Okay, so Sundance! Maybe you noticed I was gone all last week? I was in sunny Utah, land of Mormon underwear and wretched anti-trans bills, for Robert Redford's little annual movie festival. Over the course of the fest -- including screeners I saw before I left, movies I saw while there, and movies I watched online once I got home -- I watched fifty-one movies total. That's a lot of movies! And so far I have reviewed... three? Yes, three. These things take time. I'm not a machine. More will be coming this week but first I need to link to the three reviews that've come already. So here those are.
First up I wrote down my thoughts on Steven Soderbergh's latest, the expirimental haunted house flick Presence -- read it right here. It stars Lucy Liu and Julia Fox (in the vaunted role of "haunted house real estate agent" ) among others, and Soderbergh's trick (he's always gotta have a trick) is the ghost is the camera. I had mixed feelings on it. So go read about them!
Next up another horror movie (no surprise there) but one I was much more excitable over (indeed I shared the poster for this one before I even left) -- a first-time feature from director Chris Nash called In a Violent Nature, which flips the script on the Slasher Movie by shooting the entire thing from the murderer's perspective. Read my review right here. This will be hitting Shudder sooner rather than later so stay tuned for more on it when that happens. But it's funny -- it wasn't until I was writing the second review that I realized both this and Presence both pull such a similar trick, showing us the story from the "villain"'s perspective. And yet I think the first-time filmmaker beat Soderbergh at the game? Anyway...
... moving on to the movie I was most looking forward to at the fest -- click here to read my thoughts on Love Lies Bleeding, the ass-kicking bodybuilder noir from Saint Maud director Rose Glass, starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brien as lovers who get all entangled up in a hyper-violent crime-spree -- I shared the trailer a few weeks back and I am super happy to say that this one totally lived up to my expectations. I fuckin' loved it. As I start my review with you should be thinking "Bound meets Mandy."

were there any movies you watched that had memorable/significant male nudity?
Not a ton! There's a lot of gay sex in Sebastian. I think everybody has already seen Dylan O'Brien naked in Ponyboi, those pictures have already made the rounds. There is a TON of Sasquatch Penis in Sasquatch Sunset haha. There was some male nudity in two two trans narratives Layla and Desire Lines but nothing I found especially erotic. Sebastian is probably your best bet on that front.
Oh wait I forgot one! Sebastian Stan shows his dick again (and this time it's a much clearer view) in A Different Man
OMG!!!Thanks for the info!
