'Sparkling . . . One of the best film critics around.' Literary Review

'Sparks with ideas, humour and wit . . . [a] brave, dizzying book.' Jon Savage, Observer

'A stunner . . . The future of criticism.' Brandon Taylor

Playfully blending personal memoir, criticism and candid new interviews with film-makers from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, Ryan Gilbey's eclectic and revealing book is a non-chronological treasure-hunt through queer cinema past and present.

Ryan Gilbey has been writing on film for more than 30 years. He was named the Independent/ Sight and Sound Young Film Journalist of the Year in 1993, won a Press Gazette award for his reviews at the New Statesman, where he was film critic from 2006 until 2023, and has written for the Guardian since 2002. He is the author of It Don't Worry Me, about 1970s US cinema, and a study of Groundhog Day in the BFI Modern Classics series. He lives in London.
