Film
“Olivia” Is One of the Best Lesbian Films of All Time and Now You Can Finally See It
This is a movie about queer women for queer women. It’s about the way we hurt and the way we hurt each other.
“Better Than Chocolate” Turns 20, Remains the Only Movie Where a Trans Woman Has a Lesbian Friend Group
“My favorite moment in the movie happens during the climax when one of the skinheads punches Judy. She punches him back. He calls her a dyke. And she says thank you.”
Thirsty Classics: “Walk on the Wild Side” Has One Mean Lesbian (and Jane Fonda)
If only these women had allowed themselves to consummate their love for each other.
10 Coming-of-Age Lesbian or Bisexual Movies, Ranked
Join the team as we weigh in on ten classic coming-of-age lesbian films, from Pariah to Cameron Post to that one about the ravens!
Thirsty Classics: “Vampyros Lesbos” Invites Us Into the Male Gaze
Vampyros Lesbos is not my fantasy. But it is a fantasy. And, while this fills me some guilt, I do, in fact, enjoy it.
Outfest 2019: The Future of Queer Cinema Is Trans
I’ve lamented that I’m never going to see my stories on screen until I make it happen for myself. Never have I felt that to be less true. There are so many of us out there making work for ourselves, and each other.
Outfest 2019: “Good Kisser” Is a Threesome Farce That’s Afraid to Be Fun
While the larger conflicts may fall flat, the dramatic minutia when the threesome is going well is really enjoyable to watch.
Thirsty Classics: “Rebecca” Is Hot Even in Death
It’s rarely suggested that Rebecca was in love with Danvers too. But she was. That’s what I’m suggesting.
Outfest 2019: “The Daughters of Fire” Isn’t Afraid of Queer Sex or Female Desire
Just because you leave the movie feeling emotionally fulfilled and intellectually challenged, doesn’t mean it’s any less erotic.
Outfest 2019: “Second Star on the Right” is a Bisexual Mess in All the Best Ways
The film goes beyond mere representational milestones. It’s beautiful, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious, it has two whole musical numbers, three whole Britney Spears references, and is just bursting with queer creativity!
Outfest 2019: “Jules of Light and Dark” Gets Lost in Its Own Complexity
This is a movie about lonely queers. And it’s a movie about queers who sometimes make baffling choices.
Outfest 2019: “Bit” Is a Trans Teen Vampire Romp About Lesbian Separatism
Anyone who watches Supergirl knows just how talented Nicole Maines is and she carries this movie with ease. She’s so casually present on screen and she absolutely kills a one-liner.
20 Lesbian and Bisexual Comedy Movies, Ranked
Our team weighs in on some of the funniest and least funny love and friendship stories in lesbian cinematic history, from Saving Face to Life Partners and so many more!
Thirsty Classics: “Je Tu Il Elle” Shows That Sad Gays Are Horny Too
I have absolutely no idea if Chantal Akerman would be delighted or horrified that I’ve written about her 1974 film in a way that, if successful, will lead you to 1) seek out the mental healthcare that you need, and 2) masturbate.
Outfest 2019: Michelle Hendley is a F*cking Star in “The More Things Change”
Instead of counting down the days to see if we get three lines on The L Word reboot, we should be counting down the days until Simone gets to turn this short into a full-season show.
Thirsty Classics: “Manji” Is the Most
My favorite type of queer cinema classic is the kind that constantly begs the question: Is this real? Is this a real movie? Is this a real movie made in (insert year)?
21 Lesbian and Bisexual Movies Based on a True Story, Ranked
From Lizzie to Frida to Battle of the Sexes to The Favourite, our team weighs in on 21 queer films that are based on true stories.
Thirsty Classics: “The Uninvited” Has Subtext! Lesbian Subtext!
“For those keeping score, this movie with no lesbians now has four lesbians. Two living, two dead. And now enters the fifth non-lesbian lesbian, the dykiest of the them all: Miss Holloway.”
Thirsty Classics: “The Children’s Hour” Is All About Shirley MacLaine’s Hair
“Shirley daydreams about their first meeting. “I remember thinking, What a pretty girl.” Later, Audrey kisses her cheek and Mary’s eyes widen. Mine do too.”
