“With its unvarnished take on the sex lives of gay men in the 21st century, Andrew Haigh’s ‘Weekend’ stood out when it was released in 2011, and it fits right into this month’s ‘LGBTQ+ Favorites’ program on the Criterion Channel,” @hoodedjustice.bsky.social writes.
“This week’s fringe VOD releases feature half-hearted attacks by sharks and krakens, plus a delivery driver taking a psychedelic journey, a rancher making a stand, and a brain-damaged woman confronting her past,” @signalbleed.bsky.social writes.
