Although it’s definitely one of the best gay love movies out there, sexuality is just one aspect of this film which also explores what it meant to be Asian and British in Britain in the 1980s. This comedy-drama is set in London during the Thatcher years. While we wish everything could just be in one place - for now, it seems these are the best streaming platforms to watch on. US Netflix is (understandably) one of the best. Netflix is now available in more than 190 countries worldwide and each country has a different library and availability. Another option might be using a VPN to access Netflix titles locked to other regions.

You can get one month free of Amazon Pride (or a 6-month trial for students) of Amazon Prime and also get immediate access to FREE Two Day shipping, Amazon Video, and Music. We link to the streaming service we watch on in each case - be it Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apply TV+, or elsewhere. Wondering where to watch? It depends on where you live in the world and which streaming services you have.
Sometimes you just want to snuggle up, order in pizza and watch a movie that gets you chuckling.ĭon’t know where to begin? Well, luckily we’ve got a list of seven of the best gay-themed comedy movies to get you started – now you just need to buy the popcorn and get the blankets! These are important films addressing important topics, but let’s be honest: they’re not exactly a barrel of laughs. 102 minutes.There are some excellent gay movies out there: more recent ones include Moonlight, Brokeback Mountain, and Call Me By Your Name. Contains strong language, nudity, sensuality, drug use and smoking. But isn’t that why a lot of us go to the movies - or, in this case, Amazon Prime Video - in the first place? Unrated. Be patient: Good things will come to all who don’t give up on this meringue-like confection, if they can stand how often Lisa and Luka call each other “bébé.” How close does everything in the film track with Azuelos’s life? Who cares? It barely feels like anyone’s real life, to be honest. Once there - and with her grown kids back in France, like Azuelos’s - the 50-year-old “Lisa” of the movie embarks on a hot romance with a 29-year-old (!) she has met via a dating app (Colin Woodell), at the insistence of her lonely gay BFF Luka (Djanis Bouzyani), who could use a little of Lisa’s luck in love himself.
It begins with Marceau (also called Lisa here) moving to La La Land after the death of her mother, as Azuelos did. Azuelos’s math might be a little off, but the film, which reunites her with her cinematic muse and alter ego Sophie Marceau (star of the director’s “LOL” and other collaborations), closely follows the contours of Azuelos’s own biography. Does Lisa Azuelos love America? I’m not sure, but based on the evidence of the movie “ I Love America” - which the French filmmaker has described as 99 percent “my life” - she sure does seem to have a soft spot for American movies, especially the conventions of romantic comedies and their Hollywood happy endings.
