Megan Park delivers another coming-of-age story, but this one focuses on a young woman meeting herself in the future and questioning the sexuality she thought she was firm in.
Juan Sebastian Torales’ “Almamula” demonstrates that for gay youth, religion can be far scarier than the demons it preaches about.
Zeno Graton’s “The Lost Boys” is an LGBTQ+ drama that creates a lovely atmosphere within a juvenile hall, but you may wonder where exactly this story is headed.
“Something You Said Last Night” exists in the very tame depiction of LGBTQ+ issues, and as much as it makes clear that something is going on with the lead, it doesn’t dig deep in any form or fashion to get you interested.
Sandra Itäinen and Eman Abdelhadi’s documentary “Coming Around” displays the pain and beauty of generational change and intersectionality for a Muslim gay woman.
Jason Karman and Gorman Lee’s “Golden Delicious” is a fine coming-of-age story with a coming-out story we’ve seen all too often.
Luke Gilford’s queer cowboy movie “National Anthem” exudes so much warmth that it bursts from the screen and wraps its arms around you.
Chestnut,” with its lukewarm three-way romantic drama, is watchable but not must-see cinema.
At the minimum, “Eileen” delivers entertaining performances worth the ticket price, and at max, you will witness at least one performance worthy of a major accolade.

The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
