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…

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 Foreign Queer Christmas Films
Posted on 1 November, 2024In 2020, Korean director Bong Joon Ho said something important during his speech after winning the Golden Glober award for the best foreign-language film: “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” I FULLY agree! There are so many amazing foreign queer films out there that often don’t see much attention from US and even Western audiences. Although it is worth noting that many of…

5 MORE Queer Action Films
Posted on 1 April, 2024Three years ago, I first tackled the Action film genre and compiled the best 5 Queer Action Films. Since then, we’ve had a few more queer action films enter the scene – so it was time for a second look. Thus today, I’m bringing you 5 MORE Queer Action Films! If you recall those first five queer action films (or if you’ve just come back after taking a peak at them!), they may not have…

5 MORE Queer War Films
Posted on 1 July, 2025I first dove into queer war films four years ago with my post: 5 Queer War Films. So I felt it was time to dig up a few more to share with you! War films are a genre that doesn’t need any explanation: they are films that take place amid or during armed conflicts. When you add an LGBTQ element, then it becomes a queer war film. Interestingly and perhaps a bit oddly, many queer…

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…

Eating Out: Drama Camp
Posted on 6 May, 2020[“Eating Out: Drama Camp” is part of the “Eating Out” Saga. To read my review for the next film, “Eating Out: The Open Weekend”, click HERE. To recap the entire saga, head over to THIS post!] Ok – so I lied before. Perhaps it’s my fan for theatre, but “Eating Out: Drama Camp” is my favourite in the series. There are no casting changes and we get even more depth to the characters we already…

I Hate New Year’s
Posted on 29 December, 2020Well this is awkward… when I created the initial draft for my review of “I Hate New Year’s”, the film had an IMDb rating of 5.1. – it’s now 4.3. Oops! However, the drop is a tad understandable because while there are some good moments of this new queer film – overall, it’s not that great. Sure, we have a lesbian holiday romance to watch this year, and it IS a rather cute story. But…

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…

Queer Documentary Films for Pride Month
Posted on 1 May, 2022Most folks aren’t too keen to watch documentaries. Instead of learning about factual events, they would rather lose themselves in a fictional story that merely entertains. And there’s nothing wrong about that! However for those willing or even desiring to delve into the documentary genre, there are actually a decent amount of queer documentary films to pick from! But first, what defines a documentary film? (Instead of a biopic or other film based on a…

Queer Thriller Films
Posted on 1 September, 2022Just in time for Halloween, this month’s theme is queer thrillers! Murders, political games, terrorism, and more all unfold within each of these five films. Each have certain elements that make them all great films to watch – however, while they all list themselves as a queer thriller… one does not match the others. Is it actually a thriller film? Hmm… To be fair, when I selected this month’s films I had only seen three…

Tonight It’s Me
Posted on 9 March, 2021Dominic Haxton is no stranger to queer short films. Breaking into the limelight with “Teens Love Phil” but before he created “Tonight It’s You“, he gave us “Tonight It’s Me”. (They really aren’t connected, though they share a similar title.) This queer short film is a conundrum – a stunning, thought-evoking conundrum that draws you back for even more! I’ll be frank, I didn’t really enjoy “Tonight It’s Me” that much when I first saw it….

Trans Films For Transgender Awareness Week
Posted on 1 November, 2021Historically in mainstream media, trans folks are added purely for comedy. However, it’s usually at the expense of being trans so it’s not actually funny and rather demeaning. Or, like others in the queer community, trans persons are used as the “victims” – especially in crime dramas where the cliche storyline is the trans person was killed after their john realised “she” is actually a “he”. Perhaps worse, they films aren’t actually trans films, just…
