Queer Screen Film Festival 2024
This year I’m reviewing films at the Queer Screen Film Festival 2024 (in cinemas 28 August – 1 September) for The Queer Review, so I’ve created a page to collate all the coverage.
-
Present Laughter (NT Live) ★★★★★
It’s a rare thing these days to watch a production without a bad note.
-
The Past is a Wild Party (Qtopia) ★★★★
Queer lit collides with queer life in Noëlle Janaczewska’s one-woman show, The Past is a Wild Party.
-
swim (Griffin) ★★★½
In Ellen van Neerven’s swim everything is fluid. Memory, emotion and, of course, water.
-
![[Your Name] (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★](https://culturalbinge.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/untitled-design-55.jpeg?w=1024)
[Your Name] (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
It’s horny, fumbling, silly and strangely emotional – kind of like watching the early years of Tumblr being brought to life on stage.
-
dog (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
With little dialogue, and little plot driving the story, dog is not a comfortable watch.
-
London: The Plays (Part Two)
Long Day’s Journey Into Night ★★★ / For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy ★★★★★ / Remembrance Monday ★★★ / Spirited Away ★★★1/2 This kind of variety is why I love London.
-
A Case for the Existence of God (Seymour Centre) ★★★½
A Case for the Existence of God feels fresh in the way it handles male relationships and masculine ennui (or “crisis of masculinity” if you prefer).
-
Holding The Man (Belvoir) ★★★★
Holding The Man is dear to me. I can’t remember how many copies of the original book I’ve given away over the years, or how many times I re-read it.
-
Yentl (Malthouse) ★★★★★
This is first rate theatre with literally nothing to critique. Worth a trip to Melbourne to see it all on its own, we can only beg the theatre gods, or the yeytser ho’re, for a Sydney transfer.
