## Summary

Jordan Firstman’s debut film *Club Kid* follows Peter Green, a struggling New York club promoter who discovers he has a ten-year-old son, Arlo, and must adjust to fatherhood. The review praises the film as a funny, intimate family drama that explores responsibility, grief and self-discovery within New York’s queer underground.

Shot on 35mm, the film moves between the city’s club scene and Peter’s changing home life. His drug problems and professional rift with business partner Sophie leave him especially vulnerable when Arlo arrives after his mother’s death; the review highlights the naturalistic performances by Firstman and Reggie Absolom, alongside the film’s fluid camerawork and lively supporting cast. *Club Kid* receives a limited theatrical release on 6 November.
