Movie Review: The Wise Kids

The New York Times describes The Wise Kids, as “a guileless exploration of the growing pains of sheltered innocents whose reticence and sincerity evoke 1950s small-town values.”

The movie tells the story of a group of earnest Christian teenagers associated with a Baptist church in Charleston, S.C. and their struggles as they grow in their understanding of their awakening sexuality and as they face conflicts with their faith.

According to The Times, “To call ‘The Wise Kids’ a Christian movie or a gay movie, or even a gay Christian movie, would be to force a label on this touching, low-key drama with no axes to grind.”

The Wise Kids is available on Netflix.

The film has also been released on DVD and can be purchased from Amazon.
