Edge of Seventeen - Sommer der Entscheidung (1999)
Ein 17-jähriger Schüler sieht sich durch die Begegnung mit einem homosexuellen Arbeitskollegen gezwungen, seine sexuelle Identität zu überdenken und sich zu einer gleichgeschlechtlich bestimmten Zukunft zu bekennen. In den 80er-Jahren angesiedelter Film, der sich weitgehend differenziert darum bemüht, die mit dem "Coming out" verbundenen Nöte des Jugendlichen zu vermitteln, ohne Homosexualität zu idealisieren. Hervorragend ist die Wahl der Hintergrundmusik, die die sexuelle Gratwanderung pointiert versinnbildlicht.
