Close to You

Close to You (2024) is Dominic Savage's quiet drama you can watch online on iFILM. Elliot Page plays Sam, a trans man heading back to his hometown for the first time in years — to his father's birthday, an event he half-dreads.

The trip cracks him open. On the train he runs into Katherine (Hillary Baack), the girl he loved before his transition, and the old spark is still there. At the family table, relatives swing between warmth and clumsy remarks, every conversation teetering between tenderness and old hurt. Savage shot the film largely through improvisation, so the dialogue lands like something overheard rather than scripted.

This is Page's first leading role since coming out, and it's strikingly personal — the camera stays close on faces and lets silence carry the weight. If you go for small, character-driven indie films about self-acceptance and messy family love, this one is for you. Stream Close to You (2024) online on iFILM.
