Eileen: Anne Hathaway in a blonde wig purses her lips and looks toward the camera.
Movie Reviews

“Eileen” Doesn’t Deserve To Be Called “Carol for Psychos”

The mediocrity of Eileen wouldn’t matter if the film was just a deliciously twisted affair where Anne Hathaway looks sexy as hell in a blonde wig. The problem is the film’s self-importance.

“May December” and Performance as Sacrifice

When May December was first announced, many assumed Portman and Moore would be the titular months in a lesbian romance. While that is not the case, queerness is still important to the film.

“Ex-mas” Should Be About The Chaotic Lesbian Sister But Instead It’s About Straight People 😔

The new Prime Video / Freevee Christmas movie “Exmas” is a stirring tribute to the power of turtlenecks in Minnesota with a lesbian character who should be the star but unfortunately she isn’t because heterosexuality rules the world.

Bayard Rustin was a part Colman Domingo was destined to play — he brings life to an, at times, lifeless script.

Beyond Gender Identity: A History of Trans Actors in Cis Roles

I’m talking about stories where the trans character’s transness isn’t the focus — where they’re allowed to be the worst behaved one or simply hot and getting laid or just really fucking good at their job.

Todd Haynes on “May December,” Queer Community, and Making Art in a Vile World

“My connection with gay women is the through-line of my entire life. But my queer community, as a whole, is not reducible to sexual practice. It’s more attitudinal. It’s the way we look at the world and stand outside certain norms.”
