"The Strong Ones’ unforced naturalism and sense of intimate authenticity have made it a queer festival darling: The film picked up awards in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Rochester, at Outfest in L.A. and in Florida, where it netted not only the Best Narrative Feature prize at the OutShine fest but was named Best Foreign Language Film by the Florida Film Critics Circle. Distributor Breaking Glass Pictures is releasing the film stateside on VOD and DVD on Jan. 19."
