Lavender Men (2024) 80% “Refreshingly unpretentious, acknowledging its own campiness without undercutting the authenticity of the voice which drives it – which is, of course, Mason’s.” – Washington Blade May 9, 2025 Full Review Egghead & Twinkie (2023) 96% “The love it lifts up is the kind ultimately has little to do with questions of sexual identity... the kind that transcends biology and sexuality to express something arguably more essential – the genuine emotional bond between two kindred souls.” – Washington Blade Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% ““The Wedding Banquet” makes for a perfect opportunity to entertain and validate ourselves – and even if it doesn’t tickle your funny bone, it’s a generous enough feast for your queer soul that it deserves you to see it.” – Washington Blade Apr 17, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 96% “Combined with the sharp, funny, and insightful script and the generosity of Sethi’s directorial approach, which frames each character with respect and import to the story, it all makes “A Nice Indian Boy” a nice crowd-pleasing movie to see.” – Washington Blade Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 96% “What makes “Misericordia” truly resonate is that they never overshadow its deliciously depraved story, nor dilute the finely orchestrated tension his film maintains to keep your heart pounding as you take it all in.” – Washington Blade Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Parenting (2025) 47% “A brisk, clever, saucy, and yes, campy piece of entertainment that will keep you smiling almost all the way through its hour-and-a-half runtime, with the much-appreciated bonus of an endearing queer romance.” – Washington Blade Mar 24, 2025 Full Review The Visitor (2024) 94% “Celebratory in its depravity and unflinching in its fully pornographic (and unsimulated) depictions of sex, from the blissfully erotic to the grotesquely bestial, it seems determined to fight stigma with saturation.” – Washington Blade Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Stockade (2023) “An intriguing and occasionally thrilling film experience, and one which will, most likely, become more so with repeated viewings.” – Washington Blade Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% “Zilbalodis’s film is an immersive ride, full of visceral and frequently harrowing moments that may produce some anxiety and conceptual shifts that may challenge your expectations — but it is a ride well worth taking.” – Washington Blade Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% “Visually lovely, with an array of memorable voice performances and a delicious balance of humor ranging from silly to the macabre.” – Washington Blade Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024) 95% “It comes off not just as a well-deserved tribute, but a welcome reminder that she is, and always was, a force to be reckoned with.” – Washington Blade Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% “A deliciously provocative, visually stylish piece of boldly countercultural filmmaking, that dares to suggest that the path to personal growth sometimes lies through kinky, forbidden sex.” – Washington Blade Jan 17, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “Like the architectural style embraced by its title character, “The Brutalist” is monumental, a construction of high ceilings and ornate furnishings that is somehow streamlined into a minimalist, functional whole. ” – Washington Blade Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% “The quality of these performances help to push “Nightbitch” beyond its genre pretensions and use it to express feelings that will doubtless be familiar to millions of woman, yet are rarely explored onscreen.” – Washington Blade Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% “While it may not be the kind of inspirational call to arms many of us feel we need right now, it still earns our recommendation as one of the standout films of the year.” – Washington Blade Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% “A fascinating and deeply affecting film, addressing matters of life and death as vast as the ones that drove the timeless musical masterworks in which Callas made her name.” – Washington Blade Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Close to You (2023) 66% “ It takes the audience in close, to provide a tangible feeling of intimacy and connect us to the emotional perspective of everyone involved. ” – Washington Blade Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% “All this A-list quality certainly succeeds in making Berger’s movie into an engaging, intelligent, and visually impressive piece of populist cinema.” – Washington Blade Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Sebastian (2024) 75% “In the end, “Sebastian” satisfies as a character study, and as a journey of self-acceptance, largely thanks to a charismatic, layered, thoroughly authentic performance from Mollica.” – Washington Blade Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “It’s one of those rare films that, even though it is crafted with excellence from every contributor, somehow manages still to be greater than the sum of its parts. ” – Washington Blade Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Unfightable (2024) “A harrowing, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring portrait of Alana McLaughlin.” – Washington Blade Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln (2024) 91% ““Lover of Men” never tries to claim, unequivocally, that Lincoln belonged in the LGBTQ rainbow, only that the likely probability that he did is worthy of consideration. ” – Washington Blade Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% “ Intelligent, erudite, passionate, vulnerable, and capable of delivering Shakespearean verse or prison slang with equal conviction and command, [Domingo] elevates the movie while simultaneously blending seamlessly into its larger purpose. ” – Washington Blade Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023) 65% “It might still be trash, but it’s sumptuous trash, and that’s always worth seeing on the big screen.” – Washington Blade Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% “Singer’s shrewdly balanced blend of genre tropes and artistic vision as a director never wavers, keeping us not only invested but thrilled by his style even during his movie’s silliest moments. ” – Washington Blade Aug 19, 2024 Full Review
