The kids are alright is a movie directed by Lisa Cholodenko. She really believed that she was showing that every family has struggles, and while it is clear that she wanted to show these struggles, I felt that she did a better job of bringing lesbians into toxic spaces, and creating a movie full of…

Moonlight was an absolutely phenomenal film to watch, and I am so glad that I got to watch it in the comfort of my own home (so that I could properly react, of course). The film shows Chiron as he grows older. The film is divided into three sections, all labeled based on the names…

I really enjoyed watching Pariah and I think the movie did a wonderful job expressing Alike’s changes as she started to better understand herself. The movie tells the story of Alike, and toward the beginning of the movie, it seems as though her main goal is to lose her virginity, as her friend Laura is…

Every film has it’s issues, of course, and Weekend‘s definitely include the immense amount of substance use and the mildly non-consensual sex, but I did really enjoy this movie. Weekend tells the story of Russell, who meets a man at a bar. He and Glenn, the man he quickly falls in love with, spend the…

Boys Don’t Cry is a story about Brandon, a trans man, who is from Lincoln, Nebraska. The movie follows him as he meets Lana and her group of friends, and the two fall in love. Lana, throughout the film, notices small details and begins to figure out that Brandon is trans, but she doesn’t say…

This movie was so incredibly hard for me to watch, and I had the opportunity to watch it in my own home, rather than in the classroom, and having the freedom to react as I pleased might have honestly made it worse. Milk tells the story of Harvey Milk, the first openly queer American Politician,…

I had a lot of thoughts while watching this movie, yet at the same time, I had no idea what I was seeing. I think I need to watch it at least three more times to understand it. Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a musical movie, tells the story of Hedwig, who was only able…

I really enjoyed this film. An emotional film, set in the fifties, and it’s about lesbians? Truly a work of art. Visible Differences Rewatching the film, I was really interesting in the first scene, which I now know is from a few months into the film. When Carol leaves, she puts her hand on Therese’s…

Watching Mutt was really interesting. I had to remind myself that not everything good is always action packed, and remembering that in both film and literature is exceedingly important. I feel like today, most people find simple things to be boring, where simplicity can actually be a great opportunity to implement important and emotional themes.…

I’ve seen this film a few times, but it never fails to make me emotional. There are so so many beautiful things shown of the New York drag scene, and it is hard not to love. I’ll cry over any older queer people, especially the Black drag queens who shaped the queer community today and…
