Synopsis
Get Real (1998) is a British coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Simon Shore. Steven Carter is a model student at a small English secondary school who has been keeping a secret since he can remember. Linda, his neighbor and closest friend, is the only one who knows. Then John Dixon shows up.
Dixon is everything Steven is not: athletic, popular, heading for an Oxbridge career. They don't move in the same world. But Dixon is the one who turned up to Steven's blind-date ad — placed in desperation — and now both of them are caught between who they're supposed to be and what they actually feel. Ben Silverstone and Brad Gorton carry it without a false note between them.
Adapted from Patrick Wilde's stage play, the film handles its subject with more specificity than most 1990s teen dramas — the social mechanics of hiding, the accidental exposure that changes everything. Watch Get Real (1998) online on iFILM.
