Are you on the hunt for some entertaining shows and films featuring queer characters or talent? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Coming up we take a look at some exciting releases to have on your radar for February.
100 Nights Of Hero
The time has finally come for UK cinephiles to enjoy this theatrical delight. Based on Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel, this wonderfully feminist and queer independent film has a star-studded cast. Emma Corrin (My Policeman), Maika Monroe (Longlegs), Nicholas Galitzine (Red, White & Royal Blue), Richard E. Grant (Saltburn) and popstar and LGBTQIA+ ally Charli XCX all share a screen in this historical fantasy. It’s a flick that is delightfully horny, stylistically rich and full of heart and deadpan humour.
Coming to UK cinemas from 6 February
The Cronology Of Water
Whether playing a vampire or a butch gym manager, Kristen Stewart has always captivated us with her
performances. And now she’s ready to show us what she can do behind the camera with this feature directorial debut, where she adapts Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir of the same name. Imogen Poots (Hedda) fully embodies Lidia coming to terms with her bisexuality and struggling with abuse and addiction. Kristen proves herself as a compelling writer-director in this feminine-rage-filled adaptation. And now, UK fans will finally get the chance to watch what this exciting director and cast can do.
Coming to UK cinemas from 6 February
