Queer indie dramas are an entire subgenre, and I am OBSESSED!!! I just wanted to shoutout some of my favorites real quick.

(Warning: These films will rip your heart out and then put it back together again.)

God’s Own Country (2017)

This film takes place in the Yorkshire countryside and is basically Brokeback Mountain with a happy ending. It is nitty-gritty and rough around the edges and kind of hard to watch at parts, but there’s so much tenderness woven throughout. Francis Lee did an outstanding job, especially considering this was his first film. Plus, it has a cutie baby Josh O’Connor in it 🥰

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

This film is about a painter who is hired to do the wedding portrait of a young woman who is engaged to be married to a nobleman. She refuses to sit for the portrait, so it must be done without her knowledge. Marianne poses as her companion so she can study her features for the portrait, but an intense emotional connection forms. It’s a very artsy very French film, but it’s so beautiful and emotional and the intimacy and care between Marianne and Heloise melts my heart 🥺 I also love the friendship they have with the young maid, Sophie.

Weekend (2011)

This film takes place over the course of a weekend as two men have a Friday night hookup but then start talking the following morning and realize that maybe there’s something there. They’re at different places in their coming-out journey, but they spend the entire weekend together in a little bubble, talking and getting to know one another. And then as the weekend comes to a close, they realize that they’re starting to genuinely fall in love. It’s a quiet, introspective film and it brings up some really important conversations around sexuality as well.

Boys/Jongens (2014)

I always call this film Dutch Heartstopper and I watched it on repeat in the days leading up to Heartstopper’s release. The plotting is very similar, although the tone is quite different. Two boys meet when they are on the same relay team at school. One is a year older and more confident in his sexuality and the younger is still struggling to figure himself out but knows that he is irresistibly attracted to his new best friend. This film has butterflies and first kisses and first love, and I will always recommend it to fans of Heartstopper!

The cast of THE LETTER FOR THE KING: Amir Wilson, Ruby Serkis, Thaddea Graham, and Gijs Blom

When a ruthless prince threatens to cast the world into darkness, a young knight in training named Tiuri (Amir Wilson) embarks on an epic quest to deliver a secret letter to the king. Along the way, he unexpectedly finds himself at the center of a magical prophecy foretelling the rise of a hero who can defeat the prince and restore peace. If he’s going to survive the journey, Tiuri will have to learn what it means to be a true knight — and a true leader. 

The story is based on the best-selling novel of the same name and also stars Ruby Serkis, Thaddea Graham and Gijs Blom. The Letter for the King is written by Will Davies (How To Train Your Dragon, Johnny English, Puss in Boots) who also serves as executive producer. Paul Trijbits (Saving Mr. Banks, Sing Street, The Casual Vacancy) is also an executive producer. The 6-episode original series is produced by FilmWave.

The series will premiere on March 20 on Netflix.
