When Moonlight won the Best Picture Oscar, it marked a turning point for films with LGBT themes. But what's next?

Below, we call out seven new films that are already garnering acclaim. Of course, nothing could fill the Chiron-shaped spot in our hearts, but each offers something special to viewers—and, hopefully, to the Academy.

"Call Me By Your Name"

Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of André Aciman's 2007 novel depicts the affair between an American teen (Timothée Chalamet) and his father's research assistant (Armie Hammer) against the lush backdrop of the Italian Riviera.

Guadagnino has said he had "no interest" in shooting an explicit love scene between Hammer and Chalamet, but the book's infamous "peach" scene is reportedly still intact.

"Beach Rats"

In Eliza Hittman's followup to 2013's It Felt Like Love, an aimless Brooklyn teen faces pressure from his mom to find a girlfriend. But Frankie is more interested in gay chat rooms and cam sites—and begins hooking up with older men while starting a relationship with a girl.

"There are more moments than not when it feels like it has slipped into full documentary mode," wrote The News & Observer.

"God's Own Country"

Francis Lee's directorial debut is being billed as a northern English take on Brokeback Mountain, with John (Josh O'Connor), a melancholy sheep farmer, starting an intense affair with Gheorghe (Alec Secareanu), a Romanian migrant worker.

The Hollywood Reporter lauded

God's Own Country as "a rigorously naturalistic drama that yields stirring performances from the collision between taciturn demeanors and roiling emotional undercurrents."

"Women Who Kill"

A mystery-thriller-comedy hybrid, Women Who Kill follows Morgan and Jean, exes from Brooklyn who collaborate on a murder-themed podcast. But their macabre hobby might have put them in contact with a real-life killer.

The New York Times praied the dry humor and deadpan acting of star Ingrid Jungermann, who also wrote and directed, and called Women Who Kill a comedy "that plays it droll and is all the funnier for it."

Opened July 26.

"Close-Knit"

A heartwarming film from Japanese director Naoko Ogigami, Close-Knit has been praised for depicting an alternative family structure in a country that cherishes conformity. Neglected by her mother, young Tomo gains a new maternal figure when her uncle Makio brings home his girlfriend, a transgender woman named Rinko.

The Filmstage praised Close-Knit as "a quietly subversive bittersweet triumph."

The Wound's received critical acclaim a warm critical reception, including with Variety's description of it as "a hard-edged but beautifully wrought study of clashing Xhosa models of masculinity."
