Phillips stated that he decided to cut the same-sex kiss because it "just kind of got in the way of the moment" that he wanted to create, emphasizing that he wanted the scene to be more about music and vibe rather than dialogue.
Reflecting on the final edit of the film, Joaquin Phoenix expressed difficulty discussing the cut scenes, saying, "Oh God, it's so hard to talk about... I feel like we achieved what we set out to do," suggesting a complex emotional response to the final product.
