The Choral
Movie • 2025
ReportSynopsis
Set in Ramsden, Yorkshire in 1916, the plot centers on the chorus master and most of the men of the ambitious local Choral Society, who have volunteered for the front. Under the direction of the demanding, driven Dr. Guthrie, the Choral recruits a crop of teenage boys and girls. Together they discover the joys of singing and the urgency of desire as the new boys come to terms with their imminent conscription into the army.

Perhaps not strictly pedophilia, but could be triggering: a barely 18-year-old boy has sex with a much older sex worker who has known him since birth. He requests the encounter and she gently tries to discourage him, but then consents to sleeping with him (he wants the chance to experience sex before he leaves for war a few days later)

Not on screen but a minor character has a eye patch due to a war injury and later characters wear bandages in a play denoting further war wounds.

Bird shooting. Not sure we see any actually die but we definitely hear shooting and see a dead bird afterwards.

One character is pressured/coerced into giving a handjob - this scene happens on-screen, but the characters are only shown fully clothed from the chest up - and another character exposes himself to the woman he is dating (who very explicitly doesn't wish to do anything sexual with him yet for religious reasons)

Not technically, and not on-screen, but the background theme of the film is boys being sent to war as soon as they turn 18. There are discussion of characters who have lost their sons (of unspecified age)

No transphobia in the film itself, but the lead actor is Ralph Fiennes, who is a JKR apologist.

18 year old boy sleeps with a much older sex worker (off-screen, but we see the aftermath) - she also makes a comment suggesting she's known him since he was born.
There's also some slight creepiness from a much older man to a younger woman while telling her how talented she is and offering to help her become a great singer

The chorale being performed has a religious plot involving angels and heaven. A couple of different religions are mentioned. One character is in the Salvation Army and her beliefs are discussed a few times, usually derisively.

There is a scene where the young men get their army medical. The characters' lower bodies are always shielded from the viewer by a towel, but in-scene they have to open their towels to allow an officer to inspect their body, and specifically their genitals for veneral disease

As well as the sadness of many young men going off to war, a gay character is arrested for being a conscientious objector, seemingly before he could do/say what he wanted to the other gay character when they're saying goodbye
