I'm The Most Beautiful Count is a flamboyant Thai historical fantasy that mixes time travel, political intrigue, queer identity, and outrageous comedy. Uneven in places but constantly entertaining, it thrives on a magnetic lead performance and a refreshingly bold sense of style.

Love Hits Like His Right Hook is full of familiar BL melodrama, from debt pressure to protective rescue scenes and over-the-top villains. What keeps it watchable is the chemistry between its leads, which gives this lightweight vertical romance enough heat and charm to land.

Khemjira is a richly textured Thai horror BL that mixes reincarnation, folk ritual, and supernatural suspense with a patient central romance. Long and occasionally overstuffed, it still stands out as one of the more ambitious queer genre series in recent memory.

Into the Dark: Midnight Kiss is a stylish queer slasher that mixes New Year's Eve suspense, messy friendships, and hidden tensions inside a glossy holiday horror setup. It may not fully reinvent the genre, but it delivers enough drama and atmosphere to stand apart from more forgettable anthology entries.

Queerstralia is a witty and ambitious LGBTQ documentary series exploring Australia's hidden queer history through activism, humor, and cultural memory. Lively and locally grounded, it offers an engaging entry point into a rich past even when its broad scope leaves some stories only lightly explored.

Nunca Vas a Estar Solo is a Chilean gay drama about a brutal homophobic attack, parental grief, and the emotional fallout of silence. The film starts with urgency and social weight, but its powerful premise ultimately gives way to a frustratingly incomplete dramatic payoff.

Diving into Kiss Kiss Sxx, a collection of Korean short films, feels a bit like flipping through a photo album where most pictures are a blur, and only a couple capture genuine smiles. The anthology stitches together eight stories, each roughly the length of a coffee break, all united by… a kiss. Honestly, it’s almost as if the kiss is the only thread holding these tales together, leaving you wondering who these characters really are before their lips lock — a detail that felt rushed and, frankly, a little frustrating to watch. Take "Raise Me?" for example. Here, Seokmin’s plant, Gamdong, becomes more of a character than the people taking care of it. Hiring Jaeho, a clueless but eager freelance ‘plant-sitter,’ sounds quirky enough, but their interaction felt forced, like a joke told too early. The endless phone pings from Jaeho didn’t help either; I found myself sympathizing with Seokmin—a lot. It’s strange how a simple relationship between a guy and a plant can blossom on screen, but not quite in this story. Then there's "Folding? You!", where Woonhee, smitten with an origami fanatic named Jin, attempts to fold himself into Jin’s world. The whole ordeal was so cheesy it almost looped back around to being charming. I mean, using your lips to fold paper? It’s as ridiculous as it sounds and surprisingly endearing. Sometimes, you have to embrace the silliness to truly enjoy a film, and this slice of life delivered just that. The anthology’s mood swings wildly. "Sweet Mischief" took a darker turn, where friendship gets tangled in…

Skimming through Te Prometo Anarquía felt like diving headfirst into a bustling Mexican skateboard park—vibrant, raw, and full of restless energy. The film initially hints at a tender love story between two boys, Miguel and Johnny, but quickly shifts gears into a gritty crime thriller tangled with social drama. Honestly, I kept hoping it would linger a bit more in the romantic realm, because that tension between Miguel’s middle-class world and Johnny’s complicated identity as a bisexual skater straddling social divides had so much juice to squeeze. Instead, the plot ambitiously veers towards a dark underworld, where blood—both literal and metaphorical—becomes the currency, killing the sweet spark I yearned for. Miguel, a young skater from comfortable surroundings, and Johnny, who belongs to a world far rougher and more shadowed, share a volatile connection peppered with jealousy and raw vulnerability. Throw Adri into the mix—the girlfriend caught in a triangle of fractured loyalties—and you have emotional landmines ready to explode. But it’s the illegal blood-selling scheme that really drags these kids into a gruesome spiral, revealing desperation etched deep in their lives. The scene where armed men round up donors—reminding me eerily of a nightmare cattle drive—left my heart pounding. Who were these kids? Where were they headed? The film keeps their fate ominously silent, letting dread curl around the story’s edges like smoke. Yet, despite moments that hit like a punch to the gut, the film stumbles. I couldn't shake the feeling that the thriller elements were a tonal mismatch, like mismatched shoes you struggle to walk in. The love…

