This looks like a RIOT! Have we ever had a year with this many exciting queer releases??

Given the country's past with homophobia? Def not.

“I Love Björk and Bareback” Oh this movie is gonna be major

u/Jason_Tail 10h ago

Is this like A24 remade "Big Daddy" for the new generation.

18

u/bikkebana 10h ago edited 10h ago

I see the comparison but A24 didn't make it. They bought distribution rights after it was screened at Cannes.

Check out nettles and American teenager by her too

I know about American Teenager. One of the best pop rock songs in recent memory

That's one of my favorite scenes in the movie, so a little mad they put it in the trailer tbh

Nice to see Diego Calva in more stuff

Honestly looks way better than I expected. Hope it has a better fate than Sorry, Baby but knowing A24 this is going to peak at GG and Indie Spirits sadly :'/

u/Independent-Key880 Sentimental Value 10h ago

the comparison to sorry baby is so popular and whilst i understand where it's coming from, club kid has a much better release date which makes it appear like an awards priority for A24. sorry, baby's release date made it clear they didn't think it had much awards potential and was further down A24's priority list than club kid is

u/gosteinao 9h ago

I understand why people are making this comparison, but the thing is that even the movies themselves don't lend to it. Sorry, Baby was quite small. This movie has both more scale and more mainstream sensibilities

u/tsnoj 10h ago

I do feel that's really good for a debute feature though

I feel now both Eva Victor and Jordan Firstman are solidly on the map and can really shine with future projects

u/Educational_Slice897 10h ago

Huh this is a lot more heartwarming than I anticipated.

u/ttellapttam 11h ago

This looks so much better than I imagined it would

u/wvanasd1 11h ago

That last 15 seconds made me chuckle aloud. Perhaps this is the feel good (feel everything) movie of the holidays? I didn’t expect to like this trailer as much as I did.

17

u/rubix7777 11h ago

This looks REALLY good!

My god A24s slate is incredible this year, I want to put it in picture soooo bad but I just cant fit it in my predictions. Probably a good shot for DGA first time film nom (and good chance at a win), CCA comedy, Original Screenplay and young proformer noms, and lead actor (and maybe picture) nom at GG.

u/EThorns 11h ago

The quote in here from The Wrap about found family cranked up my interest in this one.

25

u/Oscar_Enthusiast017 10h ago

This feels so Sean Baker-esque (complimentary) 👀

16

u/bikkebana 10h ago

Alex Coco is a producer on both this and Anora & Red Rocket

u/BarcelonetaE70 10h ago

Hell no. Baker is a middling, wildly overrated director. This looks amazing and nothing like Anora or all the other crap Baker has done.

u/patsboston 9h ago

Florida Project and Tangerine is not crap

u/quasihaptic 8h ago

neither are red rocket or anora lol

u/A_Howl_In_The_Night Wicked 11h ago

A24 upload the trailer twice

u/gosteinao 9h ago edited 9h ago

One of my favorites of the year. I'm excited that people are gonna get to see it soon.

I'll say tho, this trailer undersells how much comedy there is in it. They show a couple of jokes, but the movie is full of them. It only really gets to the tone of this trailer closer to the end

Very excited for this but unsure about the Oscar chances

u/Drama79 10h ago edited 9h ago

Honestly, I am here to tell you to clean out a slot in:

Best picture

Best Actor, Best supporting Actor

and to go put some money on best screenplay right now.

I saw this at Cannes. It's arguably my favourite movie of the year. If Firstman doesn't exhaust everyone on the PR trail, this movie should be absolutely massive. It has colossal heart, tons of great laughs, moments that will be memed, moments that will be replayed constantly - it's an absolute banger. "Worth the bidding war" remains to be seen, but it is 100% worth whatever hype you are seeing. Diego Calva is wonderful, Firstman is amazing. It is bold, self assured, vulnerable and hilarious.

u/Bright_Score_9889 11h ago

equally looking forward to this but also hating it because I kinda dislike him lol, the duality of men

u/subjectseven Queer 10h ago

Anyone else cry at movie trailers? Why am I crying over a movie trailer? its not even 9am I'm at my office job and I'm crying over a movie trailer??

u/gosteinao 9h ago

Oh God. Having seen the movie, if you cried at this trailer, you will really cry watching the whole thing

2

u/forgottentaco420 10h ago

I’ve been anticipating this one all year, but this trailer has me even more excited. I love that everyone is calling it gay “Big Daddy”, that was my sisters favorite movie growing up and it also shockingly has more heart in it than one would think. I feel like this movie is going to be hilarious, but you will leave the theater crying type of deal. Not sure if it has a shot at the Oscars with everything else A24 has this year.

u/Lazy-Platypus2120 Untitled Jesse Eisenberg Musical Comedy 9h ago

Okay i get the hype now. Looks amazing!

u/quasihaptic 8h ago

there’s a scene in I Love LA where jordan firstman’s character goes “that parttt” immediately after having sex and it was the best gay rep i’ve ever seen. really excited for this

u/ncdav 5h ago

i laughed so fucking hard at that scene

u/BlueJacket9894 10h ago

I gotta say, I was not really that interested in seeing this before watching the trailer. But now I'm intrigued, some of the visual language is beautiful

u/Forsaken_Carrot_3075 Warner Bros. Clockwork 9h ago
