Straight

About This Movie

Straight is this wild ride through the absurdities of conversion therapy, and it’s hard to look away. Director Jeff Meyers captures a bizarre world where the straight agenda meets unabashed humor, all led by David Schmader’s sharp wit. Schmader, as a gay man, really digs into the uncomfortable, making the whole thing feel both provocative and oddly comical. The pacing is brisk but not rushed; you get a sense of the ridiculousness without it feeling exhausting. The performances are raw and unapologetic, which adds to the film's subversive charm. It’s not just about laughs; it’s also a critique of societal norms wrapped in an outrageous premise, making it a distinctive piece in the comedy genre.
