'Other People' explores grief and love with acerbic humor, gentle pathos and scene-stealing turns from John Early and Josie Totah. 'Other People' (2016)Ī criminally underseen dramedy from 'Saturday Night Live' writer Chris Kelly, co-creator of Comedy Central's brilliantly subversive 'The Other Two.' David (Jesse Plemons) is a gay comedy writer going through a breakup who moves home to take care of his cancer-stricken mother (a never-better Molly Shannon). ‘I'm being way too method': Kate Winslet talks self-imposed isolation for lesbian romance 'Ammonite' 15. 'Brokeback Mountain' at 15: Why it still stuns as a universal love story and LGBTQ triumph With the release of period romance 'The World to Come' in theaters this Valentine's Day weekend, we decided to rank the very best LGBTQ films of the past two decades.
Although some movies were more cringe than cute ('Happiest Season,' 'The Prom'), it's still a more vibrant and nuanced landscape than the one 'Brokeback Mountain' came into 15 years ago. This past year, we've been gifted a number of spectacular LGBTQ stories, with heartfelt comedies ( 'Kajillionaire,' 'The Half of It'), Oscar-worthy dramas ('Ammonite,' 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom') and tear-jerking documentaries ('Circus of Books,' 'A Secret Love').
