As much as “Love Lies Bleeding” (2024), a movie about lesbian lovers and the intersection of crime and bodybuilding, enraptured audiences with its bold, sexual excellence, it does not tell the real story of queer women bodybuilders like Jeannette Feliciano, the subject of director Maris Curran documentary feature, “Jeannette” (2022), which does not sensationalize that intersection.

What does a woman who braved sitting on top of 7.5 million pounds of flammable propellant, going to space and being outnumbered by men fear? Being outed as a lesbian. Director and cowriter Cristina Costantini and cowriter Tom Maroney make a riveting biography about tennis player, physicist and astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman who went into space on June 18, 1983.
