Sex (Norwegian)

Review Sex (Norwegian)

In this film aptly named ‘Sex’, the narrative takes place in contemporary urban Norway. With some clever wordplay, it pushes back against traditional ideas of masculinity and societal expectations, no matter if the characters see themselves as straight or gay. Honestly, I think this film would’ve worked better as a stage play. It’s loaded with…

The Paradise of Thorns

Review The Paradise of Thorns

Honestly, I had zero expectations for the film since I didn’t know much about it. Given the landscape of Asian, especially Thai, BL series, I try to keep my hopes in check. Thankfully, this film turned out to be a delightful surprise. It tackles a topic that many films shy away from: What exactly are…

Maschile Plurale (Italian) [Mascarpone: The Rainbow Cake]

Review Maschile Plurale (Italian) [Mascarpone: The Rainbow Cake]

This film is the follow-up to 2021’s Mascarpone, which I really enjoyed, so my expectations for the sequel were quite high. To recap, in the original, Antonio breaks up with his husband and moves in with a sex worker named Denis. Denis helps him land a job as an apprentice baker with Luca, leading to…

Transgender people with autism suffer poor healthcare and high rates of self-harm

Review Transgender people with autism suffer poor healthcare and high rates of self-harm

The initial extensive investigation into the experiences of transgender individuals on the autism spectrum reveals that they tend to face persistent mental and physical health issues, with notably high instances of self-harming behaviors, as indicated by findings from the Autism Research Center at Cambridge University. According to the researchers, these individuals also indicate that the…

Let’s Eat Together, Aki and Haru: More Please (Japanese)

Review Let’s Eat Together, Aki and Haru: More Please (Japanese)

So, the sequel to the original movie about Aki and Haru, which had everyone buzzing with excitement, is finally here. I was really hoping that after exploring friendship in the first film, this one would dive deeper into the blossoming romance and the feelings these two boys have for each other. But, man, it happens…

The On1y One (Taiwanese Series)

Review The On1y One (Taiwanese Series)

I’ve got really mixed emotions about this series. I get the art of subtlety and letting things unfold slowly, but I expected a bit more from a Taiwanese production. If it had been a Chinese show, I’d understand the legal constraints, but let’s be real—Taiwan has produced more straightforward BL series. Here, almost everything is…

I MISS YOU by Rodrigo Bellott: disappearance and healing

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…
Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku (Indonesian) [Memories of My Body]

Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku (Indonesian) [Memories of My Body]

I found this film almost magnetic in a way I couldn’t fully explain. Some films have that rare quality where every frame feels worth taking in—the people, the settings, the movement—and this one completely has it. It’s a fictionalised retelling of real moments from the life of dancer and choreographer Rianto, who performs the Lengger...
Wrestling With Love (Vertical BL Drama)

Wrestling With Love (Vertical BL Drama)

This vertical drama leans heavily into every available gay vertical BL stereotype, bundling them all together for the viewer. Between the standard friends-to-lovers trope, the unhinged girlfriend of the supposedly straight lead, and an abundance of family drama, the formula is well-worn. While the typical mafia subplot is absent this time, you know exactly what...
Wooju Bakery (Korean Series)

Wooju Bakery (Korean Series)

Right from the opening minute, the show signals that it shouldn’t be taken seriously. This bizarre little sci-fi comedy is a Korean-Thai BL collaboration centered on an alien prince who crash-lands in the middle of a struggling bakery. Like many joint productions, it seems designed to appeal to audiences in both nations simultaneously. Despite having...

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...
