Lists of LGBTQ films can sometimes lean too heavily on the “G.” Stories about men falling in love with other men are plentiful — even in Latin America where such narratives come with their own complications about masculinity and homophobia. But that obscures the fact that stories about women falling in love with other women are just as ripe for epic films, be they romances or coming out tales.
To celebrate Lesbian Visibility Day we’ve compiled a list of ten films that capture the sheer breadth of lesbian-driven stories making it to the big screen in the United States and all through Latin America. From documentaries on one of the greatest lesbian musical icons of the twentieth century to love stories set in Chicago and featuring plenty of female luchadoras, find below something for every taste.
