On Swift Horses (USA, 2025) will open the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m., at Regal Cinemas South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach).
Life pushes some to seek security, others to surrender to chance. Daniel Minahan’s adaptation of Shannon Pufahl’s novel explores both paths with empathy, capturing the tension between stability and risk. In 1950s San Diego, newlyweds Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Lee (Will Poulter) settle into domestic life, while Lee’s brother, Julius (Jacob Elordi), drifts to Las Vegas, drawn to poker and a connection with Henry (Diego Calva). As Muriel secretly gambles and Julius embraces his own transgressions, their lives mirror each other in unexpected ways. On Swift Horses finds rapturous beauty in the décor and accoutrements of the era. Yet what lingers most is the power of its characters’ yearnings, whether secret or boldly declared. This is a story about risking everything for love, only to gain self-knowledge along the way. On Swift Horses is a beautifully crafted tale of longing, danger, and self-discovery.
An afterparty at The Rum Room will take place after the screening.
