Griffin in Summer is a warm, funny coming-of-age film about artistic ambition, adolescent awkwardness, and the first flicker of same-sex desire. Modest in scale but sharp in observation, it captures a fragile turning point in queer self-awareness with real charm.

Sabar Bonda is a patient Marathi queer drama set in rural India, where grief, family ritual, and hesitant desire gradually open into something quietly moving. Its pace is deliberately slow, but the emotional payoff is gentle, intimate, and deeply humane.
