The subtext is so discernible we have a hard time believing it’s unintentional.

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.

Every story can be told, if it’s told right.

“My favorite moment in the movie happens during the climax when one of the skinheads punches Judy. She punches him back. He calls her a dyke. And she says thank you.”

It’s season two, b*tches, get ready to get dark. We’re back. Real dark.

I watch The Hours whenever I’m sad.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I’d prefer no lesbians in a movie to lesbians who only exist as stereotypes.

If you’re anything like me and your main reasons for watching “Bruised” were to see Halle Berry fight and make out with girls, you won’t be disappointed. But you might walk away wishing it had stuck to just those two things.

“Littlefoot, in true queer fashion, has a lot of mommy issues. (This, of course, is a common theme in other popular lesbian movies such as Carol and Frozen 2.)”

The film festival was not as gay as hoped, and it turns out I’m still not cynical enough to not cry when ladyqueers say “I do.”

The last few years have brought a renaissance of sorts for Jodie Foster.

Part of the problem is the film’s casting. While Sydney Sweeney gives a perfectly fine performance, this feels like a role that would’ve been well-served by casting someone known to present more masculine.

Audiences have long read queerness onto Eve due to her obsession with Margo and a brief moment when she’s seen walking upstairs with her “roommate.” She fits into the trope of the conniving lesbian — a vampire feasting on Margo’s life instead of her blood.

David Lynch’s 2001 masterpiece has a thematic core that has been largely ignored.

The film doesn’t force her to always be Frida Kahlo, famous artist. She’s allowed to just be Frida.

The Color Purple has never been just about Black women saving each other. It’s about Black women finding beauty and worth in each other, in all aspects of who we are, and on this Alice Walker could not be more clear: that means in our bedrooms, too.

Look, if you want Cate Blanchett to punch you in the face and run over you with her bicycle, that’s absolutely fine — but revisiting Carol or even Ocean’s 8 is a better way to live out that fantasy. 

Straight rom-coms aren’t expected to properly evoke Marsha P. Johnson and gay romcoms shouldn’t have to either — of course, it helps that straight romcoms don’t try.

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.

It’s less that Winslet feels like Ronan’s mother and more that she feels like Ronan’s dull aunt she sees once a year at Christmas.
