The Argentinian family drama “The Sleepwalkers” has a rather fitting title.

Now, Brad Pitt is the latest A-lister to fly into space with “Ad Astra.”

The trailer for “Adam,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, has arrived. “Adam” is a coming-of-age story that deals with themes involving sexual and gender identity. It is also a queer story from the POV of a straight character rather than a queer one. Usually, films handling the queer experience are seen through the eyes of the queer characters themselves. However, “Adam” looks to offer a different perspective which may or may not bode well.
