We wrap up Pride Month 2018 with the deservedly beloved Bound. Even as queer storytellers gain more opportunities and indie works become more widely available, films like Bound are still a relative rarity: a genre film (in this case, neo-noir) that happens to have a queer relationship at the heart of it rather than being a film about The Gay Experience. With a happy ending and everything.

Also it's like, really good. Super fucking good. Maybe one of the Wachowski Sisters' best, despite being their debut. With sex scenes they hired an actual lesbian to choreograph and everything! Apparently nobody ever thought of that before.
