I’ll admit, I was totally tearing up by the end of the movie. It was just very sweet, and the perfect taste of the holiday spirit I’ve been missing this year.

Influencers
(2025)

A biting social commentary slasher franchise more perceptive in its critique of digital social media culture than anything else within the horror landscape right now

The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo
(2025)
|
Payton McCarty-Simas
|
There are no purely happy endings here — the story hinges on mass queer tragedy, after all — but this melding of trans self-fabulation makes for a surprisingly optimistic watch.

A Private Life
(2025)
|
Drew Gregory
|
There’s a lightness to Zlotowski's work, even when dealing with suicide and murder, its depth and devastation hidden in only a couple lines of dialogue or a single frame.

Hedda

The film has all the discordance of a theatrical revival that stretches the edges of its famous text. DaCosta wisely leans into these imperfections.

Weapons
(2025)
|
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
|
Horror films often slash the picturesque portrait of American suburban life, but Weapons is at its best when it takes this one step further and really looks directly at the ways communities can tear themselves apart when focused on the wrong things.

While it may not be a queer movie — not by most people’s standards, anyway — I think Together is still a really fun movie for queer people to see.

Another Simple Favor

Christina Tucker

All in all, it’s a mostly fun time (that one scene notwithstanding) and the costumes are honestly worth the price of admission, along with the stunning shots of Capri’s landscape and narrow streets.

The Wedding Banquet

If the original film was about the shame of being gay, this film is about the lingering effects years after the shame subsides.

Queens of Drama is a true work of queer art, a film about projection and cruelty that acknowledges its own projection and refuses to be cruel.

While the film certainly falls short of generating the deep wells of feeling to which it aspires, primarily through its most genre-standard plot points, its voice is still striking, its characterizations memorable.

Overall the movie was a cute, fun time that coordinates perfectly with its fellow horror comedies, with less gore and genuine scares than Bodies Bodies Bodies, but more gays and heart than its fraternal twin, Totally Killer.

Anora

Anora‘s practically seamless tonal shifts and sharp performances make for a strong, defined comedy with dramatic weight. Although the film carries its head high for nearly the entire runtime, it might just undersell itself in the last moments.

I don’t compare Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long passion project to Jennifer Lopez’s visual album as a critique. Both projects are self-funded tributes to the power of love and marriage that lead with gargantuan sincerity and bonkers visual effects.

While the intent of the film — to show our older selves that the choices we make are inherent to our humanity, and should not be sought to be changed unless we change who we are — is beautiful, the execution is at best sloppy.
