  Stop Making Sense 1984

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 May 2024

Allowing an audience to not only indulge in something super clever and funny that revels in the y2k teen comedy tropes it lovingly pokes fun at but also fully connect to a really cool and quite cute queer love story. 

  (Was also really nice to get a q&a with the writer/director Angela Robinson afterwards, who seems super fun and talked really nicely about trying to make a queer film as a young filmmaker within a studio system)

  Although slightly contrived and shallow at points, I think this is a pretty cool queer story and credit especially has to be given to the way this film incorporates drag into its narrative and visual storytelling. 

  Credit however should not be given to whoever at Tiff let the old white (probably straight) bald man present the q&a after the screening. Homie was on about how Ru Paul was the one who brought fierce into the drag lexicon 🤪 and literally…
