Review of Tom of Finland (2017) by Brendan N — 17 Feb 2018
This is the least sexy movie imaginable. It's the usual closeted gay coming-of-age story set in WW2. What's frustrating is that this ultra-masculine art is drawn by a character who appears to have very little appreciation for dominant men in real life.
I'm guessing the real Tom of Finland wasn't much like this depiction, or maybe I'm hoping so, because this movie depicts him as neutered and miserable. An overly empathetic disappointment.
