Who Am I? The Queer Film Reviewer!

 Howdy, I’m Michael Deibert!

While I obviously enjoy movies, I also am known for many other interesting things. I am an avid traveller and have been on some amazing adventures across many countries & cultures. I’m also an avid singer and performer, working regularly in theater – both onstage and offstage. My theatrical work has also lead me into the world of costuming, which interestingly enough only added another reason why I enjoy many period films.

Oh yeah, I’m also gay!

(Which definitely explains why I have such a strong fascination with queer cinema, in addition to being quite knowledgable about the LGBTQ community…)

In short – I’m your Queer Film Reviewer! (double entendre intended)

Over the years, I’ve slowly amassed a personal collection of over 2,000 LGBTQ films & short films. But I got tired of trying to find decent film reviews for all of the Queer films in my growing collection. The major films & blockbuster hits are usually reviewed in the officially accepted channels. But many smaller, independent films (and most of the foreign LGBT films!) are only maybe lucky enough to get a reader-submitted review on IMDB.

Many of those aren’t that great – the reviews, and many films themselves!

Many other Queer or LGBT film review sites simply regurgitate the film’s IMDB info without any actual connection or a thorough review. When I want to read a review about a film, I want a personal experience; something that clearly identifies that the reviewer actually watched the film. But more importantly, the film’s relevance to the Queer & LGBTQ community was usually missing – even for films that are most certainly queer!

Queer Film Reviews is my attempt to fix all of that.

My goal is to provide YOU with honest reviews from a fellow queer person, while chiming in on why it’s queer-relevant. It’s that simple! I aim to publish new reviews on queer films and queer short films, as well as monthly posts that highlight even more queer films.

I’ve also branched out a bit last year and began a Queer Film, Shorts, & Series Database. Not only am I working to become THE definitive resource for LGBTQ cinema, my goal is to also share with you where you can watch all of these great (and the few NOT so great…) queer films!

So have a look through my site. Whether you’re curious to know what I thought of your favorite queer film or wondering where to watch that great queer film you heard about – Queer Film Reviews is here to help! Make sure you subscribe to my newsletters to stay up-to-date, and if you can’t find a film – let me know!

[Please note: The published reviews and thoughts shared on Queer Film Reviews are MY views – it’s perftectly OK if they differ from yours! To learn more about my rating score, check it out HERE.]
