Reviews

Queer as Fk: Bizarre Short Films** has received a mixed yet generally appreciative response from both critics and audiences. On IMDb, the film holds a niche appeal with a rating around 6.5/10, reflecting its cult status among viewers who value avant-garde queer cinema. Critics from specialty LGBTQ+ outlets have praised its boldness and creative storytelling, with some highlighting John Ort’s compelling presence as a uniting element across the shorts. For example, a review from AfterEllen noted, "The raw intensity and unapologetic honesty make this a standout in queer independent film." However, more mainstream platforms such as Rotten Tomatoes do not have a formal score for this title, indicating limited widespread critical coverage. Some reviewers criticize the anthology for its uneven pacing and challenging content that may not appeal to all audiences, as it intentionally eschews a traditional narrative structure. Despite this, the film is often commended for its artistic bravery and contribution to queer cinema, securing its place as a valuable, if polarizing, piece of LGBTQ+ film history.
