With his performances as Aphrodite Banks, Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Candyman) has a place among London's celebrated drag artists. One night after a show, he steps out to get some cigarettes and is brutally attacked by a man (George MacKay, 1917), out with a gang of his friends. Although Jules is able to recover physically, he withdraws from the outside world, traumatized. Months later, he recognizes his attacker by chance in a gay sauna. Without make-up and wrapped only in a towel, Jules is able to approach the other man incognito and find out who he is. He begins an affair with the closeted Preston, with a plan to take his revenge.

Critics Consensus

Sexually charged and riddled with tension, Femme redresses the noir genre and may leave audiences biting their nails to the nub.

Manuel Betancourt

Los Angeles Times

Within that funhouse mirror of an erotic-thriller premise, “Femme” proves to be a gorgeously mounted meditation on queer and queered performance.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

As a thriller it absolutely works, but as a film that speaks to a very real thing, it's even better.

San Jose Mercury News

The uncompromising drama wrings your emotions dry and challenges your own ideas of what is right and just.

Rated: 4/4

Femme is both mean and tender.

Arts Fuse

Up to that point, the film was ambivalent enough to be genuinely provocative. But finessing the depiction of a toxic romance can lead to some ugly places. Femme proves incapable of thinking outside of the genre box.

“Femme” (2023) is as close to “The Night Porter” as any film may get in the twenty-first century, and it only brushes the hem of its garment.

The acting in this was great and they made you feel a lot of the tension given the situations. It was also shot well but the story didn't click all the way and the ending left me feeling like it was unfinished.

Total garbage. Ignore all positive audience reviews ( I wish I had). This is one of those plotless movies where nothing happens except a lot of anal sodomy. Just imagine a revenge thriller that has no revenge and isn't thrilling. You have been warned!!!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
