Best gay movies 2024
A queer year at the movies: Top LGBTQ films of
It was another queer year at the movies, and not just because was bookended by out gay filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s sexy tennis adoration triangle, “Challengers,” and his sexy adaptation of William S. Burrough’s “Queer.”
There were plenty of films that portrayed LGBTQ life. There were gaslight thrillers, such as Todd Verow’s cruisy gay flick, “You Can’t Stay Here,” back in January, and the recently released lesbian horror film, “You are Not Me.” And there were some fabulous documentaries, including “A House Is Not a Disco,” Brian J. Smith’s affectionate look at the Fire Island Pines, and the inspiring “Unfightable,” about Alana McLaughlin, the second openly trans MMA fighter.
Here is a rundown of the most notable LGBTQ films that screened in New York in
Best Queer Film: “In the Summers.” This knockout feature debut by the queer writer/director Alessandra Lacorazza is set entirely in Las Cruces, New Mexico, as two sisters visit their father, Vincente (René Pérez Joglar, aka Residente) four times over an approximately year period. T
Autostraddle’s Pride theme was Rage Party. That’s also how I would describe the best queer cinema of
While I love an easy-to-digest comedy or an unapologetically heavy drama, something is lost when our cinema treats fun and importance as diametrically opposed. Queer cinema can be about the challenges we face, the oppression we experience, the microaggressions and aggression aggressions and all the rest, and still be fun and sexy. In fact, fun and sexy are two of our greatest tools.
Even though Hollywood has pulled back from “diversity” this was still an excellent year for queer cinema. Below, I’ve written in-depth about my ten favorites, and also felt the necessitate to shout out 20 more queer titles. (Plus 10 non-queer movies I loved too.) But as long as we’re living in complexity, I ponder it’s important we mirror on which queer people are able to generate in the absence of more mainstream support. The vast majority of directors who released queer films this year are light — even more than most years. There’s plenty to complain about in the mainstream as Emilia Pérez will likely b
The Greatest LGBT Films and TV Shows of
Look over the menagerie of LGBT movies and TV shows released in carefully enough, and you&#;ll uncover as many hidden gems as you will worsening cracks. In others words, there&#;s good news and bad news — but in the year&#;s overall impressive lineup, also a glimmer of hope.
On the small screen, the seemingly unending aftermath of the streaming bubble burst from saw the &#;Cancel Your Gays&#; trend push forward as LGBT series ended abruptly, and fewer projects were green lit to take their place. Stand-up comedy specials, particularly those at Netflix, continued to platform contradictory political voices with hugely disparate views about human rights — which created some bizarre situations, for good and for bad.
There have been reported declines in onscreen queer representation across film too, albeit not as stark as those impacting actors on television. Still, looking back at a year that included several memorable success stories from throughout queer cinema, the silver screened side of the industry certainly seems more hopeful heading
I saw Queertoday, at the Museum of Modern Art. It's s strange, leisurely film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me by Your Name. I liked it very much.
Based on the short novel Queerby William S. Burroughs, the film features Daniel Craig as Burroughs' transform ego, a gay (at this point in his life) American man living in Mexico. The film is divided into three chapters: Mexico City, Explore Companions, The Botanist in the Jungle, and an Epilogue.
The first chapter might as well be called "Booze, drugs, cruising, and lusting." William Lee (Craig) becomes obsessed with Eugene Allerton, played by Drew Starkey. Lee picks up random men in cafes and bars, but finally settles on Eugene. There's a pretty boiling sex scene between the two. In Chapter 2, they travel south, to South America, to tour and to search for a certain plant/drug that can confer telepathic powers on the user. In Chapter 3, they move deep into the jungle to search out the American doctor who is an expert in the plant. If you're familiar with the actress Lesley Manville (I've see h
