If you’re even vaguely a fan the iconic Grey Gardens, Göran Hugo Olsson’s new documentary That Summer is essential viewing. If you haven’t seen the Maysles brothers’ masterpiece (why not?) this is probably not for you, but it is, in any case, an absolute gem of 70s archive film. The story starts out with a narrated intro from legendary […]
Taabe Guggenheim-Kennedy, The Most Powerful Lady in Finland, has wowed the world with her Hollywood video series. Now she ventures into the world of sci-fi. Loverboy have been given a sneak peak of the forthcoming Full Time Lady and can share the trailer with our readers. Ahead of the release of the film, Fallon […]
Loverboy’s Fallon Gold goes to the movies to swoon over Kristen Stewart but instead falls for the woman who is yearning for KStew in the magnificently subtle Certain Women. I often espouse and lament a golden age of 90s independent cinema as one massively underrated (generally) and very much missed (by me). Back then I […]
The re-release of John Waters’ Multiple Maniacs sees the Cavalcade of Perversion come to our big screens. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold puts the water on the boil for Lobstora Thermidor and prepares to be revolted by this lost queer classic.

Loverboy’s Fallon Gold went along and explains why it is so vitally important that this life-affecting film be shown. In 1998 Matt Shepard was taken by two […]
Loverboy adores a Classic Gay Film and for queer women Loving Annabelle is right up there. When we found out that the director, Katherine Brooks, was doing a documentary about loving Barbra Streisand we were beside ourselves. Add to this the fact that Brooks has directed some of the best reality TV and made an extraordinary documentary about […]
This year BFI Flare screened some well loved classics and Loverboy fell in love with them all over again. Fallon Gold rekindled her love for Desert Hearts and swooned at the cool genius of its director Donna Deitch. As queer kids and younglings we often have to search for representations of ourselves where we are […]
The poignant themes of choice and the closet bookend the 30th BFI Flare; Fallon Gold wonders what she might do if she was a football star in the making or a 70s feminist in the face of the pressures of fame, family and love. BFI Flare 2016’s opening night premiere is Ben A Williams’ The […]
