Jim Queen Brashly Skews Gay Paris, Hitting Color Over Freshness
TL;DR
A Cannes review of Jim Queen, Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen’s French animated comedy about a gay Parisian lifestyle; the film leans into crude, South Park–style humor and an AIDS allegory as a pandemic turns gay men straight; while the animation pops with bright energy and some bold set pieces, the jokes feel familiar and less sharp than hoped, limiting its impact despite its provocative aims.
