A Place To Stay

A PLACE TO STAY by Charlie Polinger is a story of a man (Andy) who discovers that his lover (Gordon) is living a double life with a wife and kids. He invites himself over to their house for dinner and what ensues is a tense and taut look at being LGBTQ in 1950s Kansas City. When you think of sexuality, your first thought isn't 1950s Kansas City. Charlie uses the setting well as a backdrop but never let's it overshadow the story he is trying to tell. The film is really well paced and the narrative is gripping. Definite recommend.
