That scene between Anne and Loïs in Knife+Heart hurts because Anne finally wants closeness after spending so much time treating Loïs like she’d always be there.
And Loïs knows it.
That’s the part I find painfully real.
Sometimes the person you love doesn’t leave because the love disappeared.
They leave because being loved by you started feeling like being taken for granted.
Gay relationships aren’t automatically more emotionally mature just because both people understand what it’s like to be outsiders.
Do you think Loïs stopped loving Anne, or did she finally start loving herself more?
If you’re a gay man who loves horror, these queer movies bring something darker.
Forget the usual romance lists. These go into fear, obsession, violence, repression, desire and things that should probably stay buried.
