Summary

"Bros" had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its writing, performances, humor, and representation of the LGBTQ community. One aspect of the film which took some by surprise was the inclusion of an original song in the film's climax titled "Love Is Not Love." The song is seen as a contender for this year's Academy Awards for Best Original Song. Songwriters Billy Eicher and Marc Shaiman were kind enough to spend some time talking about the song with us, including if Billy will perform at the ceremony if the song is nominated, and more.
