Review of Disobedience (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

This delicately handled tale of romance and acceptance is likely to remain one of the finest films of the year, as well as being further proof…

Review of Discreet (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

Despite the disturbing subject matter and matter of fact way in which it is dealt, it's hard not to search for deeper meaning when coming face…

Review of Believer (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

It's well-intentioned and occasionally moving, but hard to talk about without confronting its flaws…

Review of 1:54 (2016)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

It's common for filmmakers to appear out of touch when making contemporary films dealing with bullying, often over-sensationalising and losing…

Review of Retablo (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

An emotionally brutal tale of self realisation, which even in its heightened state and geographically detached setting, will likely prove to…

Review of The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

This is undeniably Cameron Post's story, but as silent horrors befall other characters, I couldn't help wish the film was longer than its brisk…

Review of The Cakemaker (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

There is an earnest, emotional truth to the characters and their relationships - which is plain to see in their faces, even when secrets are…

Review of Beach Rats (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

Beach Rats is a new take on a classic coming out story - and it feels thrillingly contemporary. This is undoubtably one of 2017's best LGBT films…

Review of Tomcat (2016)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

A masterclass in generating tension from the most mundane events, going so far as to indirectly ask the viewer if they would ever truly be…

Review of Signature Move (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

A sweet, uncynical romantic drama that feels thoroughly contemporary largely because it isn't trying to be…

Review of Chavela (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

Chavela is a film about the power of one woman's music that is every bit as emotional as the songs she made legendary…

Review of Love, Simon (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

It's inescapably conventional filmmaking, with a crowd pleasing narrative that's as charming, heartwarming and predictable as you'd expect…

Review of Opening Night (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

Don't be put off by the premise - Opening Night is a consistently funny and highly quotable directorial debut…

Review of A Moment in the Reeds (2018)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

A Moment in the Reeds may be tender and insightful, but it's also sexy as hell…

Review of Political Animals (2016)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

This is important, essential viewing- and as positive as the outcomes here are, it is still a vital reminder of the important LGBT rights issues…

Review of Believer (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Gay Essential (53) on 07 Oct 2018

It's well-intentioned and occasionally moving, but hard to talk about without confronting its flaws…

Review of Logan Lucky (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemazine (12) on 03 Oct 2018

Logan Lucky is momentarily entertaining, but it is very quickly forgettable; a minor work from one of American cinema's most restless mainstream…

Review of T2 Trainspotting (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cut Print Film (3) on 03 Oct 2018

T2: Trainspotting is unsurprisingly disappointing, even though a strong third act proves that it isn't a total waste of time…

Review of Mudbound (2017)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cinemazine (12) on 03 Oct 2018

Mudbound takes an intimately epic novel and transforms it into an unsubtle, awards courting drama…

Review of Live by Night (2016)

By Alistair Ryder (351) for Cut Print Film (3) on 03 Oct 2018

A wrongheaded attempt at a noir thriller that manages to make cinema's coolest genre look utterly, irredeemably ridiculous…
