CGiii Comment
Delightful. Original. Refreshing.
A talented film that deals with the over-discussed subject of...coming-out.
What raises this head and shoulders above the rest is the simple order that the film follows: denial, bargaining and acceptance - Bardwell demonstrates intelligence and skill.
Yes, it is an important film and more from this auteur would be very welcome and eagerly anticipated.

The(ir) Blurb...
Coming-of-age. A small-town young man realizes why he's such a misfit - he's gay! Adolescence is proving a pain for the always-thinking Dorian. He's an outcast and the butt of classmates' fag jokes at high school. He's different and understands why when he reaches the conclusion that he's a "stereotypical gay." He soon announces this discovery to his homophobic, Nixon-loving dad. As Dad throws him out of the house, Dorian's off to NYU to encounter a new world of coffee houses, sophisticates and handsome men.
