The town in which Renata (Carmen Madonia) and her family vacation in Luis De Filippis’ assured debut, Something You Said Last Night, is sleepy — quiet and inert. The cottages, spaced out enough to give the idea of privacy, sit near a lake that glistens during the day. Boats can be rented and sailed out to the water, there’s a pool somewhere in the resort and a number of places for a person to retreat from the world.
Renata, a millennial writer grappling with a recent layoff, does a lot of hiding in De Filippis’ film. Some of it is out of necessity — she’s a trans woman navigating an often cruel world — and other times it’s for respite. Her mother, Mona (Ramona Milano), is a well-meaning Italian matriarch whose attempts to help her daughter can feel suffocating. Renata ducks behind doors and absconds to the lake to vape and contemplate.

For most of Hollywood’s history, the romantic comedy genre has been dominated by straight, heteronormative storytelling that caters to the most simplistic common denominator in society. Rom-coms are often popcorn flicks that create a fantasy between a man and a woman that isn’t hard to understand, yet they rarely make people think about deeper themes or diverse representations.
Enter the LGBTQ+ rom-com. As progressive thinking has become more accepted, filmmakers, studios, and distributors have gotten more comfortable with giving queer people a vision for their own lives with stories that look a little more like their own. LGBTQ+ rom-coms often give non-straight identifying people a chance to feel normal and loved, and at other times they are the same sappy happenstance stories that their straight counterparts are famous for. Either way, LGBTQ+ rom-coms are very much in vogue. Here are the best ones you need to watch right now!

Carmen Madonia as Ren, speaking about the role, she said: 'Preparing for the role completely changed my life beyond my career'
Something You Said Last Night follows twentysomething Ren (Carmen Madonia) as she goes, somewhat reluctantly, on holiday with her parents Mona (Ramona Milano) and Guido (Joe Parro), and younger sister Siena (Paige Evans). The film follows the family’s exploits over the course of the week as small dramas and moments of power play between the family members unfold. Although Ren is a transgender woman, the film is informed by her gender identity rather than being driven by it, which makes a refreshing change and marks out director Luis De Filippis, whose film is partially inspired by her own experiences, as a strong new voice in the world of independent filmmaking. The film has already picked up the Changemaker Award in Toronto - given for films that showcase a strong social message.

Nothing distils the essence of family relationships like a holiday. Renata (Carmen Madonia) has been living independently for some time, but has been persuaded to join her parents and her younger sister Sienna (Paige Evans) for a week away at a lakeside resort. An older brother, Anthony, is staying at home, as is a doting grandmother who has sent a gift of 100 each for the sisters to enjoy themselves with. What Renata doesn’t want to admit is that she needs this. She lost her job some time ago and is flat broke, struggling to pay her rent. The spectre of having to move back in with the others looms large, making this feel less like a break than a trial run, and adding to the overall pressure which stems in part from her mother’s determination that everybody is going to have a good time.

Many people have complicated feelings around family, but queer folks often experience a unique kind of emotional whiplash. Family can be the source of conflict and intimacy; isolation and familiarity; safety and danger. Those who know you best can hurt you most, especially when acute self-knowledge is necessary to your survival. These themes resonate quietly in “Something You Said Last Night,” the visionary feature debut of Canadian-Italian filmmaker Luis De Filippis. Loosely inspired by her own family, the film is an elegant exploration of a young person careening between connection and alienation while on a cramped family getaway.
Intimately tender and boisterously fun, “Something You Said Last Night” announces the arrival of a vital new voice in trans cinema.
Focused and precise, the story takes place over a distinct period of time — a week-long family vacation. The film begins and ends with a car ride, that universal site of familial strife and bonding.

For writers Kirsten King and Casey Rackham, “Crush” crucially moves past the coming out stage of queer life and into the part where those who have come out can be themselves.
The co-writers, who both identify as queer, started working on the project after meeting at BuzzFeed in 2018 and starting a queer writers group.
“We just felt there was a real gap in the culture for queer rom-coms that aren’t about coming out,” King told TheWrap. “I feel like life after the coming out moment is when stuff gets really good for queer people. Absolutely coming out stories have a place in queer cinema and are necessary and are helpful and are a part of what it means to be a queer person, but this film is so centered on the joy for us.”

In Hulu’s new queer rom-com “Crush,” actress Isabella Ferreira got the chance to fulfill a dream of hers from when she was young: playing the popular girl in school.
“I’ve always wanted to play the popular girl just because I never saw a lot of Latinas playing that when I was younger,” Ferreira told TheWrap in a recent interview about the original film, which is now streaming on Hulu. “That was always one of my dreams, [and] I was able to finally do it thankfully.”
“Crush” also stars Rowan Blanchard as Paige Evans, who has had a crush on Ferreira’s character Gaby since they were much younger. Paige isn’t necessarily as popular as Gaby, but an opportunity for the two to get to know each other more arises when Paige joins the track team, which Gaby co-captains with her twin sister Aj.
