In the heart of Paris's gay scene, Jim reigns supreme: the ultimate Gym Queen, influencer, and object of universal thirst. But when a bizarre virus called Heterosis starts turning gay men straight, his reign ends overnight. Unfollowed, abandoned, and stripped of status, Jim is left with just one unlikely ally: Lucien, a devoted scrawny twink with more loyalty than clout. Together, they plunge into the queer chaos of the Marais, chasing a rogue doctor rumored to have a cure. Bold and irreverent JIM QUEEN is a wild ride through identity, image, and the absurd lengths we'll go to stay seen -- and stay queer.

Tara Brady Irish Times 20h
4/5
Fashioned in the anarchic style of Rick and Morty, the film’s musical flourishes and takedown of gay and straight cliches are always amusing, if old-school end of the pier. Go to Full Review
Richard Lawson The Hollywood Reporter 1d
Too often, Jim Queen feels like a 101 primer for straight people, albeit one that is plenty blunt about particular sexual mechanics. Gay audiences will likely crave more nuance and originality. Go to Full Review
Tim Grierson Screen International 1d
Boasting fetching tunes and appealing animation, Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athane’s feature directorial debut may be a little thin narratively but is otherwise an amusing time. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 1d
An unexpectedly energizing portrait of activism. Go to Full Review

Despite some fun streaming-level animation and good one-liners, this movie would not fly in English. Someone would certainly make it, but only the Francois sheen really differentiates it from the plethora of over-the-top "gay" films before it. Go to Full Review
