Reviews:

A fantastic film which was very close to home.
I have just watched this film as part of Film 4’s British Connection. I felt this film was an excellent exploration of homosexuality in the heart of Middle Class Britain. I lived close to the film’s location Basingstoke when this was made and am the same age (give or take a year) as the main character, Stephen. Whilst never being as confident in my sexuality as Stephen, I really connected with the story told, his relationship with his parents and the scatter-shot but inadvertently appropriate use of homophobic abuse by the bullies.

Also thought the excellent flashes of dialogue uplifted the film such as “Whenever I see that badge (Head Boy) I wish it were an invitation.” Priceless. The performances are almost perfect through out (I was a little unconvinced by Jon the Head Boy to begin with but warmed to him hugely as the film and love story progressed.) The cinematography is suitably understated and this is not the most cinematic film ever shot, which I feel helps with the realism. Some of the symbolism is quite fantastic, especially the closing shot, which I wont spoil.

I found it to be a much more recognisable film for me than Brokeback Mountain, Not to that films detriment, it is a masterpiece but I may feel closer to this because I have regularly been to the Odean in Basingstoke, but have never herded sheep on a snowy mountainside with Jake Gyllenhall.

It is a simple effective narrative about a subject close to my heart and I recommend it highly.

Solid Teenage Comedy-drama
“Get Real” is a well made coming-of-age film, which takes place in today’s England. It has charm, pathos and humor, and takes its place besides “Beautiful Thing” as a sincere contemporary comedy-drama. This time the setting is an upper middle class community, and most of the scenes revolve around the high school where the young hero and his friends are attending. Ben Silverstone shines in the lead role of Steven Carter. John Dixon, looking more mature than high school age, convincingly plays Carter’s chum, John Dixon. The two work well together, heading a nice comic cast. The DVD version of this movie is especially attractive, and the optional subtitles are of great help in assisting one’s comprehension of some of the thick English dialogue. A film which easily bears repeated viewings.
