Geography Club is a beautiful tale of teenage romance, discovery, insecurity and hope. Russel, our main character, undergoes quite a bit of development as he navigates the path to acceptance of his sexual orientation. Like any good story, he hits a few bumps along the way, making a few mistakes for which he ultimately redeems himself. There is not a large variety of LGBT films and literature, so to see a piece of work with such diversity was very refreshing. I also enjoyed the fact that the film explored some of the myriad of issues individuals face with coming out, and the effects of a choice to remain 'in the closet'. Overall, this is a great film, one of the best Gay/Lesbian movies I have ever seen, and I highly recommend it.
