5 MORE Queer History Films for Pride
Posted on 1 May, 2024It’s Pride Month! Which means it’s time to celebrate our unique queer identities. Most cities likely have their own festival and Pride Parade already planned – make sure you go, if you’re able! It’s even more important this year to be publicly visible, when the hard-earned rights we’ve previously fought for are under threat. In fact, our own identities are threatened. But this is nothing new to most of us. We are used to having…

Caught
Posted on 10 June, 2020Based on actual events – those words always add a certain level to any film or short. In this case, “Caught” is a short film by Monte Patterson that captures the essence of the 1962 Mansfield, Ohio Police Department sting operation. While the location is different to that case, this short examines and mimics how similar operations were carried out – and still are. “Caught” is a brilliant short that treads the fine line between…

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…

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…

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…

Queer History Films For Pride
Posted on 1 June, 2021June in the United States is a special month for the LGBT & Queer community – it’s Pride Month! It’s a month-long celebration of who we are, letting the world see us as we revel and celebrate the long struggle to get where we are today. It’s also a time when we continue to push even further for equality, both at home and world-wide. But we can’t celebrate without knowing about how we got to…

Queer Mystery Films
Posted on 1 May, 2021Murders, detective, and … Bears? Oh my! This month’s list of queer mystery films was rather fun to research sift though, partly because most folks don’t think about mysteries when thinking of LGBTQ and Queer films. While the tides are slowly turning, the Queer film oeuvre is better known for coming out stories, HIV/AIDS related storylines, and similar. There’s actually a decent amount of queer mystery films; these are simply some of my favourites. But…

Rain Beau’s End
Posted on 21 February, 2023Back in 2021 when “Rain Beau’s End” had its premiere on Lesflicks, they asked me to write a review. Even though I watched and made my notes, life intervened. As a result, this review has been on the back burner since. However, I must confess that part of the reason for the delay is that I dislike writing a review for films I didn’t actually enjoy. Writer/Producer Jennifer Cooney tackled a very specific and unique…
