HENRY GAMBLE’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Thursday, May 5 at 7:30 pm
$10 Members | $15 Public – Includes Reception
An exquisite coming-of-age movie with a remarkable cast that unfolds over the course of one very eventful day in the life of a 17-year-old son of a preacher
At Henry’s afternoon birthday pool party the guests include an assortment of grown-ups from the family church, as well as Henry’s secular and religious teen friends — including the closeted young Logan, who clearly has eyes for Henry. As Henry treads through various sexual possibilities, seeking to come into his own, so too do the adults and teenagers of the party, all struggling to navigate the public and private, and their longing, despite themselves and their faith, for earthly love. (USA, 2015, 87 min., Unrated, DCP | Dir. Stephen Cone)
