Writer-director Corey Sherman’s gentle debut observes an awkward 14-year-old boy who develops a healing bond with his cousin’s beefy new man.
There’s an everyday magical quality to the brief summer camping trip in which quiet yet formative changes take hold in, Corey Sherman’s slender but lovely study of a chubby gay teen’s first steps toward self-acceptance.
The writer-director’s personal experience is threaded through every scene of a well-acted movie that’s sure to be a modest crowd-pleaser at festivals and could also land streamer exposure. The kind of young queer audiences who made Netflix’sa hit should gravitate to this highly specific but relatable story, which will speak most directly to awkward-age boys struggling to see how their hefty frames might fit into a gay landscape that so idealizes the Adonis model of physical beauty.
