“Disobedience” Review: Urgent Kisses, God, and Lesbian Spitplay
“Sex with an ex is complicated business, even when it’s good. And Disobedience lives in that beautiful mess of a place. The spitting feels almost like a spiritual ritual.”
“Samantha’s Amazing Acrocats” Is About the Price of Following Your Dreams and Also Circus Cats
For a documentary about a circus cat show, the film is about so much more about the human relationships that shape us. It’s about how us strays and weirdos put the glitter eyeshadow on because we know we’re actually superstars in waiting. Also, it’s about the world’s only all-cat rock band.
“We Exist: Beyond the Binary” Is a Sincere, Open Documentary About Gender

Lena Waithe’s Superstardom Reaches New Heights in “Ready Player One”

I Love “Black Panther” with All My Heart, and I Deserve to See My Queer Self in It Too
The very premise of Wakanda is based on imagining new black realities. Creating new legends, tales of heroics that aren’t predicated on whiteness. Stories of community and strength. Liberation and stardust.
I Watched Lesbian Classic “The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love” and Confirmed That Life Is Suffering
Here’s what I would be willing to do instead of watch this movie: Drink as many La Croixs as it would take to fill a bathtub in one sitting. Make a snowman with my bare hands out of the snow that’s been icing over for weeks. Walk across an oiled kitchen floor carrying a latte that I’m bringing to a person I don’t want to disappoint or embarrass myself in front of and also the kitchen is super long. Listen to someone try out every ringtone on their phone on a public bus.
“Bad Reputation” Review: Joan Jett’s Sexuality is Everywhere in Her New Documentary

Misery loves company. We know where this tale inevitably leads, but some pleasure precedes the axe.
“Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart: Lorraine Hansberry” Is the Documentary We All Need and Deserve in 2018

“Proud Mary” Review: Taraji P. Henson Is a Hot-as-Hell Ass-Kicker in a Lukewarm Film
I thought Proud Mary was going to be Taraji P. Henson’s Atomic Blonde moment, but the movie never lets her reach that action star potential, throttling her with a weakass story that she nonetheless sells the hell out of because she’s Taraji P. Henson.
Amilyn Holdo and Leia Organa Were Dating in “The Last Jedi” and You Can’t Convince Me Otherwise
I love my gay space moms!
“Princess Cyd” Is the Most Hopeful Queer Film of 2017
“Princess Cyd isn’t interested in the well-worn plot of queer sexual awakening, the torture of figuring out who you are and the fraught path you have to follow to let other people in on your secret. In fact, Princess Cyd isn’t really interested in plot (or secrets) at all. It’s a character study of two women who clumsily and gently brush up against each other and find new happiness because of it.”
Disney Pixar’s “Coco” Showed Me My Mexican Self On Screen Like Never Before
Everyone in the film is Mexican. Everything in the film is Mexican. Everyone and everything is me.
I Watched Lesbianish Classic “Jennifer’s Body” and Now I Love Cinema!!!
