Dir Dominic Savage | Canada, UK | 2023 | 100 mins | Rated 15 | English
Sam is a trans man from Toronto, still adjusting to transition in a new city and with a new job. Having not seen his family for four years, he bites the bullet and heads back to his home town for his father’s birthday. Not only does he have to deal with the ignorance and discomfort of his family, but a chance encounter with a former girlfriend, now married with children, reopens old wounds and forces Sam to come to terms with the realities, both good and ill, of his new life.

REVIEWS
“”Close to You is a quiet celebration of queer lives.”” Noah Berlatsky, Chicago Reader
“Page’s performance isn’t moving merely for whatever parallels it might hold to his life: Rather, it’s a reminder of what a deft and perceptive actor he can be…” Guy Lodge, Variety
“… serves as Page the Movie Star’s reintroduction to audiences, showing he is a singular talent as ever.” Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
“Boasts a soul-baring performance from Page in a drama that is sometimes emotionally testing, but that has the mark of undeniable integrity.” Jonathan Romney, Screen International
