Femme (18)

★★★★ "Spiralling, unpredictable and edge-of-your-seat tense. Femme is a staccato, fresh revenge thriller worth watching." ~ Little White Lies.

---

Jules’ life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack. But after a chance encounter with his attacker, the deeply closeted Preston, he is presented with the opportunity to exact revenge.

Unrecognisable out of his wig and make-up, Jules infiltrates Preston’s life and in doing so discovers the lines of seduction, revenge and power are blurred.

★★★★ Don’t let this one pass you by. George MacKay and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett utterly thrill in this sexually charged, suspense-filled watch. ~ Empire.

★★★★ An outstandingly tense psychodrama of drag and sexual peril in which a performer is subjected to a brutal homophobic assault and finds himself in a disturbingly intimate situation with his attacker. ~ The Guardian.

★★★★ But this is no standard queer trauma narrative: it has a twist worthy of Hitchcock waiting in the wings. ~ Time Out.

★★★★ An unbearably tense queer London revenge thriller, in which Nathan Stewart-Jarrett excels as a drag artist who starts a relationship with his attacker. ~ The Observer.

★★★★ An audacious debut about masculinity. George MacKay is on career-high form and utterly convincing as someone whose hair-trigger temper is fuelled by seething self-hatred. ~ The Times.

★★★★ The result is an extraordinary erotic thriller for an uncertain age. ~ Radio Times.
