Review: In 'Pageboy,' Elliot Page Oscar-nominated actor reflects on the arc of his career and the persistence of anti-queer attitudes in Hollywood.
Some of us don’t get to have the life we want
chiseling away at LGBTQ+ people’s rights, is many things at once: memoir, yes, but also cultural analysis and civil rights cri de coeur..” Many readers might remember the 2007 film starring Page as a charming account of growing up that explores complex themes such as pregnancy and adulthood. However, the legacy of “Juno” for Page, who at the time was grappling with aspects of his identity, is much more fraught.
“Pageboy” doesn’t focus solely on pain. Some of the book’s most moving parts paint vivid pictures of Page’s touching relationship with his mother, Martha. When he was little, he and his mother would go to Peggy’s Cove, about a 45-minute drive from Halifax. He would climb rocks and pretend to hunt for treasure, and the two would communicate via fake walkie-talkies: “I love you. Over. Click. I love you, too. Over. Click.” Their relationship was far from perfect.
