Harry Styles’ new movie My Policeman just had its first screening at a secret showing in San Diego. Despite the audience agreeing to a review embargo, a few viewers have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the film and, um, on Mr. Styles’ backend.

My Policeman follows the story of a love triangle between two gay men, Tom and Patrick (Styles and David Dawson respectively) in the 1950s. Facing a hostile world, Tom marries a schoolteacher named Marion (Emma Corrin) and a dangerous love triangle develops between the three. The film opens later this year in theaters.
There is nudity …only arse cheeks ?

Most of the comments stem from a user identified as “My Policeman Updates” who claims to have loved the film, and that Styles more than held his own opposite Dawson and Corrin. The same user also says the film doesn’t feature frontal nudity (whomp, whomp), though Styles does show off his posterior.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Probably not going to be a film you watch with your parents,” the user cautioned.
News of the screening–and the cameo by Styles’ rear–has set Twitter on fire. Have a look at some of our favorite reactions thus far…

One of the reviews for My Policeman is Harry played a gay man a little too well. Oh buddy, come take a seat because I got a story to tell you.

Harry gives a very nuanced performance- the stress and fear of being found out is palpable and heart wrenching. He shows real talent and depth as an actor. pic.twitter.com/8DvFLLuU8a

Hollywood really is uninterested in queer movies/male relationship centered movies that aren’t about closeted folks and set at least forty years in the past and of course mostly played by “straight presenting”/“straight-ish presenting” performers.

These are still stories that need to be told, in order to expose the psychological trauma such lies manifest.
Larry McD
Yeah, because Birdcage was such a failure.
johnnysimpatico
You are so right. And I as a gay man who is still “coming out,” in ways, enjoy the coming out story, as well as the closeted gay man story as part of my process and relating to it. And absolutely shocking how few gay/lesbian/trans actors are cast. This is a shame on Hollywood and move casting directors all over, wonder when the outrage will hit activists in these communities as just another shaming of the LGBTQ community.

he doesn’t have a butt… what is this hype?
handy6924868
Amen!
Prax07
I’ve never gotten the hype over him. My fwb’s are way hotter and they’re nobody’s.

Take pride in that your flabby white buttocks clap every time you turn and pivot. Think of them as your cheering section.

Am I getting old or is Hollywood just bereft of new ideas.
“Sunday Bloody Sunday” was a film done decades ago about a love triangle during the troubles.
Just wondering what’s new here.

I’m of two minds on Hollywood’s portrayal of all things LGBTQ. On the one hand, I can count on one hand the amount of films, where I felt the gay character or relationship felt authentic. On the other hand, LGBTQ themed films targeted at mainly hetero audiences have helped make hetero people more supportive to their LGBTQ family and friends. So while I much prefer Star Trek Discovery charting new courses for queer actors and characters, I do think there is some merit in gay baiting films (and we should continue to support real queer artists tell real queer stories).
Anyone else listening to Torres’ new(ish) album?
okokwhatever
No, I don’t think anyone else is, Basils. That would require something a lot on here don’t have. And that is taste. If you can’t dance to it and play it at a gay club then they want nothing to do with it. Their loss.
basils_Herald
Gay men are also just men and are carrying around a lot of toxic masculinity or the baggage/scars from it. We need to support each other – even people who are just looking to escape their reality for a moment and dance – if we’re going to build the loving, queer family we deserve. Hope you check out Thirstier!

am I reading your comment correctly, you haven’t listened to it either.

Sounds bland and already has been done …

we’re happy for you.

I can’t say anything about the film yet, but I really enjoyed the novel and recommend it. It takes place in the 1950’s in England, and really illustrated the stigma of what being gay was like then.
GreekKeys
“Everyone’s obsessing about…” is so Mean Girls/Heathers. Everyone’s doing it. Why aren’t you? You’re not in. Because everyone is obsessing.
No. They’re not.
nm4047
I certainly hoping the photo shown here isn’t the one ‘everyone is obsessing’ over, cos it ain’t that great an arse, puny and not much to grab.
Jaquelope
What photo is that? The one of the guy in the swimming trunks? That wasn’t a picture of a bare bottomed man.
CityguyUSA
Everyone’s obsessing over a pancake ass? Now I’m posting too fast?

There is nothing to be said, really. Harry is cute, but the real attraction and the attention he is receiving is because he is a “maybe” as a gay man, so he may be????? As for his masculine attractiveness, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder…”
Kaalvers
I’m a fan of Harry’s and I’m a big believer in his potential, just as many actors become singers lately we’ve seen many singers become really good actors. About Harry’s buttocks,I know this isn’t the main topic but some of H’s fans can be pretty crazy haha ??and he’s not a very big ass man (which I prefer) but the photo was a joke, the angle of the photo It didn’t do any good, even I would have lost my ass at that angle haha, but I’m so proud of him and this amazing cast and I hope it’s a great movie!??

Styles’ has NOT got a butt worth even seeing, no less drooling over.
