Love, Simon (2018) One of the most mainstream LGBTQ+ films in recent memory, Love, Simon offers a simple but universal story: High school senior Simon (Nick Robinson) is gay, closeted. Under their influence, it’s almost inevitable that he should become the leader of a cross-dressing revolutionary gang. Kelly himself (an electrifying George MacKay) is taught to survive in this savage alien terrain by his brutal mother (Essie Davis), a rollicking bandit (Russell Crowe), an exploitative policeman (Charlie Hunnam) and a dissolute English official (Nicholas Hoult, refining the evil Hugh Grant persona he introduced in The Favourite). Ammonite (2020) Front-and-center of Francis Lee‘ s follow-up to his flat-out magnificent debut God’s Own Country is one of Kate Winslet.
Adapted from Peter Carey’s novel, it’s a hallucinatory punk-rock video – a searing picture of colonial-era Australia’s blasted landscapes, endemic corruption, decadent sex and bloody violence. Best gay/LGBTQ romantic movies of all time. Justin Kurzel’s biopic of Ned Kelly, the notorious 19th-Century bushranger, is light years away from the average period drama.
