Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a re-watch.We caught this overlooked film just ahead of its digital release last month and found it an unexpected delight.
Milkwater follows the story of Milo (Molly Bernard), a single 20-something New Yorker whose messy life approaches Trainwreck-level chaos.
Single, directionless and resentful of all her friends getting married and having kids, she stumbles into a gay bar one night run by Roger (Patrick Breen), a single, 50-something drag queen.
Milo and Patrick initially bond over their own feelings of loneliness. When Roger mentions he wants to be a single dad through surrogacy, Milo volunteers to carry his baby.
