Straight Actors Playing Queer Characters: This is Exhausting
It’s 2021 and what few LGBTQ+ films that are produced by major film studios continue to star cisgender heterosexual actors, rather than actual LGBTQ+ people.
Equidistant
Equidistant is a poignant urban drama about friendship tested by inequality. Heitor and Aquiles, two trans men from different racial and social backgrounds, start college together full of hope. But as the pressures of class, identity, and survival mount, their bond begins to shift. Set in a Brazilian metropolis, Equidistant explores how structural barriers quietly shape relationships — and how personal resilience becomes the only path forward, even when it comes at a cost.

'Dark Waters' Review: A Gripping, Near Perfect Tale
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling.
