Sundance 2023: “Shortcomings” Tries To Explore Desirability Politics But Falls Short

Mareid Sullivan's book Lesbian Death is purple and features the words: “That I find it so anxiety-producing to create a project on the lesbian is precisely why I have written this book. I have written this book because I am not a lesbian. I have written this book because associating my work with lesbian makes me endlessly nervous. I have written this book because I find so much richness in lesbian histories and lesbian culture. I have written this book because I have spent endless hours in archives of lesbian activists, and I have loved every minute. I have written this book because lesbians have saved me, gave me a home, gave me language, showed me a future. I have also written this book because lesbian has been weaponized, used to instigate, justify, and perpetuate anti-trans violence and vitriol. I have written this book because I want the generations that worry that lesbian has been or is being forgotten to know that we remember. I have written this book because I feel myself holding on to the political and identitarian commitments that served me but no longer serve my students. I have written this book because I feel scared to be branded as a lesbian scholar (rather than a scholar of the lesbian). I have written this book because I cannot let lesbian go. Mostly, I have written this book because I really do love lesbians.”

“Poker Face” Is a Delightfully Absurdist Murder Show With the Best Guest Stars

Natasha Lyonne stars as Charlie, a woman on the run who has an innate ability to know when someone’s lying, which comes in handy when she’s called upon to solve a string of cross-country murders.
