After doing the film-festival rounds since 2018’s Sundance — where director Jeremiah Zagar won a Next Innovator award, presented to him by RuPaul — queer comingof- age tale We the Animals finally arrives in UK cinemas this June. Independently made on a shoestring budget, it’s an arresting, beautifully shot film that focuses on a mixed ethnicity (half-white, half-Puerto Rican) family living in upstate New York.
