Josh O’Connor’s Queer Coming-Of-Age Charmer “Bonus Track” Hits The Right Notes
Brace yourselves, queer cinema fans! The first trailer for Bonus Track, the highly anticipated queer coming-of-age film written by Challengers star Josh O’Connor, has dropped.
A Heartwarming Tale of Self-Discovery
Move over Heartstopper, there’s a new queer coming-of-age romance in town. Bonus Track follows George (played by Joe Anders from 1917) as a budding musician navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescence. As he grapples with the age-old dilemma of whether to pursue his passion for music or conform to societal expectations, a curveball is thrown his way in the form of Max (Samuel Small from So Awkward).
George, determined to prove his worth, finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the charismatic Max. The official synopsis goes: “All socially awkward George cares about is music. When the charismatic Max joins his school, George realises that he’s the key to writing the perfect song. But George realises maybe the real prize isn’t winning the talent show… it’s Max.”
The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s narrative. We see George being questioned by his parents about “failing everything” except music, and we witness the blossoming friendship (and perhaps more) between George and Max as they collaborate on a project, presumably for the school talent show..
