Trudie Styler (yes, Mrs. Sting) directed this outrageous comedy based on the acclaimed novel by former club kid James St. James. Featuring a script adapted by PJ Clifton and Beth Rigazio, Freak Show follows the misadventures of Billy, a queer, gender fluid small town kid who’s coming out sends shockwaves through the community. Featuring hilarious turns by Oscar-nominee Abigail Breslin, AnaSophia Robb, Alex Lawther and a scene-stealing performance from queer icon Bette Midler, Freak Show brings technical polish and irreverent humor to this coming-of-age story. Laverne Cox and John McEnroe also have cameos. [Queerty]
