  • "Not only does the film leave us talking, but it also has us wanting more of this world. It’s not a film you should miss out on viewing."

    Scott Gilliland | Upcoming On Screen

  • "What appears overtly as a quarrel between two lovers about their future is packed with layers of meaning that made me want to watch it repeatedly."

    Sarah Smith | Rocks Festivals Blogs

  • "Adams and Fleck-Byrne create a dynamic which convinces us these characters have an existing relationship and we’re only witnessing one moment of it."

    Maria Lattila | Film Stories

  • "The film stands out for its cinematography, visual effects, and art design, which perfectly evoke the superhero universe."

    Film Critical Space

  • "Born out of anger, 'Where Are All the Gay Superheroes?' delivers a remarkable exploration of queer visibility in our universe and beyond."
