‘CIDA’ REVIEW: MATT FIFER’S OUTFT ENTRY IS A SEXY AND SEARG ACT OF GAY SELF-ANALYSIS
A sweet and poignant pictn of an gay terracial relatnship, Cida hums wh passn and love. Offerg an tersectnal approach to procsg trma, -swchg and the plexy of homosexual datg, Cida is rich ias and affectg executn.
VerdictDpe s stunt-film vibe, Cida is an affectg pictn of an terracial gay relatnship that effectively navigat them of trma and tersectnaly. It’s pathetic that gay Amerin moviegoers (at least this one) are still starved for reprentatn onscreen the mastream. But luckily, di are shoulrg that burn, pullg gay characters often relegated to the margs or si-plots to the center of the actn.
Matt Fifer and -director Kieran Mulre’s feature but “Cida” is a lh, erotic, and touchg New York-set drama that Fifer -directed, wrote, produced, eded, and starred , and ’s a standout example of a gay story done right. But also ppots the very specific plight of beg a gay lennial navigatg romance amid a Grdr-domated paradigm. Fifer, his screenplay and directn, steers clear om the fatalistic path of other films about gay men nontg their inti, where gay love eher fails (“Call Me By Your Name”) or gay love kills (“Brokeback Mounta”).
