A wonderfully touching story of first
love, this British film is sweet without being sentimental. In
a cramped city tenement, two teenage outsiders, Ste (Scott Neal)
and Jamie (Glen Berry), are unhappy and misunderstood until they
muddle through their adolescent emotions and figure it out--they're
in love! Together the two discover how to run the obstacle course
of parents, friends and onlookers, who all have some pretty powerful
reservations about teen boys in love. Written by playwright Jonathan
Harvey when he was 24, Beautiful Thing has a direct, unpretentious
style that's almost overwhelmingly endearing.
