10 Drag Films to Watch for International Drag Day
Posted on 16 July, 2025RuPaul might have brought drag more into mainstream media, but drag has been around since at least the Elizabethan era when women were not allowed on the stage. To get around this, young men dressed in women’s clothing instead. For the longest time, this was relegated to the theater. It wasn’t until the eras of music halls and the vaudeville when performing in drag became an art form in itself, rather than part of a…

11 NEW Queer Holiday Films & Series for 2024
Posted on 16 December, 2024Initially there was some concern over what queer holiday films we would get this year. Hallmark, for example, noted earlier in the year that they were planning more LGBTQ content – but then when the actual line up was revealed, it didn’t seem like they upheld their statement. There was little talk from the other major networks of new queer Christmas films either. But I actually wasn’t too upset. We’ve had a SLEW of new…

5 Even MORE Queer Drama Films
Posted on 1 March, 2025When I shared my first selection of 5 Queer Drama Films back in 2022, I noted that it was quite difficult to choose how to pare it down to JUST 5. After all, there are TONS of amazing queer drama films. This task is made trickier because most drama films are not JUST a drama film. Rather, they often go hand-in-hand with other genres. While these combinations don’t have their own fancy nickname like romcoms…

5 MORE Queer Documentaries for Pride Month
Posted on 1 May, 2025Pride in 2026 hits a bit differently this year. The United States is a mess, with the safety of our trans siblings up in the air. It’s not any better for those in the UK either. And fascism is unfortunately becoming more and more popular. So many are feeling a sense of despair, wondering what can be done in such difficult times. It’s helpful to remember that we’ve been here before. Queer history is full…

5 MORE Queer Music Films
Posted on 1 February, 2025As I noted in a prior monthly post, 5 Queer Music Films, there’s a fine line between a queer musical and a queer music film. According to IMDb, a music film is one that: “contains significant music-related elements while not actually being a Musical; this may mean a concert, or a story about a band (either fictional or documentary). Subjective.” It really comes down to whether the music in a film is part of the story, often…

5 MORE Trans Films
Posted on 1 April, 2025It’s been nearly four years since I shared 5 Trans Films for Transgender Awareness Week. So I felt it’s high time that I revist this specific part of the LGBTQ spectrum. Especially because current events and politics have brought the topic into everyday conversation – although not always in the most positive light. So let’s try to change that! As I noted before, I do not consider myself an expert on transgender films. BUT I…

5 Queer Bollywood Films
Posted on 1 August, 2024One of my goals with Queer Film Reviews is to share queer films you may not have heard about.

Now, Indian (or Hindi) cinema is actually quite an impressive industry! Popularly known as Bollywood or even Bombay Cinema, it is essentially…

Posted on 23 November, 2019‘Tis the season to deck the halls, make ourselves a cup of hot cocoa, and cuddle up by the fire while watching classic Christmas films!

5 Queer Christmas Films To Look Out For!
Posted on 11 November, 2020It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! (Yes… I KNOW it’s only November… but the first film/series premieres tonight!) While this year hasn’t given us too much look forward to, there’s something special about the Christmas holidays. I will freely admit that since moving to New Zealand, I truly miss the cold weather, the snow, and everything else that you think of to bring you into that special holiday spirit. But the one element…

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…
