Trailer and poster for A Kid Like Jake starring Claire Danes and Jim Parsons

April 30, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

IFC Films has debuted the first poster and trailer for director Silas Howard’s upcoming family drama A Kid Like Jake which stars Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Leo James Davis, Octavia Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, Amy Landecker, and Ann Dowd; check them out here…

Brooklyn parents Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are lucky to have a kid like Jake. Their four-year-old is bright, precocious, creative—and just happens to prefer Disney princesses to toy cars and skirts to jeans. Jake’s “gender expansive” behavior—as local preschool director Judy (Octavia Spencer) dubs it—is no big deal to Alex and Greg. Or so it seems, until the process of navigating New York City’s hyper-competitive private school system opens up a parental quagmire: could Jake’s gender nonconformity be just the thing that gives their child an edge in the admissions game? How young is too young to put a label on a child’s identity? Is this just a phase, or is Jake truly transgender? Split in their opinions on how to handle the situation, Alex and Greg find themselves navigating an emotional and ethical minefield with one patch of common ground between them: their fierce desire to do what’s right for Jake. Transparent director Silas Howard helms this timely, honest, emotionally rich look at 21st-century parenting.

A Kid Like Jake is set for release on June 8th.
