On today's episode, we're throwing on our cutest club wear and taking the bus down to the Gloucester Pub, and revisiting the wonderful LGBTQIA+ coming-of-age film, Beautiful Thing (1996). This movie was based on a play by Jonathan Harvey (who also penned the screenplay) and was directed by Hettie McDonald.
This movie stars Glen Berry (London Bridge), Scott Neal (London's Burning, EastEnders), Linda Henry (Bad Girls, EastEnders), Tameka Empson (3 Non-Blondes, EastEnders), and Ben Daniels (The Exorcist TV Series, House of Cards).
This is an absolute classic for queer cinema that follows two young men in Thamesmead, London in the 1990s while they discover their own sexuality, and ultimately fall for one another. If you're at all a fan of queer/LGBTQIA+ cinema, definitely put this on your watchlist.
