.

Very unconvincing.
Front-Ranger:
I thought so too. For one thing, the author says something like "Jack's mother was never mentioned" when he mentioned her at least once and seems to have had a nice relationship with her. The author never addresses the scene in the Twist house at the end.

You're being kind.
I'd say to call it a film about "maternal deprivation" is bull.
