‘The Wedding Banquet’ Is the Next Great Queer Romcom

Despite its commitment to the realities of queer Asian American experience, immigrant experience, and lesbian motherhood experience, The Wedding Banquet is less the indie dramedy of the original and more the rare gift of a big queer comedy.

‘Mickey 17’ Has Queer Characters — But Is It Queer?

A bi woman who is pretty much only into women and Robert Pattinson? Yeah, I’ve met many of them!!!

Movie Reviews

French Thriller ‘Eat the Night’ Is Like ‘I Saw the TV Glow’ but About Video Games

The film is a dreamy yarn, a queer coming-of-age story illuminated by the soft, lulling LED of a computer screen.

‘Lesbian Space Princess’ Is Exactly As Gay and Fun As It Sounds

Lesbian Space Princess is an animated comedy (for adults) about a shy princess with zero self-confidence who has to go on a journey across space to try to save her ex-girlfriend.

Is ‘One of Them Days’ Lowkey Queer?

I don’t know about you, but a cis man wasting my time and money certainly had me rethinking my dating dynamics.

Movie Reviews

Looking For a Third? ‘You, Me, and Her’ Is a Movie for You

Unfortunately, like many couples on dating apps, the movie is held back by its own timidity, a desire to reinforce the conventions it’s pushing against.

Sundance 2025: ‘Rains Over Babel’ Is Queer Cinema That’s Wholesome and Transgressive

This has been a terrible week to be trans in the U.S. and I’m so grateful I could take a break and spend a couple hours in Gala del Sol’s fantastical world.

Movie Reviews

Sundance 2025: ‘Come See Me in the Good Light’ Is More Than Andrea Gibson’s Cancer Story — It’s Their Love Story

This film isn’t a straight-forward artist portrait. It’s a portrait of Gibson and their partner, fellow poet Megan Falley, as they navigate Gibson’s incurable cancer diagnosis. It’s a tender look at two queer people in love and a celebration of the desire to live.

Sundance 2025: ‘Sauna’ Tells a New Trans Story the Same Old Way

It’s technically true that I cannot think of another feature film about a cis gay man grappling with his feelings about dating a trans man for the first time. So why does Mathias Broe’s Sauna feel so dated and predictable?

Sundance 2025: ‘Jimpa’ Should Have Embraced Its Straight Protagonist

If someone watching this film had never met a queer person, they’d assume “dancing in slow motion” was what we were all about.

‘Emilia Pérez’ Is the Most Unique Cis Nonsense You’ll Ever See

There are many bad movies made by cis writers and directors about trans women. But you’ve never seen a bad movie about a trans woman like Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez.
