Film

Sundance 2021: A Gay Trans Festival Recap!

R#J is gay because Romeo and Juliet are a canon U-Hauling Cancer for Cancer lesbian couple.

By Drew Gregory| February 4, 2021
Film

Sundance 2021: “The World to Come” Is an Extraordinary Lesbian Romance Ruined By Casey Affleck

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.

Pauli Murray wears glasses and short cut grey hair with a denim blue overskirt while smiling and writing in a library in front of books.

Sundance 2021: “My Name Is Pauli Murray” Shines Brightest When Pauli Murray Takes the Lead

Pauli Murray was unspeakably brilliant, and their warmth is best captured on their own terms. With over 141 boxes of writings, 800 photographs, and dozens of tapes — the documentary “My Name Is Pauli Murray” shines brightest when it lets Murray take the reigns.

Anna Cobb in We're All Going to the World's Fair
Film

Sundance 2021: “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” Is a Horrifying Trans Vlogging Experience

That’s what’s so special about watching a film from a trans filmmaker this audacious and experimental. It doesn’t have to engage with transness in the expected ways to resonate with a trans audience.

Patti Harrison and Ed Helms in Together Together
Film

Sundance 2021: “Together Together” Proves Patti Harrison Can Do Anything — Even Give Birth

Ultimately, the film shows that the differences between cis people and trans people aren’t as vast as we usually think. There are many ways to make a family and the more expansive our imaginations the more everyone will benefit.

Lane and Bertie in Ma Belle, My Beauty
Film

Sundance 2021: “Ma Belle, My Beauty” Brings Polyamorous Dyke Drama to the South of France

Look, when a character takes a strap-on out of her backpack in the middle of a sex scene you know you’re in good hands.

Sundance 2021: Looking Back on New Queer Cinema with Rose Troche, Cheryl Dunye, and More

This afternoon at Sundance, I took a break from binging movies to watch a panel straight out of my queer film nerd dreams.

Sundance 2021: “Knocking” Finds Horror in Gay Grief and Isolation

One of the pleasures — pains? — of consuming art right now is that everything seems to be filtered through our current lens. And it makes this thriller all the more effective and difficult.

Film

Sundance 2021: “4 Feet High” Is a Monumental Work of Queer Disabled Media

How can you watch this series and not feel angry with how deprived we are of stories about queer people with disabilities? How can you watch this series and not be delighted with what’s finally on-screen? How can you watch this series and not be excited about all of the possibilities fulfilled and all the possibilities still to come?
