In & Out

Directed by Frank Oz

After a former student's remark at the Academy Awards, a midwestern teacher embarks on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, questioning his sexuality and navigating societal expectations.
In & Out is broad Hollywood farce, but Kevin Kline’s warmth and impeccable comic timing keep it enormously watchable. The film occasionally relies on stereotypes, yet its mainstream celebration of a gay protagonist was significant in 1997, and Joan Cusack and Tom Selleck add memorable comic support.
