BQFF Roundup: The Misandrists; Witches, Faggots, Dykes & Poofters; and My Days of Mercy
We’re past halfway through the 2018 Brisbane Queer Film Festival, and so far I’ve been lucky enough to see three films from the program – one disappointing, one decent, one exceptional.

The Exquisite, Oh-so-extra Melodrama of Riverdale
