Sam (Elliot Page) hasn’t been home since his transition. After four years in Toronto, he takes along-dreaded trip back to his hometown for his father’s birthday. Once there, he confronts unresolved wounds and reconnects with an old friend.
"Page’s performance is... a reminder of what a deft and perceptive actor he can be, capable of both naked emotional candor and acidic wit — both assets to a script that sometimes errs on the side of caution." -Variety
""Close to You" also serves as Page the Movie Star’s reintroduction to audiences, showing he is a singular talent as ever. -RogerEbert.com
