Storyline

Todd is a hyper-articulate, obsessive compulsive gay twentysomething whose fear of dying alone leads him to a baffling conclusion: he might not be gay after all. When he meets Rory, a whip-smart struggling actress with her own set of insecurities, the two forge a relationship that’s all talk and no sex.

Critics consensus

“Well-acted and sharply written, Straight Up serves as an effervescent calling card for writer/director/star James Sweeney.”

A relevant and resonant rom-com.

RTBoston GlobeMay 6, 2020

[W]atching these two smart people outsmart themselves and each other has its modest yet real pleasures, not to mention an undercurrent of melancholy that makes the laughs stick to the ribs

Richard Whittaker

RTAustin ChronicleApr 27, 2020

A rat-a-tat screwball comedy with a very contemporary edge.

RTNext Best PictureJun 5, 2022

Sweeney’s writing and direction are bold and interesting, while his performance manages to be exceptional as well.
