In Me an Invincible Summer

December 1, 2014

Forty-four-year-old action star Joe Nestra survives in the film industry by concealing his sexual orientation. When a knee injury sidelines Joe, he accepts a role in an indie film before realizing he will be playing a gay man with AIDS in the early days of the epidemic. In taking the first tentative steps to finding happiness, Joe discovers the hardest step is being honest with himself. VERDICT Loveless covers everything from living closeted and gay marriage to the ongoing AIDS crisis without being banal. [LJ Xpress Reviews, 10/24/14.]--Melanie C. Duncan, Shurling Lib., Macon, GA
