Possible Worlds , Sydney’s 5th Canadian Film Festival, will showcase two award-winning gay films from Canada next weekend at Dendy Newtown.
Written and directed Adriana Maggs, Grown Up Movie Star is an evocative, often very funny independent drama about sexual awakening and family ties.
Closeted hockey hero Ray – his career in shatters following a drug conviction – returns home to Newfoundland, only to have his wife leave him for another man. Struggling with his attraction to the local P.E. teacher, his tendency to drink and his rebellious teenage girl Ruby, he makes an attempt to keep the family together.
From a richly textured, incredibly honest script, Adriana Maggs weaves a gripping story about a daughter – and a father – coming of age. As the worldly and glamorous 14-year-old Ruby, Tatiana Maslany is mesmerizing – at Sundance this year she won a special jury prize for her breakthrough performance.
