Closets

About This Movie

So, 'Closets' is an interesting mix of drama and fantasy set across two very different decades. It explores heavy themes like identity and abuse through the lens of a troubled teenager, Henry. The emotional weight is palpable, especially in those closet scenes that capture his despair. When he time-travels to meet Ben in 2016, the film shifts into this almost surreal territory, making you reflect on how far society has come. The practical effects used for the time travel are simple but effective, adding to that raw feel of the narrative. The performances are earnest and resonate well, especially when you see the contrast between Henry's struggles and Ben's life. It’s a unique take on the coming-of-age genre, for sure.

Time travel element adds a unique twist.Explores LGBTQ+ themes in a raw manner.Contrast between 1986 and 2016 is striking.
