‘Jim Queen’ Review: Bawdy French Animated Gay Comedy Tells Too Many Old Jokes
'Jim Queen' is a French animated comedy that explores stereotypes about gay life in Paris. Directed by Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen, the film follows the character Jim Parfait as he navigates a pandemic that turns gay men into straight ones. While the film offers a crass and humorous take on its subject, it ultimately falls short in delivering fresh and funny content.
