Seriously, most prominent lesbian and queer-women cinema falls into certain, very dismal categories: Lesbians But They Have to Hide Because It’s Also the War of 1812 or Something ( The Favourite, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Ammonite) Lesbian Actually Just Wanted Man This Whole Time, Glad We Figured That Out ( Chasing Amy, The Kids Are All Right) Sad 😞 ( Blue Is the Warmest Color, Disobedience, Pariah).
