Equality for all! What is unique about The Wise Kids, is that the complex characters and nuanced performances effectively keep the viewer in many shades of gray. Winner of the Outfest Jury Award for Best US Dramatic Feature and Best Screenwriting, in addition to the Newfest Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature, this film takes repression, denial, confliction and discovery to a thought-provoking new level.
