Your Questions About Tig Notaro in “Army Of The Dead,” Answered

Everything you need to know about the heartthrob helicopter hunk (!!!) played by Tig Notaro in Zack Snyder’s zombie-heist mashup movie, Army of the Dead.

Shiva Baby Wasn’t My Queer Story — and That’s Totally Fine

“I know and love many Danielle-esque people — but she is not me. Instead, she is the projection many people have of me solely based on my identity.”

The Mitchells vs. The Machines: Abbi Jacobson Is The Queer All-Ages Hero We’ve Been Waiting For

The Mitchells vs. The Machines is genuinely hilarious and actually for really real gay.

“The Retreat” Is a New Kind of Lesbian Horror, Full of Catharsis and Dykey Swagger

Despite the real-life horrors queer women face, horror cinema has largely shown queer women as predators. The Retreat attempts to change that.

This poster reads, "The Future of Comedy is Female. An FX Original Documentary. Hysterical." It features illustrations of well-known female comedians against a teal background.
Movie Reviews

“Hysterical” Focuses Almost Exclusively on Cis White Women in Comedy, and Misses the Mark

Hysterical operates under the assumption that the experiences of women in comedy are universal. But in a documentary that overwhelmingly features white cis women, there’s little room left to explore what comedy is like for women who hold multiple marginalized identities.

Together Together review: Patti Harrison and Ed Helms in a nursery
Movie Reviews

“Together Together” Review: Patti Harrison Can Do Anything — Even Give Birth

Ultimately, the film shows that the differences between cis people and trans people aren’t as vast as we usually think. There are many ways to make a family and the more expansive our imaginations the more everyone will benefit.

“Deadly Illusions” is a Homoerotic Girl-Meets-Nanny Thriller That Will Leave You Asking “What”

Netflix’s “Deadly Illusions” is the worst best most bananas homoerotic thriller currently begging for your attention and if you are gay and hate yourself, you should answer its siren song.

Moxie Review: Netflix’s Teen Feminist Revolution Falls Short

Moxie aims for riot grrrl rage and zine-ready radical politics but falls short, coming off more like a glossy mag for girl power that’s only loosely intersectional.

Movie Reviews

“Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar” Is a Bananapants Brain Vacation and You Deserve It

It’s like spending 90 minutes inside a fever dream a Kristin Wiig ’80s sketch character might have if she got high inside some kind of Mars Cheese Castle/Dylan’s Candy Bar co-op. And I loved it.

The Drop: “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” Is Big on Trauma, Slight on Queerness

“I fully understand they have to paint a picture of the times, and deep racial trauma and pain were a part of those times, but I found myself wondering why we need another gut-wrenching Black story on film.”

“I Care A Lot” Review: Rosamund Pike Plays a Gay Grifter in This Relentlessly Cruel Thriller

If you don’t like to watch movies about horrible people doing horrible things, you’ll probably want to skip J Blakeson’s I Care A Lot. If you, like me, are a zealous fan of the small but growing canon of lesbian heist movies, you might have fun with this cynical, clinical movie steeped in the horrors of capitalism and greed.

“Water Lilies” Is a Memory of Gay Adolescence

It’s impossible to forget a feeling like sitting on the bleachers watching Floriane swim. It’s impossible to forget the drowning.

Movie Reviews

“Two Of Us” Review: France’s Oscar Entry Is an Elder Lesbian Romantic Thriller

The visual and narrative tension, of course, ramps up the eroticism, but so does Madeline and Nina’s actual relationship, which hasn’t aged in that calm, quiet, mature way we usually think of lesbian grandmas.

Sundance 2021: “The World to Come” Is an Extraordinary Lesbian Romance Ruined By Casey Affleck

The cinematography, the sound design, the direction of the actors — it all culminates in a remarkable cinematic experience. And yet every time Affleck was on-screen, I felt chilled.

Sundance 2021: “My Name Is Pauli Murray” Shines Brightest When Pauli Murray Takes the Lead

Pauli Murray was unspeakably brilliant, and their warmth is best captured on their own terms. With over 141 boxes of writings, 800 photographs, and dozens of tapes — the documentary “My Name Is Pauli Murray” shines brightest when it lets Murray take the reigns.

“The Truth About Jane” Is Dated as Heck, and That’s a Very Good Thing

The dialogue isn’t exactly elegant — though there is one deeply quotable moment when Jane’s lesbian teacher asks her what’s wrong and Jane says, “I’m gay and everyone hates me!!!!!!”

Movie Reviews

Sundance 2021: “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” Is a Horrifying Trans Vlogging Experience

That’s what’s so special about watching a film from a trans filmmaker this audacious and experimental. It doesn’t have to engage with transness in the expected ways to resonate with a trans audience.
