A Private Life (2025) 81% EDIT “Ultimately, its balance falls in the right place, but as a thriller, it barely functions. ” – Gay City News Jan 12, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “[Jack Nicholson's] dramatic crescendo in A Few Good Men evokes just enough energy, not true pathos.” – LA Weekly/Village Voice Jan 8, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “When the humor turns dark it is damned effective, particularly in the story’s bravura ending.” – Arts Fuse Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% EDIT “Dead Man’s Wire is meat-and-potatoes cinema.” – Gay City News Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “It can’t be denied that Marty Supreme is effective as a wild trip. It’s an immersive experience — not an analysis of its self-adoring antihero.” – Arts Fuse Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “Neither Spielberg nor his writers can be accused of exploiting the idea without caring about it: they do care about it, up to a point. But that's the point at which they simply don't know what to do with it.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Wake Up Dead Man is a big step up from “Glass Onion,” the second installment in director Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” trilogy.” – Gay City News Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) 84% EDIT “It’s a hymn to the pathos of living as a popular fictional character.” – Arts Fuse Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Peaches Goes Bananas (2024) EDIT “Although it takes in these unglamorous parts of the artistic life, it presents the singer as a three-dimensional person, far beyond her outrageous persona.” – Gay City News Dec 4, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 68% EDIT “Well-intentioned to a fault but unwilling to take real chances, “100 Nights of Hero” is queer cinema at its tamest.” – Gay City News Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Dracula (2025) 66% EDIT “If ever there was a film bound to divide spectators, this is it. But its risk-taking exuberance is thrilling, though the results are uneven.” – Arts Fuse Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Peter Hujar's Day (2025) 92% EDIT “Even in just 73 minutes, watching the film also feels like spending a day in his presence.” – Gay City News Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Bunny (2025) 79% EDIT “The film’s prevailing mood is a stoned silliness that takes the edge off its more anxiety-inducing elements. ” – Gay City News Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Lesbian Space Princess (2025) 98% EDIT “It comes with a message about the importance of loving oneself rather than caring too much about others’ opinions.” – Gay City News Nov 3, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “Reichardt avoids obvious fashion choices, and uses little rock music. Its meticulous care for detail comes through particularly strongly in the scenes set in bus stations and hotels.” – Arts Fuse Oct 22, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “To be as kind as possible to “After the Hunt,” its characters behave confusingly because they don’t understand or won’t admit their own motivations. ” – Gay City News Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Ombres de soie (1978) EDIT “Ombres de Soie is a film that asks to be swooned over.” – Arts Fuse Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “The film celebrates two people society pressures to hate each other coming to do the opposite. Tonatiuh’s performance dodges the stereotypes it might have fallen into, and he and Luna have great chemistry together.” – Gay City News Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Robert Wilson and the Civil Wars (1987) EDIT “The first half of Brookner’s film offers a rather dry introduction to Wilson’s innovative theater work... The documentary’s second half takes its portrait of Wilson in a new, much more dramatic direction. ” – Arts Fuse Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Angel's Egg (1985) 100% EDIT “Without conventional characters or narrative – though there are a number of references to Christian mythology – this is a movie that should be absorbed and experienced first, and then picked apart for speculative answers.” – Arts Fuse Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Black Girl (1972) EDIT “The conflict within its extended family is sketched out with great care. ” – Arts Fuse Oct 3, 2025 Full Review The Arch (1968) EDIT “The Arch is too disconnected from its characters’ emotions to make much impact on the viewer.” – Arts Fuse Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Without calling attention to itself, it avoids the male gaze behind vintage erotic thrillers. It respects the style without trying to elevate it.” – Gay City News Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 83% EDIT “ Apart from its hyperkinetic style, Plainclothes is much like any other coming-out narrative.” – Arts Fuse Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Dreams (2024) 90% EDIT “Even the spaces where “Dreams (Sex Love)” remains elusive are carefully calculated. Style plays backup to the film’s illustration of its themes, although Haugerud lays them out cleverly. ” – Gay City News Sep 11, 2025 Full Review
