Directed by Joe Mantello, it tells the story a group of gay men who gather for a birthday party in New York City. Theater critic Michael Sommers noted that "Matt Bomer tends to fade in the glare of flashier personalities, but he lends the character a watchful quality as one of those deferential souls who is content to observe others." Bomer's first film in 2018 was Bill Oliver's science fiction film "Jonathan". His role was that of a detective who appears in only one scene of the film. "Jonathan" had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2018.
