Queer

TIFF 2024: Special Presentations This was my final screening for TIFF 2024, and I'm honestly glad it was this one. Queer is something that I don't think I've ever seen before. Meaning that I don't think any other film I’ve seen has conveyed such deep thought, meaning, and understanding towards identity than this one has. It's not only a film about being queer, it's a film about trying to understand why we feel the way we do within ourselves. Whether it be love, desire, longing, or connection, for some reason, we crave these things so deeply, no matter how much we may try to shut them out or pretend it all just isn't there. The things that make us alive. I've wanted to see something like this on the big screen for a long time, and I finally got to. While it is all over the place and confusing, I felt like I knew exactly what was happening for most of the runtime. Queer was incredibly profound to me, even if my explanation doesn't make sense, not even to myself. On another note, I had such a fun time at TIFF this year. I got to see so many new films before they were releasing theatrically, and I was so happy I was able to. I'll definitely be going again next year if I get the chance.
