Exclusive: Check out the UK poster for acclaimed new gay film Beach Rats

Beach Rats

is a new gay film that’s got everyone talking, and we’ve got a brand new official poster to get you excited.

The film, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, tells the story of Frankie, a young guy struggling to escape his Brooklyn home life while balancing his time with a new girlfriend (Madeline Weinstein), and chatting with older men on the internet.

The new UK poster gives us a glimpse of some of the several hunks we’ll be seeing throughout the movie, and we can’t wait anymore!

Sadly, the acclaimed film won’t be out until November 24. But in the meantime, you can watch three clips from the movie or read young British actor Harris Dickinson’s interview about his starring role in the eagerly-anticipated gay drama in our October issue.

Discussing the pressure his closeted character faces, 21-year-old Harris explains: “It comes from expectations created around him.

“Frankie’s assimilated this idea of masculinity from all his friends, and strikes up a heterosexual relationship because that’s the ‘right thing to do’ in society.”

Londoner Harris, who started performing at a young age after attending the Raw Talent Academy, adds that the complexity of Frankie’s internal struggle in Beach Rats first attracted him to the role.

“There has to be a predicament they have to overcome because it allows you to dive into something that is unresolved, something very interesting.

“With Beach Rats, it was apparent how much pressure is involved in the character of Frankie and how much toxicity builds inside himself as a result of repressing his inner identity and sexuality.

“That was something intriguing and tragic to try to portray.”
