Of an Age

AroView: A stunning romantic drama that just happens to be an Australian LGBT one set in the summer of 1999.

It’s an impeccably scripted and directed tale of a 17-year-old Serbian-born amateur ballroom dancer who experiences an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with his friend’s older brother. Elias Anton and Thom Green are both heart-breakingly good in their roles, matched by Hattie Hook as a hilariously self-obsessed wild child.

“A profoundly moving film about the beauty and the horror of what it means to be seen for the first time, to love for the first time, and how the past and future are constantly informing each other.” ~Katie Walsh, The Seattle Times

“A modern queer classic… In other hands, Of an Age could have been gimmicky or indulgent but [director] Stolevski imbues his characters with such lived-in specificity that we can’t help but be swept away.” ~Michael Sun, The Guardian
