Proud (Polish Series)

Review Proud (Polish Series)

Originally premiering on HBO Max, this is honestly one of the most distinctive queer stories out there, centered on those particular points in life when you have no choice but to grow up quickly, when discipline, tenderness, and genuine sacrifice become non negotiable. It’s a deeply moving portrayal of accidental gay parenthood, following a hard…

Al Mar (Spanish) [The Sea]

Review Al Mar (Spanish) [The Sea]

This movie was simply weird. I went in really wanting to like it, but the pretentious, overly poetic atmosphere, along with the choppy editing that jumps back and forth in little five- to ten-second bursts, made the whole thing feel stretched out for absolutely no reason. It was way too self-indulgent, if you ask me….

Horizon: Being Transgender (UK) (Documentary)

Review Horizon: Being Transgender (UK) (Documentary)

This is basically a documentary about what being transgender means, what transition really involves, and how medicine can help people get there. Rather than focusing on a single person, it follows several people at very different points in their journeys. Honestly, that was a smart choice. The whole thing runs for about an hour. Charlotte…

Salut Victor! (Canadian French) [Bye Bye Victor]

Review Salut Victor! (Canadian French) [Bye Bye Victor]

There haven’t been many films about aging gay men, so it’s always nice to see one that tries to tackle the subject in some capacity. This film is less about love and more about what can happen to certain gay men in the prime of their lives when their families no longer want them and…

Gaycation: Season 2

Review Gaycation: Season 2

If you watched and loved Season 1 of Gaycation, Season 2 carries on from exactly where it left off, with that same mix of travel series and proper documentary that made the first season feel so real. Elliot Page and Ian Daniel return, this time heading to Ukraine, India, France, and the Deep South in…

Twinless

Review Twinless

I put this one off for ages, and honestly, I’m not even sure why. I’d somehow talked myself into thinking it probably wouldn’t connect with my LGBTQ world, but wow, was I wrong. This film totally blindsided me. It’s a smart dark comedy that manages to be properly funny and seriously heavy at exactly the…

Koi Naam Na Do (Hindi Series) [Don\’t Give It A Name]

Review Koi Naam Na Do (Hindi Series) [Don\’t Give It A Name]

This Indian series is marketed as the story of a gay man falling for his straight best friend, but honestly, underneath that, it’s really about friendship—and what happens when friendship becomes complicated, messy, and emotionally charged. You can watch it on Last Leaf Pictures’ YouTube channel; it has seven episodes, each around 30 minutes long….

Tidy Endings

Review Tidy Endings

Released in 1988, this was apparently HBO’s first-ever gay themed TV film. It was adapted from a play, and you can tell almost immediately, since nearly all of it unfolds in an apartment with two people talking through their grief and arguing over whether that grief belongs equally to both of them.The story begins after…

Venus\’s Groom (Thai Mini-Series)

Review Venus\’s Groom (Thai Mini-Series)

This Thai mini series is bad and packed with red flags that make you question so many of the protagonists’ motives, and yet somehow, you still wanna keep watching until the end. It is only 10 episodes, 10 minutes each, but it should come with multiple trigger warnings. I thought we had moved past the…

Touch Me

Review Touch Me

This is a difficult one to pin down, and honestly, that’s both its greatest ambition and its biggest flaw. It’s a wildly eccentric psychosexual comedy attempting to invent an entirely new genre, and I truly can’t think of anything else quite like it. But wanting to be audacious and successfully being audacious are two very…

Tesis sobre una domesticación (Spanish) [Thesis on a Domestication]

Review Tesis sobre una domesticación (Spanish) [Thesis on a Domestication]

Honestly, this was such a refreshing film. Rather than leaning into the familiar trans victimhood narrative, it goes somewhere much more nuanced and compelling. It unapologetically allows its trans protagonist to inhabit two spaces usually treated as incompatible for trans characters. She pursues her sexual fantasies while also attempting to create the kind of family…

Single, Out: Season 4 (Australia) (Web Series)

Single, Out: Season 4 (Australia) (Web Series)

With the release of Season 4, Single Out enters its final stretch, consisting of 8 episodes that clock in at roughly 20 minutes each to conclude the narrative for Adam and his circle. Although I was nearly prepared to move on following season three, the creators clearly felt the need for one final chapter to...

Queerpanorama

The plot of this indie art film centers on a young gay man navigating a series of sexual encounters throughout Hong Kong. Rather than focusing on the sex, the interest lies in the surrounding context: the long, wandering dialogues between him and his partners that range from occasionally clichéd to quite profound, touching on life...
For They Know Not What They Do (Documentary)

For They Know Not What They Do (Documentary)

At its core, this documentary is about the American religious right’s aggressive opposition to the LGBTQ community and the harm that causes families caught between their faith and the love they feel for their own children. The film takes a gentle, patient approach, clearly hoping to convince people with conservative religious beliefs that there is...

I MISS YOU by Rodrigo Bellott: disappearance and healing

Review of Rodrigo Bellott’s film I Miss You. A drama inspired by a true story about persistent homophobia in Bolivia. In this sensitive and raw feature film, Bolivian director Rodrigo Bellott adapts a play that caused quite a stir in Bolivia and was itself drawn from a true story. I…
The Graffiti Artist

The Graffiti Artist

The purpose of this film remains unclear to me. It is a moody drama with gay undertones, following two drifters without roots who attempt to communicate through graffiti on objects and walls throughout the Pacific Northwest. With total dialogue lasting only 15 minutes, you could fast forward the entire movie and not miss a single...
