See what 3 lesbian BF’s get up too Down Under

Film Review: ‘Tom of Finland’

For a couple of years duelling biopics of Tom Of Finland were in the works, but this is the one that finally made it to the screen.

The route they’ve gone down is to make a fairly traditional, prestige biopic, which is perhaps an unexpected choice for a man who made his name for outsider homoerotic art that defied conventions of both sexuality and class. The film follows the life of Laaksonen, picking up his tale just […]
