5 Even MORE Queer Comedy Films
Posted on 1 July, 2024Of all the genres out there, the one that almost everyone loves is Comedy. In fact, I’ve already written about it – twice! First was 5 Queer Comedy Films in 2022, and then 5 MORE Queer Comedy Films in 2023. There’s just something quirky and fun about comedy films that are entertaining to watch. However, the thing I most like about the comedy genre is that it covers SO many varieties. Even IMDb’s genre definition…

Are We Lost Forever
Posted on 3 November, 2020“Are We Lost Forever”, the feature debut film by writer/director David Färdmar, is still new on the scene in this very weird year of 2020 – but it’s already gaining attention. Starting off at the end of a relationship, we follow our leads, Adrian & Hampus, as they navigate the messy world of the post-breakup with all of it’s ups, downs, arguments, makeups, et al. (It actually started off as the Queer short film, “No…

At Last

Despite going with her best friend “Flash”, she actually changes into a tux and meets up with her crush – Sam. But the two girls sharing their first kiss is not the only dramatic twist of this queer short! Read on to find out more, as well as find out…

Circus of Books
Posted on 24 June, 2020There are so many incredible parts to be discovered within “Circus of Books”, a documentary that tells an almost unbelievable story of Barry and Karen Mason, as told through the lens of their daughter, Rachel Mason. Given that “Circus of Books” is a documentary and not the usual fictional story, I won’t recap a full synopsis. Because this IS Queer history, I feel that it’s better to watch the documentary for yourself. No amount of…

Clay Pride: Being Clay In America
Posted on 6 February, 2021While an older short, “Clay Pride: Being Clay In America” was added to my list of queer shorts to review because it’s not only quite poignant, but it stands out because it’s done with claymation. The entire queer short is a metaphor for being gay. It shows how is has not been easy to be clay throughout history and having to face the ostracisation and homophobia from the normal plasticine community. While the story is…

Eating Out: Drama Camp
Posted on 6 May, 2020[“Eating Out: Drama Camp” is part of the “Eating Out” Saga. To read my review for the next film, “Eating Out: The Open Weekend”, click HERE. To recap the entire saga, head over to THIS post!] Ok – so I lied before. Perhaps it’s my fan for theatre, but “Eating Out: Drama Camp” is my favourite in the series. There are no casting changes and we get even more depth to the characters we already…

Giant Little Ones
Posted on 15 April, 2020Wow – “Giant Little Ones” is a powerful film; full of vibrant visually laid out moments that are underscored by an energetic electronic soundtrack. But what makes this film even stronger is the script – and how it masterfully delves into the world of high school adolescent teenagers trying to figure out their sexuality in a modern, sex and party fuelled atmosphere. Writer & Director Keith Behrman weaves all of these elements to create a…

How (NOT) to Come Out of the Closet
Posted on 11 October, 2022Today is NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY! It is a day celebrated world-wide, though its roots harken back to the United States. While you can come out any day of the year, many choose to tie their coming out with National Coming Out Day as an act of solidarity. There are also many who are privately out to their family and friends, but not out to the rest of the world. Every year there are more…

Just Ask Him
Posted on 6 April, 2023Ah, the teenage crush of our fantasies! For many, it was one of the jocks. The ones that everyone dreamt about – yet few got to have. For me, it was one of the only other openly gay guys in school… I digress, BUT we’ve all been there. We’ve all had a crush on someone who we didn’t even know was gay – and sometimes didn’t care. And that’s perhaps the thing I enjoyed the…

The Laramie Project
Posted on 13 October, 2020* This is a longer than normal film review. Laramie, Wyoming. Population 26687. A small town in an idyllic, rustic, and rural Wyoming. On October 7, 1998 – that all changed when 21 year old college student, Matthew Shepard, was found after he was beaten, robbed, and left to die while tied to a fence the night before. All because he was gay. When Moisés Kaufman, head of The Tectonic Theatre Project heard of the…

Make the Yuletide Gay
Posted on 22 December, 2019Note: This movie review is one of the films in my Top 5 Queer Holiday Film 2019 Someone – somewhere – decided that all Christmas movies are supposed to be whimsical, charming, and heartwarming. “Make the Yuletide Gay” nails that brief perfectly; it is a cute, colorful story about family, boyfriends, and the holidays – with quite a lot of comedy too! Since discovering this film, it has become a regular holiday movie to watch. Synopsis…

More Queer Comedy Films
Posted on 1 March, 2023Last year I shared five Queer Comedy Films – all FIVE of which are incredible comedies! But it’s time I make a confession… I had quite a difficult time paring down a rather long list of amazing queer comedy films to just five. I simply couldn’t! Somehow I managed to select just ten films. I listed them by IMDb’s rating, and only shared the first five in last year’s post. And now it’s time to…

If you missed that post, I highly encourage you to go check…

One Fine Day, A Hairdresser
Posted on 20 March, 2021I came across “One Fine Day, A Hairdresser (Un Beau Jour, Un Coiffeur)” because of Julien Baumgartner. Also starring in “You’ll Get Over It (À Cause d’Un Garçon)“, I was intrigued to see more of this attractive actor’s work. Unfortunately, I was rather disappointed. Now, don’t get me wrong – this queer short film is interesting to watch. It just is not a masterpiece and feels more like a film student’s final project. Let’s break…
