Ignore
The 25 “GAYS” of Christmas
Posted on 1 December, 2022Can you believe that it has been THREE YEARS since I launched Queer Film Reviews? Yup! It all started with six new queer Christmas film reviews as part of my “Top 5 Christmas Films” post in 2019. (Wait… six reviews? It was a Top 5 post? Well, it was five films – plus a special mention!) While I haven’t always been consistent with publishing new film reviews, (aka – let’s ignore the fact that I…

6 NEW Queer Christmas Films & Shorts for 2023
Posted on 13 December, 2023Last year only gave us three new queer holiday films, which was quite the downturn from 2021 where we had a slew! Thankfully, there’s a couple more queer Christmas films premiering for 2023. The queer holiday film oeuvre has simply exploded in the last decade – and it’s amazing to witness. At this point, there’s just about a queer Christmas film, short, or series for everyone to enjoy. We actually have quite a wide variety…

Hallmark finally released a film with a gay storyline with The Christmas House, Lifetime progressed from the gay sub-story to a true gay Christmas storyline with “The Christmas Setup”, and we had a few other films that…

A Boy Named Noel
Posted on 20 December, 2021[“A Boy Named Noel” is the first short of my “7 Queer Christmas Shorts for 2021” post. To read the next review, “The Postie”, click HERE.] The first Queer Christmas Short to kick of my 2021 reviews is a rather interesting one. Created awhile back by the German YouTube channel, QueerBlick, it’s one of their many short films. “A Boy Named Noel” doesn’t say much, but takes us on a journey that most of us…

The Butch Who Stole Christmas
Posted on 3 December, 2022[“The Butch Who Stole Christmas” is the first film of my “5 Queer Holiday Shorts for 2022” post. To read the next review, “Xmas Eve Eve”, click HERE.] Not to be confused with VH1’s queer Christmas film, “The Butch Who Stole Christmas” is one of my interesting finds this year. This queer holiday short film from Amanda Holland’s YouTube channel, Girl Ship TV, is a lesbian parody on the iconic animated film “How The Grinch…

Fruitcake
Posted on 12 December, 2020This Queer short film review is part of my “Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020” post. “Fruitcake” – both a derogatory slang nickname for gay guys, and also a traditional Christmas dessert. But only one is actually present in this Queer Christmas short – and it’s not the actual dessert! It’s one thing to bring someone along to the family Christmas Eve dinner to avoid the “why are you still single” talk, especially from an overly…

Goodwill
Posted on 19 December, 2020This Queer short film review is part of my “Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020” post. Christmastime can be tricky for queer folks, especially when their families are religious. Going into a church alone can be tricky. Yet this short, which clearly shows a gay man who does not feel welcome inside his mother’s church, tries to bridge that gap – while giving us a dose of Christmas cheer. Synopsis of “Goodwill” Daniel (Stan Elliott) walks out…

To read the previous review, “The Postie“, click HERE.] Wow. “He Could’ve Gone Pro” may not be a queer Christmas short film that you watch to get into the holiday spirit, but this one makes a powerful impact! With an almost artistic film vibe, the film begins subtly. However after…

Holiday Help Desk
Posted on 5 December, 2020This Queer short film review is part of my “Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020” post. While I think this short film’s premise is a bit more fantasy than reality, “Holiday Help Desk” is a cute and whimsical lesbian romance set on Christmas Eve. The holidays are usually full of joy and happiness, but the reality is that they actually are rather lonely for many folks. This short film shows a bit of that, but also…

Lucky Fares
Posted on 28 November, 2020This Queer short film review is part of my “Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020” post. Not all Christmas films and shorts are jolly and bright. “Lucky Fares” is a bit on the darker, drearier side, but there’s still a glimpse of hope we tend to associate with Christmas films. As such, this might put off many of you who are looking for those holiday films to lift you spirits. I actually enjoyed it, but I…

Made For You
Posted on 25 December, 2020This Queer short film review is part of my “Queer Christmas Shorts for 2020” post. Five years ago, Phil Beastall rocked onto the short scene with “Love is a Gift”, captivating the hearts of thousands at the holiday season. Last year, he stepped up his game and has given us “Made For You”. While it is quite short (only two minutes!), he succinctly captures the heart of Christmas: spending time together with those you love….
