Tania Hussain is a seasoned and detail-oriented editor and journalist with more than a decade of experience with major media outlets and foundations.
Following groundbreaking queer romance films like Brokeback Mountain or Call Me by Your Name, audiences have been blessed with diverse love stories that challenge societal norms to explore deeper, more nuanced emotional complexities. While these films have captured the audience’s attention through raw vulnerability, On Swift Horses steps into this lineage to depict the push and pull between love and societal repression.
The two are very much alike and share an undeniable bond, but it’s less romantic than it is more about feeling out of place. Muriel is trapped in a nuclear structure with Lee, while Julius is trying to understand his desires and identity in a society that is not accepting of a gay man. As the two represent freedom for one another and their ideal of the “American dream,” they keep their secrets far from Lee.
There are also times when the messaging about sexual identity and repression is undercut by campiness or unintended humor — like the film’s finale, which doesn’t exactly complement the heaviness of Muriel and Julius’ respective arcs. Instead, it’s a sharp, almost disconnective contrast from the film’s more subdued and introspective moments.
