For a fleeting moment, 16-year old Vincent is on top of the world. He's handsome and smart, a champion swimmer with an adorable girlfriend and a fun-loving best pal. Not to mention a hot older guy that he meets for sex on the sly. But Vincent's secret life can't stay hidden for long. When he flirts with an openly gay classmate, he's branded a "fag" and things start to unravel.
French director Fabrice Cazeneuve brings us an assured and thoroughly engrossing drama about the heartache of gay adolescence. But the film moves far beyond the typical "coming out tale," thanks to a delicate script and warm performances from a cast of sexy youngsters and seasoned adults. It's not just a story of Vincent, but a story of the world around him. From the charming befuddlement of his parents and the jealousy of his homophobic brother to the wronged indignation of his girlfriend and the secret terror of a closeted teacher, Cazeneuve gives refreshingly honest voice to all those affected by Vincent's decision. But at the center of this beautiful film is a stand-out performance by Julien Baumgartner as Vincent, whose angst and frustration meld fluidly with buoyant optimism and a randy sex-drive.
With gentle humor, tender love scenes, and plenty of humanity, You'll Get Over It manages to be both honest about teenage sexuality and inspirational - a truly rare combination.
