Beautiful Thing (15)

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Brentwood Mind to bring a series of inclusive LGBTQIA+ films for everyone. Come along and enjoy seeing queer stories told on screen. Discussion and support from Mind staff and volunteers will follow the screening for anyone who would like it.

Shy Jamie (Glen Berry) and athletic Ste (Scott Neal) are teen boys who live near each other in the London projects. Both boys think they could be gay, and finally explore their feelings when Ste is allowed to stay over at Jamie’s place after an incident with his abusive father. There, the boys grow close and open themselves up to the idea of homosexuality, while Jamie’s caring mother, Sandra (Linda Henry), and quirky teen neighbor, Leah (Tameka Empson), offer much needed emotional support.
