Second Trailer for Excellent ‘Femme’ Film Featuring George MacKay

“I’m a private person.” “Are you now?” Utopia has unveiled a second trailer for the edgy new film Femme, which first premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival (here’s my review) last year. One year later – they’re giving this another push before it hits US theaters. It’s a remarkably powerful look at the dynamic between a gay man & closeted “tough guy” in London. Jules’ life as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack. But when he re-encounters his attacker, the deeply-closeted Preston in a sauna, he is now presented with a chance to exact revenge. Unrecognizable out of his wig and make-up, Jules infiltrates Preston’s life, and in doing so, discovers power in a different kind of drag. A provocative contemporary thriller. Starring George MacKay as Preston & Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Jules, with a cast including Aaron Heffernan, John McCrea, Nima Taleghani, Antonia Clarke, and Moe Bar-El. I am a big fan of this film and raved in my review that it’s “an edgy, compelling cinematic story.” Arriving in cinemas this March – keep an eye out. // Continue Reading ›
