Beautiful Thing

This feelgood gem of a film still shines as bright as it did when it first hit the screens in 1996.  Shy Jamie (Glen Berry) and athletic Ste (Scott Neal) are teen boys who live near each other in the London projects. Both boys think they could be gay, and finally explore their feelings when Ste is allowed to stay over at Jamie's place after an incident with his abusive father. There, the boys grow close and open themselves up to accept who they are, while Jamie's no-nonsense and caring mother, Sandra (Linda Henry), and their Mamas and the Papas obsessed neighbor, Leah (Tameka Empson), offer much needed emotional support. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll leave the cinema with a heart full of joy and hope.
Screening on 35mm!
