Femme (2023) - Movie Review

Femme is a frightening and forceful look at revenge through the eyes of a young gay drag artist who's brutally attacked by a closeted homophobic psychopath. Leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination, this film never shies away from showcasing all the beauty and the horror associated with identifying as LGBTQ+. What we're witnessing here is a fictious depiction of the kind of violence and threats that people actually receive in real life simply for being themselves. Truthfully, this film isn't the easiest watch but it's one that feels absolutely necessary to further grasp the scope of what's happening to people suffering worldwide. The addition of revenge in this film's story made me incredibly curious to see how they might tackle taking on oppressors in a modern age. The final result makes for a shocking finish and undoubtedly sits Femme among the best releases of 2024!
