This is a confident debut, clearly extensively researched, put together with great care and makes for a welcome addition to the canon of queer period dramas.

Lilies look is reminiscent the cinema of Merchant Ivory, especially Maurice, but Seefried’s tonal and genre shifts are jarring leaving the viewer feeling as traumatized as the onscreen characters—but, perhaps, that’s exactly the point.

Lilies Not For Me is a gut-wrenching drama that revisits a neglected, dark period in queer history through the hazy lens of a complex love triangle.
