We're delighted to be tackling a new queer Canadian Indigenous film with Bretten Hannam's Wildhood (2021).

Featuring great teen performances and picturesque Nova Scotia landscapes, this road trip movie about a pair of two-spirited Mi'kmaw boys is beautifully shot by cinematographer Guy Godfree (Giant Little Ones). We have some quibbles with the leisurely pacing, the sex scene and the arbitrary use of subtitles, but we're happy to see another side of Atlantic Canadian represented onscreen.
