Press

""I'm in love with Edgar Allan Poe doesn’t wear its queerness on its sleeve. While queer, the characters aren’t defined by the fact and just are. Queerness is ingrained into the journey they take throughout the film, the subtlety that shows the craftsmanship of its creators. As queer films slowly move on to a new era, those like I'm in love with Edgar Allan Poe lead the charge, revealing new stories that we can tell. Having not to prove or shout out our queerness, and being able to exist, wouldn’t that be a cause for our Queer r?anfare?""
