Get Real (1998)
Unlike many of his peers, Steven is refreshingly comfortable with his sexual orientation, despite the oppressive and retro social environment of his suburban, upper-middle-class English town. He navigates his way through the usual mix of teenage angst, parental cluelessness, and peer pressures with humor and self-awareness. However, his major challenge lies in finding meaningful connections amidst the temporary thrills of cruising the local park for dates, where encounters tend to be fleeting and unfulfilling.
Steven’s relationship with John unfolds against the backdrop of his strained interactions with his parents and his deep bond with his neighbor and confidante, Linda. While his father remains oblivious to Steven’s struggles with his sexuality, his mother begins to suspect that something is amiss. Linda, meanwhile, provides much-needed support but falls into the trap of being a stereotypical outsider alongside Steven.
