Plainclothes Review
‘Plainclothes’ is a Captivating, Taught Thriller About Forbidden Love. Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey give excellent, sensitive performances in the story of a policy officer caught between duty, desire and family in the 1990s. Movies with an LGBTQ+ vantage point, particularly those dealing with characters who struggle with their sexuality, are tough to get right.
There is a tendency towards histrionics or hyper-focusing on certain details. With ‘Plainclothes’, writer-director Carmen Emmi largely delivers.
