Saturday Church

Synopsis:

A 14-year-old boy, Ulysses, struggling with gender identity and religion, begins to use fantasy to escape his life in the inner city and find his passion in the process.

Quick Thoughts:

“Saturday Church” tells a heartfelt coming out and acceptance story within a safe environment. In fact, there really is a Saturday Church in NYC! With a unique blend of musical numbers that touch deep in our souls, this is quite an incredible queer fantasy film! The fantastical element is quite unique itself, as it’s within Ulysses’s creative mind that he finds escape which aids his own escape from a difficult home environment. However, it’s Kain’s amazing performance that really makes “Saturday Church” a film to watch! (There’s also a strong influence of the trans & queer black community, along with some great voguing & ballroom scenes.) If this queer fantasy film got skipped on your radar, find yourself a copy today and enjoy this fantastical adventure!
