10 Best 5-Star Queer Films to Buy/Watch on Amazon & Prime Video
Posted on 1 November, 2023I’ve already shared the list of MY Top 10 Best-Rated Queer Films to Watch/Buy on Amazon and Prime Video. In that post, I focused solely on queer & LGBTQ films that I have reviewed here on Queer Film Reviews. However, some of you felt that I had left out some equally amazing queer films from that list. (And some didn’t quite realize that I ONLY included films I had written a full review on…) So…

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…

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. 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…

5 Queer Christmas Film Reviews for 2019
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! Well… I’m actually trying to stay cool and not get sunburn while getting ready for the Christmas BBQ – while singing Christmas carols in jandals… ? This holiday season will be my second Christmas down here in New Zealand, but I am still not sure I can adapt from the…

Christmas Coming Out
Posted on 24 December, 2021[“Christmas Coming Out” is the sixth short of my “7 Queer Christmas Shorts for 2021” post. To read the next review, “When Harry Met Santa“, click HERE. To read the previous review, “The Syed Family Xmas Eve Game Night”, click HERE.] I very nearly missed this new gay Christmas short, as it’s only available over at GayBingeTV. But I’m glad I didn’t, because it’s quite charming! Yes, it is another coming out story – but…

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…

Conversion Therapist
Posted on 31 October, 2020[“Conversion Therapist” is just one of the horror shorts from my “7 Halloween Shorts for 2020” post. To view the other shorts, head over to THIS post!] I’m on the fence about “Conversion Therapist”. On one hand it feels like they are trying to include any and every little queer bit they can think of into what should be a simple abduction/torture storyline. It ended up suffering from having too much happening that the strong…

DannyBOY
Posted on 10 January, 2021Right before the Christmas film rush began, I was asked by Rosh to review her debut short film “DannyBOY”. Now that the holiday craziness is over, I was able to catch up and dive right into some awesome Queer Shorts. And boy does “DannyBOY” deliver! Just from the trailer alone, it’s clear that we’re in for a thriller-esque ride. While the ending is quite captivating, unfortunately there are other bits and pieces that pulled my…

Dominant Chord
Posted on 27 February, 2021After a homophobic attack, closeted Country Star Adam Charles is forced to decide to “play it straight” like his label demands or to finally come out and live an open life with his longterm partner, Brian. After reading the synopsis, I was hooked and excited to give “Dominant Chord” a watch. Unfortunately, this queer short film did not live up to the expectations it set up. Let’s break it down and figure out why not….

Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds
Posted on 6 May, 2020[“Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds” is part of the “Eating Out” Saga. To read my review for the next film, “Eating Out: All You Can Eat”, click HERE. To recap the entire saga, head over to THIS post!] Normally, sequels don’t fare as great as the first film – especially when you recast one of the leads! However, there’s something about “Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds” that actually makes it a better and more enjoyable…

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…

I Am Jonas
Posted on 27 October, 2020This film caught me off guard. Knowing that I was a bit late to the party after it dropped on Netflix a good while back, I also knew nothing about the plot until I sat down to watch it tonight. I’m actually glad! “I Am Jonas”, aka as “Jonas”, is a new and thrilling entry to the Queer Film oeuvre from the brilliant Christophe Charrier. This mystery balances between two timelines in Jonas’ life, bouncing…

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…

The Lawyer
Posted on 30 September, 2020When I was approached to review “The Lawyer”, aka “Advokatas”, TLA Releasing’s most recently acquired film by Dekkoo Films, I was intrigued. The plot caught my attention; the trailer was stunningly beautiful while hinting at something a bit dark and mysterious – I wanted to know more. With this film being reported as the first feature film from the Baltic countries featuring male homosexual love, it had some large shoes to try and fill. Unfortunately,…

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…

To be fair, there are TONS of amazing and worthy queer dramas to choose from. So this month we’re going to revisit the drama genre with five MORE Queer Drama Films that are worth watching! If you missed that post, I highly encourage you to go check…
