US comedy drama in which an eccentric teenager struggles to find acceptance at his conservative high school.
Alex Lawther gives a big and beautiful performance in Trudie Styler's debut drama.
Lawther’s a charismatic, uncompromising lead, and Billy’s campaign is an inspiring one, but this sometimes settles for broad strokes of heroism or villainy where more subtlety would have increased its impact.
A rambling, indulgent, occasionally charming, high school/coming of age comedy-drama.
Smug, overcooked.
It barely scratches the surface of the complex themes that it wants to explore.
Trudie Styler’s well-intentioned film sees a gay boy try to turn his high-school troubles around.
