The LGBTQ quota is quite low here but it’s a memorable film, featuring some compelling performances by its mother and daughter pair, Umbra Colombo and Victoria Castelo Arzubialde. It explores the dynamic between a mother and a daughter, both coping with the loss of their husband/father, and how they pick up the pieces with a friend from the past.

The best of the features I previewed is “Julia and the Fox,” an Argentinian drama from filmmaker Inés María Barrionuevo (who also wrote the script). As a documentary filmmaker, Tomer Heymann knows he has an intriguing center and never lets his camera waver. Agassi starts off likable but eventually disintegrates before our eyes in drug use and narcissism. The film follows his career and personal life, including his complicated relationship with his mother. “Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life” charts the titular Agassi, one of the best known male adult performers in the world. It’s an interesting concept for a while about how we see others but it eventually runs out of steam. Sometimes Peter finds himself dating a woman and other times a man. After a perfect date ends abruptly, he turns to another site to start anew and begins dating a woman who changes physical appearance and race frequently. John Cerrito’s “The Way You Look Tonight” stars Nick Fink as Peter, a young man who has turned to online dating.

Opening next week, the Atlanta Film Festival has its usual Pink Peach track, made up of six narrative and documentary films, as well as short films and some episodic series to boot.

Between the Atlanta Film Festival and “Sorry Angel,” LGBTQ fare is plentiful the next few weeks in local cinemas.
