WERE THE WORLD MINE

Director: THOMAS GUSTAFSON

U.S.A. • 2008 • 95 MIN


Mixing magical realism with wish fulfilment, Were The World Mine truly enchants as a chase for high school same-sex love leads an entire town to turn sexually curious. Our hero timothy happens across a love potion during rehearsals for Shakespeare’s magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream and consequently brings out a little bit of homosexual love in everyone he meets. is the price worth paying and can he win over the school jock’s heart? Will he turn his girlfriend’s boyfriend gay for good and will his mother fall for her ‘Avon Calling’ queen of a boss? this film sparkles with confidence; an inspired musical à la Hedwig with a sweet centre and a subversively queer story at its heart.
