New queer paradigms
Highlights from the 32nd San Francisco International LGBT Film
by David Lamble
Issue: Vol. 38 / No. 25 / 19 June 2008
Tru Loved
This ensemble piece sprinkled with known movement figures (Dave Kopay, Alex Mapa, Bruce Vilanch) tells the story of a high school sophomore blessed with two gay moms and two gay dads, but cursed with a three-year sentence at a bland Southland academy. Tru soon finds herself with two boyfriends: one, a cute but closeted African American quarterback; the other, a blonde Adonis raised by a queer uncle. Stewart Wade keeps the talented cast from sinking to the piece’s camp potential, and provides a diverting 99 minutes with all the right messages. (Castro, 6/21, 25)
