PFLAG shows film exploring trans themes

PFLAG Skagit proudly presents the film “Close to You,” screening at the Lincoln Theatre at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16. Admission is free; please consider a donation at the door.

“Close to You” stars Academy Award nominee Elliot Page (“Juno,” “The Umbrella Academy,” “Inception”) as a trans man who returns to his hometown for the first time in years.

On his journey, Page’s character confronts his relationship with his family, reunites with a first love, and discovers a newfound confidence in himself.

“It soars on waves of raw feeling thanks to the deeply felt, deeply moving performance of Elliot Page in a role he wears like a second skin,” ABC News film critic Peter Travers said.

“Close to You” is rated R.
