My recent movie reviews for LGBT / Queer Teens:
Beautiful Thing
starring Glen Berry, Scott Neal and Linda Henry. Directed by Hettie Macdonald. Please see my October 28th, 2011 post for my review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On September 16th, 2011, I created a post that laid out my picks – and those of thousands of Amazon customers – for the top ten movies and shows for queer and questioning teenagers. I’ve listed everything below. Some of these films have been reviewed or previously recommended on this site and I’ll note that when one has been. Two of the movies have a related book that I’ve reviewed. These recommendations are a mix of comedy, drama, documentary and docudrama.
Please see the September 16th post for links to my original reviews in cases where one has been done, or for a synopsis of the movie if it was not reviewed by me. UPDATE: On February 3rd, 2012 I reviewed the Trevor movie. Please scroll down to that movie for a link to the review.
