Besties 2022

Like your best friend's little sister: not super hip or super intellectual, but she's sweet and sincere and deceptively complex in all the most intriguing ways.

This lesbian romance about two young girls from the hood is infinitely charming because it fully embraces its nativité. Yet looking beyond this innocence, there are layers go far deeper than the Juliet & Juliet tale of two star-crossed lovers from warring cliques.

What's more, the two young leads (Lina El Arabi & Esther Rolland) squeeze every bit of story out of this script with their strong performances, and director Marion Desseigne Ravel is smart enough to stand back and let it all unfold.

You've seen worse LGBTQ+ films, and this isn't one of those.
