Get Real
Aroview: This British tale of a teen schoolboy's frustratingly closeted affair with the athletic head boy of his high school makes the grade to appeal to straight audiences as well, especially adolescents. Like a middle-class BEAUTIFUL THING, the difficulties of being different are finely conveyed (especially through newcomer Ben Silverstone), with a final act that heroically and poignantly tests its complex themes of prejudice, honesty and integrity.
