‘Lyle’, Cool Concept, Poor Execution.
The idea of Rosemary's baby but with lesbian partners drew me in, and I was anticipating what the film had in store with its reimagining. Unfortunately, it all felt a little too vague to leave an impact.
Homofobia de estado
In Equatorial Guinea there is strong social homophobia and LGBT people are victims of police harassment and discrimination. Activists Angel and Gonzalo testify about the persecution they suffer, the difficulty of coming out of the closet as it is a taboo within families, conversion therapies and the role of the church. A very shocking reality that reminds us of past times in Spain. In this documentary we also make a comparison between LGBT rights in Equatorial Guinea and Spain, how they have evolved, the possibility of regression, etc. with the testimony of Spanish activists, politicians, etc.
