About
Premiering with a perfect 100% fresh critics rating, Autostraddle calls ARISTOTLE & DATNE “First and foremost a work of queer expression, this is the kind of YA cinema kids deserve.” Based on the 2014 book by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aitch Alberto directs a stunning feature debut of a queer coming-of-age story. Resentful at the world, 15-year-old Aristotle Mendoza (Max Pelayo) wants to blend in and be left alone, but the summer he meets free spirit Dante Quintana (Reese Gonzales) at the local swimming pool, everything changes. Dante is everything Ari isn't, and his wanderlust for life and artistic spirit shake something loose in Ari; finally, he has a friend. But Ari soon realizes he can't unsee the world through Dante's eyes. If only he would let go of the secrets he didn't even know he was keeping, and embrace the wonders of the universe.
