Review of Geography Club (2013) by Kate C — 15 Nov 2013

Every generation has their coming-of-age LGBT story. Geography Club isn't breaking new ground, but there are a few twists to the usual storyline and the leads are really very good in their roles. Mostly the movie is uneven and episodic, but there are moments that are much more effective and creative. I especially liked a sequence of images that focused on some inanimate object in the foreground while the main character is out of focus in the background, finally coming into focus on him at a pivotal moment.

The movie did convince me to read the book, because I suspect something was lost in translation to the big screen.
