“Laying down next to a pretty girl in moonlight and talking about our feelings, like… it’s just movie magic.”

Reporting daily with queer movie reviews from one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals.

We’ve got new seasons of Vox Machina, Hunters and Ginny & Georgia; a cringe comedy indie film set at a destination lesbian wedding, an action series that strands a lesbian on an oil rig, Alan Cummings’ competition reality show with a non-binary contestant, a new “very queer” Anne Rice adaptation, HBO’s “The Last of Us” and so much more!

Yes, this list has some underrated indies. But it also has several Oscar frontrunners — or at least Independent Spirit Award frontrunners. As queer people, we can’t look to the mainstream for validation. But it sure is fun when we get it anyway!

Alisha’s queerness isn’t just some sidelined reference. The whole plot of Lightyear revolves around Buzz comparing his life to that of his queer, Black best friend and realizing that family and community is what he truly desires.

Follow the ups and downs of a relationship — from its chaotic end to its shy beginnings.

The film is similar to the Old Hollywood screwball comedies. It celebrates a queer woman by embracing her chaos in a world built on structure.

It’s time for our fifth annual Oscars chat and this is the best batch of films we’ve ever discussed! Join us as we journey through all the Best Picture nominees in anticipation of the 2024 Oscars ceremony.

We’ve got the much-anticipated and very gay “League of Their Own” TV rebirth, a horror movie set at a gay conversion camp, the return of Never Have I Ever, the debut of the supernatural “Sandman” series and so much more!

After “Foxfire,” Annette was pushed aside and ignored. But she kept working — detours and frustrations included — and now she’s back with a new film and ready to move beyond for-hire jobs to direct the personal, artful work she should have been making for decades.

We’ve got the return of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a super-queer Australian teen series, Netflix’s campy dark comedy flick “Do Revenge,” Beth Ditto in country music drama “Monarch,” Rachel Bloom starring as a lesbian TV writer in Hulu’s “Reboot” and so much more!

Since the rise of video, “just go out and make something” has been a rallying cry to young filmmakers. I would add not to lose yourself along the way — in content or form.

As the film reflects on the progress and lack thereof for trans people, it’s also a reminder of what we have to lose without inventive, intelligent big budget movies.

Who among us hasn’t been locked in a tower by our overbearing mothers (metaphorically)?

From Old Yeller to Biscuit, paying tribute to the dogs that were ripped out of our arms by the lords of the teevee and cinema.

WHAT WILL I BECOME? is a documentary in pre-production on trans masculinities, mental health, and imagining a way forward. We are examining the community’s unique challenges of visibility and nuanced experiences of misogyny.

The movie shows us what happens if we wait too long to interrogate our culture and ourselves, lose sight of truth, and fail to take action: irreversible destruction.

The Six Chicks? The mere premise of wanting to skip from 13 to 30? There’s a reason this iconic film connected with me so deeply when I was a closeted preteen.

“I know and love many Danielle-esque people — but she is not me. Instead, she is the projection many people have of me solely based on my identity.”

We’ve got a series about lesbian vampires and a series about a queer actress angling to be in “Les Vampires,” a delightfully inclusive Queer as Folk reboot, Selena Gomez getting the girl in Season 2 of The Only Murders in the Building, a new 80s-set movie about a young Black queer singer and (truly) so much more!
