What to Watch: Troye Sivan in love, a dance club for the deaf and a Queerty exclusive
Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.Writer/director Jarrod Frieder’s much talked about spec script finally makes the miraculous journey to the big screen.
Troye Sivan stars as Caleb, a teen living with his grandparents (Ellen Burstyn & Louis Gossett, Jr.) in Hollywood, Florida in 2011.
On the eve of his high school graduation, Caleb learns he’s been exposed to HIV. So sets off three months of fear and soul searching as Caleb retests for the virus and confronts his own past traumas rooted in the death of his father and the remarriage of his mother.
Caleb also falls for the handsome Estha (Viveik Kalra), a closeted, Indian immigrant dealing with an HIV scare of his own.Empathetic writing by Frieder and a directorial style that evokes both Kevin Smith and John Hughes make Three Months into something we once thought impossible: a very funny comedy about HIV.
