YOU'LL
GET OVER IT
Vincent (newcomer Julien Baumgartner)
is an average high school boy, a good student, and a star swimmer.
With his best friend Stéphane and his beautiful girlfriend
Noémie, high school life couldnt be better for Vincent...
until he meets Benjamin (COME UNDONES Jérémie
Elkaïm). Vincent keeps crossing paths with the new student,
until the two finally have a private moment. The next day, Vincents
idyllic life begins to crumble when the school is vandalized
with graffiti labeling him a fag.
As the people in his life respond to the news, Vincent faces the inherent challenge
of adapting to life as a gay young man. YOULL GET OVER IT takes a direct
and compassionate look at Vincents struggle.
Like EDGE OF SEVENTEEN, YOULL GET OVER IT delves into the universal experiences
of coming out, making it easier for future generations.
Directed by Fabrice Cazeneuve
Synopsis courtesy of Frameline
French with English subtitles

"One of the best portraits of gay teen life on screen. The performances
are first-rate. Baumgartner is excellent. “ You’ll Get Over It” may
tell a familiar story, but it does so very eloquently. Never sentimental or sappy,
this is a life-affirming queer film. Don’t miss it."
Gary M. Kramer, GAY CITY NEWS
"Illuminates the predicament of today's gay teens with compassion and perception.
YOU'LL GET OVER IT expresses a mature, detached understanding of all involved
and resists judging anyone. There's a naturalness to the entire cast, yet there
is considerable depth to the portrayals, and the interplay between the characters
is exceptionally rich and nuanced."
Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
A refreshing take on youthful coming-out!
Dennis Harvey, VARIETY
Julien Baumgartner is a compelling screen presence!
Leah Greenblatt, TIMEOUT NY
"A sensitive and uplifting drama."
Ken Fox, TV GUIDE
"A surprisingly frank and candid story of one teenager’s
coming out."
SF International Lesbian & Gay Film Fest
"Cazeneuve gives a refreshingly
honest voice
to all those affected by Vincent's decision."
Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film
Festival
"With an all-around gorgeous cast, You’ll
Get Over It, is a sexy and unique take on the coming out story."
IMAGE OUT ROCHESTER
"YOU'LL GET OVER IT is a universal and wholly
original tale of our times that will speak to anyone who has ever struggled with
hopes, insecurities, and disappoints on the way to self-determination."
Sensory Perceptions, Portland Gay & Lesbian
Film Festival
"The film couldn't be more honest or compassionate
in depicting the handsome sensitive teenager's coming out story."
