From fantasy heroes to ordinary teens, these streaming movies all spotlight nonbinary characters
Welcome to your weekend streaming recommendations, a.k.a. the Weekend Watch, a handy guide to the queerest film and TV content that’s just a click away!Queer representation in movies have come a long way, but nonbinary characters are still deeply underrepresented.
Often, nonbinary characters in films are relegated to minor or supporting characters, good for a joke or a one-off cringe moment (don’t get us started on Benedict Cumberbatch’s character in Zoolander 2).
This weekend’s streaming picks, however, include richly drawn, fairly portrayed nonbinary characters, from fantasy heroes to aliens to your everyday, normal teens.Read on for movies featuring nonbinary characters to stream this weekend.This 2023 animated fantasy, directed by Nick Bruno & Troy Quane, tells the story of Nimona (Chloe Grace Moretz), a teenager in a fantasy-punk world who is revealed to be a shapeshifter who doesn’t see themselves as one gender thanks to their unique ability.
Nimona meets a knight on the run for a crime he didn’t commit, Ballister (Riz Ahmed), and the two set out to clear Ballister’s name.
