1. Personal Best
Personal Best is a American drama film written, produced, and directed by Robert Towne. The movie stars Mariel Hemingway and real-life track star Patrice Donnelly, along with Scott Glenn as the coach of the track team. Chris Cahill is a young track-and-field athlete who competes unsuccessfully in the U.S. Olympic trials. She meets a more experienced competitor, Tory Skinner, and their friendship evolves into a love-related relationship. The two are part of a group of women trying to qualify for the American track-

It’s been a great year for sweaty, sexy, gay sports movies – for noticing bodies in action. Love Lies Bleedinggave us a queer bodybuilder and a messy, visceral lesbian intimacy, and Challengers was the bisexual tennis love triangle we never knew we needed.

Biopics
C.O.G. (, US). year-old Jonathan Groff is miscast as a gullible scholar who takes a job in rural Oregon. He’s abused by the locals in a string of triggery scenes. From a story by David Sedaris.
Christopher and His Kind (, UK). Matt Smith muddles through this bland Isherwood biopic. The first half is Cabaret without the songs. The second half is a sad gay romance.
Howl (, US). Allen Ginsberg’s famous poem inspires a silly obscenity trial. James Franco’s monotone performance removes all sex and danger from the poetry. Watch Kill Your Darlingsinstead.
Kenneth Williams: Fantabulousa! (, UK). Michael Sheen plays gay comic Kenneth Williams. Sheen gets the camp public persona right. The script is less convincing in scenes of his sad private life.
Little Ashes (, Spain). Federico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dali wrestle with their sexuality in conservative Spain. Robert Pattinson tries to ground the eccentric Dali. But florid monologues, slopp
