    5 Queer Bollywood Films

    Posted on 1 August, 2024

    One of my goals with Queer Film Reviews is to share queer films you may not have heard about. And for various reasons, many of you may not be aware of the many amazing foreign LGBTQ films. So I’ve decided to start taking you “Around The World” via queer films! First up… India! Now, Indian (or Hindi) cinema is actually quite an impressive industry! Popularly known as Bollywood or even Bombay Cinema, it is essentially…

    Even MORE Queer Romance Films

    Posted on 11 March, 2024

    When you think of film genres, there are a few that will jump to most folk’s mind: Drama, Comedy, Action, … and Romance! In fact, many of these common genres are often combined as the key elements of each genre work well with others. For example, Romance and Comedy blend into another genre itself: the Romcom!

    Queer Drama Films

    Posted on 1 August, 2022

    The five films for this month’s theme are QUITE a powerhouse of films! Among them, three of the films won Oscars for their performances, and another was groundbreaking in its realist and honest portrayal as the first TV or feature film to depict AIDS. Round out a cast of incredibly talented actors and actresses – this month’s films were a treasure to watch/rewatch. But what makes a film a Drama? As I hold IMDb’s standards…
