review: close to you

Close to You is an intimate, raw exploration of identity and family, led by Elliot Page in a deeply personal performance. As Sam, a trans man returning home after years away, Page navigates emotional complexities and unresolved traumas with quiet strength. Director Dominic Savage’s improvisational style adds authenticity, while the film’s portrayal of trans experiences—normalizing top surgery scars and centering trans narratives—is groundbreaking.
