A Closer Inspection of LGBT Characters in Film
We have a long way to go with LGBT representation in film, especially when it comes to LGBT characters of color and trans characters.
Between Riverside and Crazy (2023)
City Hall is demanding more than his signature, the landlord wants him out, the liquor store is closed—and the Church won’t leave him alone. For ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his recently paroled son Junior, the struggle to hold on to one of the last great rent stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive collides with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum in this Pulitzer Prize-winning dark comedy from Stephen Adly Guirgis.
