Consenting Adults
Fifty years ago, a Home Office committee chaired by Wolfenden, then vice-chancellor of Reading University, recommended the decriminalization of homosexuality. But behind the scenes of what was to become a turning point in British social history, there was an even more extraordinary story. Jack's son Jeremy, then a brilliant undergraduate at Oxford, was himself gay, something his father could not bring himself to acknowledge.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a powerful tension between public progress and private denial, exploring the chasm that can exist between law, morality, and familial love. It relies on restrained yet potent performances to lay bare the cost of silence.
What lingers after the credits is a profound meditation on how social change is often forged by those unwilling to face it at their own hearth. A sobering reminder that history moves through imperfect human vessels. — MovieFinder Editorial
