Close To You Review: Elliot Page's Poignant Performance Is Overshadowed By Story Threads That Don't Mesh
Elliot Page delivers an outstanding, nuanced performance as Sam, showcasing wit, vulnerability, and authenticity. The film highlights Sam's relationship with his supportive father, emphasizing his acceptance and support. Close to You struggles with blending two separate narratives, particularly in the lack of believable chemistry with Katherine.
Directed by Dominic Savage, Close to You marks Elliot Pages return to the big screen after a seven-year hiatus and its an incredibly welcome return. Theres simply no understating that fact. A family drama-meets-unrequited-love-story, Close to You offers its star a chance to remind us why Elliot Page is an Oscar-nominated actor, as it allows him to embody all things tough and tender. Theres wit, vulnerability, strength, and a searing authenticity to Pages portrayal of Sam, a trans man who ventures to his hometown for the first time in years.
