Siberian Summer 

In the spirit of Halloween, here's a list of body horror films which can be interpreted as trans allegories.

Ian and Barley embark on a quest to find a magical gem to restore their father back to life.

The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.

Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space. They don’t care how far the community has fallen so much as how high they can rebuild themselves.

All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