In een interview met The Standard in 2021 zei hij: “Ik zou zeggen: ik ben niet ‘openlijk homo’, ik ben gewoon homo. … Ik wist dat ik zichtbaar wilde zijn met mijn seksualiteit, want misschien kijkt er ergens een jongen thuis die denkt: ‘Hé, wacht even…?’ en dat had ik vroeger niet.”

Nights in Tefía: het vergeten verhaal achter de serie De Spaanse serie Nights in Tefía ging in september in première bij OUTtv, maar goed nieuws voor wie ’m gemist heeft: vanaf vanavond om 21.00 uur zie je elke zaterdag opnieuw een aflevering. Maar wat is het echte verhaal achter deze indrukwekkende reeks? Een verborgen geschiedenis Fuerteventura roept beelden op van zon, zand en rust, maar midden in dit landschap lag in de jaren vijftig een plek van onderdrukking en angst: de Penitentiary Agricultural Colony van Tefía. Dit werkkamp maakte deel uit van het repressieve systeem van dictator Francisco Franco, die Spanje van 1939 tot 1975 met harde hand regeerde. Onder zijn bewind werden niet alleen politieke tegenstanders vervolgd, maar ook mensen die als sociaal of moreel ‘afwijkend’ werden beschouwd, waaronder homoseksuelen. Op basis van de Ley de Vagos y Maleantes, de Wet op Landlopers en Vagebonden, konden zij zonder proces worden opgesloten in zogenoemde heropvoedingskampen. Wat officieel bedoeld was om de samenleving te beschermen, bleek in werkelijkheid een systeem van dwangarbeid, vernedering en isolement. Het dagelijks leven in Tefía was zwaar: dagenlang stenen sjouwen, water dragen, militaire gymnastiek, en voortdurende angst voor mishandeling door de bewakers. De kolonie bleef elf jaar in gebruik, tot 1966, en huisvestte honderden gevangenen, onder wie tientallen die enkel vanwege hun geaardheid vastzaten.   Waar geschiedenis en verbeelding elkaar ontmoeten Nights in Tefía brengt dit vergeten verleden tot leven door de ogen van Airam Betancor, die als tiener in het kamp belandt. Tussen het geweld en de vernederingen in creëert hij samen met andere gevangenen een…

The neon hum of Luna Terrace pulsed through the night like a heartbeat—steady, electric, alive. Nestled between the glass towers of New Elara City and the unruly wilds of the Mistwood Fringe, Luna Terrace was a pocket universe, a kaleidoscope of humanity and hope, radiating color against the sprawling monochrome skyline. Eira adjusted the strap of her worn leather satchel and settled onto the weathered bench outside the Starlight Ink Parlor—a tattoo studio famous for its glowing bioluminescent inks and cryptic artists who doubled as storytellers. Tonight’s chill didn’t bite as hard here; maybe it was the murmur of jazz leaking from the parlor or the soft light pooling around the antique lampposts. Eira’s fingers traced the edge of a folded postcard in her pocket. The script was hers, but the words were a question she wasn’t ready to ask. More than once she had rehearsed it aloud, but as the moment crept closer, her breath tangled in her throat. Across the alley, the hum shifted pitch—subtle, alluring. A figure emerged from the neon glow, illuminated in streaks of violet and silver. They moved with an effortless grace, a wide-brimmed hat tilted just so to mask a cascade of luminescent blue hair. “Late night at the Starlight again?” The voice was soft, tinged with both amusement and something tender. Eira’s heart clattered—a rhythm that matched the city’s neon pulse. “Aren’t you the mysterious artist who paints stories on skin?” she whispered, standing up. “I’m Eira.” The figure smiled, eyes glinting like stars caught in stormwater. “And I’m Ash. I guess…
