Gender Reveal (film)

Gender Reveal is a 2024 American comedy film directed by Brian Jordan Alvarez. Alvarez also wrote the screenplay and stars in the film alongside Dylan Gelula, Becca Blackwell, Jamie Loftus, River Butcher, and Marcia Gay Harden.

The film follows a pregnant lesbian couple, Bailey (Gelula) and Jules (Blackwell), who reluctantly agree to have a gender reveal party at the insistence of Jules' flamboyant and eccentric mother, Gail (Harden). The party is thrown at a winery owned by Bailey's estranged mother, played by Loftus, causing further complications. The film explores themes of family dynamics, identity, and the pressures of modern social expectations surrounding pregnancy and parenthood, all within the context of a comedic narrative. The humor derives from the clashing personalities and perspectives of the characters as they navigate the complexities of their relationships and the event itself.
