In his first film role since coming out as a trans man, the actor has evidently brought much of his own identity and experience to this sensitively observed story of a trans man cagily reunited with his family after a five-year period of estrangement. (In addition to producing the project, he shares a story-writing credit with director Dominic Savage.) But Page\u2019s performance isn\u2019t moving merely for whatever parallels it might hold to his life: Rather, it\u2019s a reminder of what a deft and perceptive actor he can be, capable of both naked emotional candor and acidic wit \u2014 both assets to a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> that sometimes errs on the side of caution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    British director Savage is known for his improvisatory collaborations with actors, which recently drew career-best work from Gemma Arterton in the 2017 feature \u201cThe Escape,\u201d and extended to the TV project \u201cI Am\u2026,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of intimate standalone character portraits by the likes of Samantha Morton, Letitia Wright and a BAFTA-winning Kate Winslet. Crossing over to Canada to work with Page on his home turf, the director\u2019s technique once again gives his star ample leeway to explore himself on screen, in the process capturing something that feels truthful, however fictionally constructed. That sense of raw integrity has stood the film in good stead on the festival circuit, attracting particular interest from LGBT-oriented programmers and distributors, since its buzzy Toronto premiere last fall, shortly after the publication of Page\u2019s memoir \u201cPageboy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Dramatically, however, improv yields mixed rewards in \u201cClose to You,\u201d which bounces between scenes that are finely detailed in their examination of open prejudice and subtler microaggressions in the family sphere, and others that are more vaguely essayed, building relationships on backstories that don\u2019t yet feel fully formed. From-the-gut acting, not just by Page but a fine ensemble of Canuck character players, carries the film across the line, though even at a modest 98 minutes, it could feel tighter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    A day-long timeframe gives us a limited sense of who Sam (Page) is outside the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te drama surrounding him, though the actor\u2019s alternately tense and square-shouldered body language conveys a man used to assuming different stances and faces depending on the company he\u2019s in. We meet him, nervy and caustic, in the boho-chic Toronto apartment he shares with a roommate, clinging to his coffee mug as he warily contemplates his plans for the day ahead: a train ride to his sleepy hometown on Lake Ontario, where he is to join his extended family for his father\u2019s birthday lunch. It\u2019s a visit he\u2019s been putting off for years. Though his ostensibly progressive parents and siblings have notionally accepted his chosen gender identity, he has never shaken the feeling that he\u2019s an outsider in their presence. \u201cIt\u2019s like I owe them so much,\u201d he sighs \u2014 to him, their acceptance feels like a gesture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Sure enough, the reunion begins amicably but never quite comfortably, the mood aptly set by DP Catherine Lutes\u2019 frosty, dun-hued lensing of the family home\u2019s low-lit, timber-heavy interiors. Sam\u2019s mother Miriam (a wonderful Wendy Crewson) is eager to make up for lost time, offering effusive affection but trying too hard: When she absentmindedly uses the wrong pronouns, her apologies put Sam in the position of comforting her. Dad Jim (Peter Outerbridge) is more relaxed, content simply to see his once severely withdrawn child leading a productive, independent life; Sam\u2019s older sisters are more passive-aggressive, almost reproachful in their persistent enquiries as to his happiness. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cYou weren\u2019t this worried about me when I was actually not okay,\u201d Sam responds, in one of the film\u2019s most cutting lines \u2014 a sentiment that lays the groundwork for a more heated familial dispute in response to the less politely disguised transphobia of his brother-in-law Paul (David Reale). This scene serves as the film\u2019s centerpiece, bringing any number of latent conflicts collectively to the surface, though there is an air of contrivance, workshopping even, to its heavily pointed rhetoric. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Counteracting this tension is the separate, gentler subplot of Sam\u2019s unexpected reconnection with former high-school BFF Katherine (Hillary Baack), now a married suburban mother with clear yearnings for something more. They meet by chance on the train from Toronto, later reuniting in town for a heart to heart. In contrast to the trickier tacit negotiations with his family, Katherine\u2019s acceptance of his new identity is unquestioning and unconditional (\u201cYou look the same, just more you,\u201d she tenderly observes), and realigned desire is stirred between them. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This tentative romance is poignant, but timidly approached: Katherine never comes fully into focus as a character outside her relationship to Sam, which itself is drawn in soft pastel strokes, while the sparse piano and sorrowful strings of the score (composed by Savage with Oliver Coates) is called on to fill in some emotional blanks. The stories of a brittle family fallout and a second-chance spark don\u2019t entirely mesh together, though they afford Page a full spectrum of feeling to play: hard and soft, guarded and unbound, combative and seductive. For any viewers who have lost touch with the star, it\u2019s a happy reacquaintance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
