Hi gay! Here’s 5 must-watch queer films to catch at LFF
Pretend to like films to entrap Hinge matches? You’d better be taking notes. WORDS ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH Across reboots, reimaginings and remakes, everything in movie-land feels…kind of familiar.
From the million Marvel movies to the musical adaptations that we didn’t need (yes, we’re on about Mean Girls – even if we do stan Reneé Rapp as gay Regina George), we’re getting a serious case of cinema déjà-vu.
The only bright spot? Queer (or queer-adjacent) big-hitters like Drive Away Dolls, Love Lies Bleeding, Monica, Passages and Challengers which have lit up cinema screens with raunchy humour, abundant family drama, disastrous polycules and, er, homoeroetic churros.
And, as it turns out, this year’s BFI London Film Festival is the perfect place to find gay, queer and trans stories to banish the bad movie blues.
