Swimmingly
Today's film is another coming out/ coming of age film.
It is pretty good. Which is not an acclaim or even damning with faint praise.
It is hard to put an original spin on the eternal gay teen coming out story but it is always interesting to see a different take or even the same take as before.
I have said here before that gay men hunger to see gay movies and books. We did so long without. Still starved.
If you are new to gay life this is a very reassuring movie. There are no vicious queens, well maybe a catty ex-boy-friend with an alcohol problem. But then that is part of the scene.
The main character here is a swimmer hence the title and metaphor.
It is all good.
A 3 out of Netflix5.
