GINGER SNAPS

A werewolf coming-of-age tale about two sisters on the brink of womanhood, Ginger Snaps has a complex subtextual queerness: While neither Brigitte (Emily Perkins) nor Ginger Fitzgerald (Katharine Isabelle) are expressly written as LGBTQ+, there’s plenty of queer meaning packed into the latter’s lycanthropic transformation. The film has been read alternately as a trans allegory, a bisexual bildungsroman, and a lesbian classic, but however you choose to interpret the story, there’s so much fun to be had between the delicious dialogue and fantastic practical effects.
