The nostalgia of fleeting romance and ‘what could have been’ is strong with this one. The film received universal acclaim after its release in 2011, largely for its realistic and documentary-like portrayal of a same-sex relationship, and for offering a queer romance that was mostly unaffected by the omnipresent threat of homophobia or judgement from the outside world.

Weekend (2011)Ĭast: Tom Cullen, Chris New, Jonathan Race, Laura Freemanīefore he worked on queer HBO series Looking, director Andrew Haigh helmed British romantic drama Weekend, which followed two men (Cullen, New) who meet and begin a short-but-sweet sexual relationship the weekend before one of them leaves the country. We’ve rounded round up 10 of our favourite queer films of the decade, from the Oscar-winning Moonlight, to the first major studio same-sex rom-com Love Simon, and the critically-acclaimed French AIDS drama 120 Beats Per Minute. We don’t need to remind you the importance and impact proper queer representation in Hollywood movies can have, and while there are still improvements to be made, the 2010s have brought some incredible LGBTQ stories and talent into the mainstream. I knew when I watched Torchsong, Parting Glances, Boys in the Band – them type of movies, I know I had seen some important cinema, to that list and others I could add, I commend God’s Own Country as a quality gay movie.This decade has brought us more queer stories on the big screen than ever before. I am nothing to do with the making or distribution of this film.

If only one person reading this has a look & decides to watch this movie – then I have done my job. When I saw this movie – I was filled with so much emotion I promised myself I would let other guys know that there is a quality movie that deserves to be watched. I search the web for movies with a gay subject & occasionally you find an amazing movie. Had it played worldwide to an audience we would have been looking at a best movie Oscar with a nod to either in the lead or both. This movie was made with a low budget with limited release venues.

Hidden sexuality & alcohol plus racism make the English guy a nasty piece of work, until one day……. Set in northern England (miles away from London), a farmer’s son is angst ridden that he looks after the sheep on the family farm on his own.įree workers movement in the European Community means his family take on a Romanian guy to help with the sheep. Very disappointed & kind of surprised (can I be both?) that the excellent British movie ‘God’s Own Country’ never made the list. Have a look at our picks for the best cinema of the decade. So which fabulous feature films will be forever remembered as classics? Not coincidentally, the 2010s have also seen an explosion of characters and storylines in the movies, keeping pace with the community it depicts. Even the setbacks of the Trump community can’t hold back the wave of cinematic awareness. Marriage equality, the right to serve in the military, the increased visibility of transgender people have raised awareness and emboldened queer people all over the world. It’s been wild, wonderful decade, and we can hardly wait to see what the next one has in store. We’ve grown more aware of intersectionality, gender identity, and sexual fluidity and we’ve seen major social and political advancements across the globe. We’ve seen an explosion in queer representation in film and TV, music, politics, and on social media. As we enter into the roaring ’20s, Queerty is looking back on the last 10 years of culture in our “Decade of Decadence” series.
