OUR THOUGHTS:
On Swift Horses (2024) is a romantic drama set in the 1950s, directed by Daniel Minahan and based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl. It is a story of exploration and love, that defies sexuality and sexual orientation. Translation, everybody is fucking and loving, and a lot of same sex drama.

However, their relationship is strained by the arrival of Julius, Lee’s charismatic younger brother.
