An incisive discussion of the inspiring yet often troubled history of queer female representation on television.

Beandrea July

The Hollywood Reporter

The film makes a convincing case for why it is powerful when underrepresented audiences see fictional characters that both entertain and inspire.

While Zilkha's film isn't formally inventive, and it's less insightful on racial and gender diversity, it's an entertaining and informative watch that invites you to empathise with the women who participate in fandom.

The Jam Report

An enlightening work that shows how far queer representation has come, 'Queering the Script' also highlights how far we've still got to go.

What She Said

It's an eyeopener and for those struggling with identity and representation in a fairly white bread media landscape, a comfort.

Amelia Harvey

Screen Queens

Queering the Script ultimately bites off a little more than it can chew. The flow is disorientating, jumping between shows, themes and eras. Just when one theme gets interesting it's interrupted with a completely different one.

Rated: 3/5
