Paapa Essiedu owns the screen from the moment Jordan steps out of the club. Femme then does something far more interesting than simply placing a femme gay man in danger: it turns the codes of the masculine crime thriller against themselves. Ng Choon Ping and Sam H. Freeman’s gay short film is tense, stylish and exceptionally well acted, with Harris Dickinson making threat and attraction disturbingly difficult to separate.
