As part of a whole swath (like, three categories worth) of films they put up for pride month, Criterion Channel is screening "Tomboy", which is The Other Movie directed by Céline Sciamma (who also made "Portrait of a Lady on Fire").
This movie was highly praised on release and got another round of attention when Lady On Fire came out, but it is weirdly hard to watch in the streaming age; at one point we actually just went and paid actual money to one of those pay-to-rent streaming services, only to discover after rental that the only available version was French-only (this may be a Canada-specific problem). So this might be your one chance to watch.
(Other queer things that jumped out to me from this month's lists: "I've Heard the Mermaids Singing", "Fresh Kill", "Desert Hearts" and uh, "Basic Instinct" [but not in Canada]. Also some documentaries: "The Times of Harvey Milk" [I can endorse this one], "Paris is Burning" [I didn't finish this, but it amazingly captures an irreproducible time and place], "Shinjuku Boys" [I'll be watching this one]).
The premise of Tomboy:
—as far as I know anyway (again, my attempts to watch it have failed): "Tomboy" is about a 10-year-old girl who upon moving to a new town, either whimsically identifies themself as a boy or is mistaken for a boy and decides to just roll with it, and no one ever thinks to ask otherwise so it just sticks. As far as I know the movie plays this entirely straight (so to speak) and never commits to the question of whether this is a trans story, or a butch lesbian formative story, or whether it is meaningless in the first place to attempt to place labels on any of these points in the space of gender performance
