The reviews are in for Plainclothes following its premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Set in 1990s New York City, the upcoming romantic drama stars Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) as Lucas, a working-class undercover officer who is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself attracted to one of his targets, Andrew (Looking alum Russell Tovey).
Also starring Amy Forsyth, Christian Cooke, Maria Dizzia, John Bedford Lloyd, Gabe Fazio and Sam Asa Brownstein, Plainclothes marks the feature-length directorial debut of Carmen Emmi, who also penned the screenplay.
As of writing, a worldwide release date has yet to be announced, and only a handful of images, along with an exclusive short clip from IndieWire, have been released.
However, several publications that attended Sundance have since published their reviews, with the general consensus being highly positive.
