10 Best-Rated Queer Films to Buy/Watch on Amazon & Prime Video
Posted on 12 April, 2023While many today still consider films that feature queer LGBTQ characters and storylines rather niche, that is actually quite far from the reality. There are HUNDREDS of LGBTQ films, shorts, & series to buy on DVD or BlueRay from Amazon alone. In fact, if we focus on queer films you can stream or watch online, there are THOUSANDS – with over two thousand to be found just on Prime Video! So with such a plethora…

Fairies
Posted on 29 April, 2020“Fairies” was successful short on its own before writer/director Tom Gustafson decided to expand the story into the 2008 feature film, “Were the World Mine.” I have a confession to make: I LOVE “WTWM” and didn’t even realise that this short exists first. Unfortunately, that means that my review of “Fairies” is through this retrospective viewpoint and thus already a tad biased. But what I was pleasantly surprised about “Fairies” is that all of 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…

More Queer Drama Films
Posted on 1 August, 2023Last year, I shared my list of five Queer Drama Films. But if you recall, I had a difficult time picking only five dramas to make the cut.

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

Queer Crime Films
Posted on 1 October, 2022Crime films are usually not the kind of films you watch to feel good. Queer crime films are no different, although when adding a queer element, the crime film generally takes an even darker turn as elements of homophobia/transphobia, cliche prison stereotypes, and included. They unfortunately are also often based on true stories; actual crimes that have been committed and are being brought to life on screen to either better explain or to perhaps clear…

Queer Fantasy Films
Posted on 1 March, 2022When you hear the word Fantasy, what comes to mind? The most obvious images would be anything magical, extraordinary or even exotic. In fact, IMDb notes that Fantasy films contain numerous scenes that give off the effect of a magical and/or mystical narrative, usually with elements of magic, supernatural events, mythology, and folklore. But it’s NOT Sci-Fi (which is more based on science and the advancement of science towards a potential future). So when paring…

RENT
Posted on 26 November, 2019“RENT” has a very special place in my heart and is one of a few key shows that are among my favorites. When the musical opened on Broadway in 1994, it took Broadway and the theatre world by a storm, and it wasn’t just because of the tragedy of the show’s writer, Jonathan Larson, passing away in the morning of the first preview show Off-Broadway. Let’s dive into this film adaptation of the award winning stage musical….

Score
Posted on 24 February, 2021This week’s queer film review is quite a shocker – it’s one of few films that fall into IMDb’s “Adult” genre. But what is this titillating explosion of swinging and bisexuality? It’s Radley Metzger‘s 1974 film, “Score”. When it was released in theatres, it was both shocking and quite divisive; it’s also one of a very small niche of films from the 1970’s “Golden Age of Porn”. But perhaps more surprising is that it’s actually…

Were the World Mine
Posted on 17 June, 2020In “Were The World Mine”, Director/Writer Tom Gustafson takes his well-received short, “Fairies“, and expanded it into a feature length film that addresses the question: If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Additionally, he finally answers many of the questions we were left wondering from his short. Those answers are woven amid a retelling/twist of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the magical world of fairies – except this…
