Freak Show

Flamboyantly gay teen Billy Bloom (Alex Lawther) reluctantly gave up life with his loose-cannon mom (Bette Midler) for the rock-ribbed conservative community where his dad (Larry Pine) lived. With most of the kids at his new high school shunning him from the get, he had only one recourse: challenge the class's alpha mean girl (Abigail Breslin) for homecoming queen! Engaging dramedy adapted from the James St. James YA novel co-stars AnnaSophia Robb, Laverne Cox, Celia Weston, Mickey Sumner. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
