Review in Brief: The King (2019)

Review in Brief: Benjamin (2018/19)

Posted on November 13, 2019 by Sam S-P

You don’t really get gay romcoms. Why don’t you really get gay romcoms? You get gay characters in rom-coms, plenty of hard-hitting gay dramas and romances but not many films focussing on gay relationships in a comedic context. Simon Amstell … Continue reading →
