Femme (2023)

JustWatch Streaming Info | imdb | trailer

Jules is a drag performer whose life is upended by a homophobic assault. He finds his attacker and then things get extremely complicated. I discovered this one thanks to John Waters’ excellent Top 10 for 2024, and it is quite an experience. This film explores the nuances of sadism and masochism without pulling any punches. Judging by the IMDb Meta Score, the critics found this to be difficult viewing. I really appreciated how challenging it is to stereotypes and audience expectations. Femme may be difficult to sit through, but I think that’s part of what makes it special.

Available on Blu-ray from Utopia.
