Marvin is a beautiful and sensitive adaptation of an autobiographical novel by Edouard Louis, ‘Reinventing Marvin’, which charts the difficult coming of age and coming out of a young gay man in a rural village in the Vosges. The film, directed by Anne Fontaine, charts the journey of a teenage gay man, bullied at school and abused at home, who is able to become a confident, creative artist by using his own story to create art that is cathartic, inspiring and transforming. The performances of both Jules Porier and Finnegan Oldfield are outstanding as portrayals of Marvin at different stages of development in a film which is both profoundly moving and entertaining<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
