Conteúdos(1)
Uma das mais célebres e influentes figuras da cultura gay do século XX. Após deixar o serviço militar no exército finlandês, Touko Laaksonen vai ter de lidar com a pressão de se casar e com a constante perseguição de que os homossexuais são vitimas, quer por parte da polícia e do governo quer da população em geral. As obras que desenhou e que secretamente foi guardando, começam a ser difundidas pelo mundo. O seu talento, apesar de não reconhecido por todos, foi porta estandarte de movimentos que lutaram, ao longo de décadas, pelos direitos fundamentais de igualdade sem distinção de sexo. (Cinemundo)

Tom of Finland has undoubtedly an unmissable value in that it presents the life and work of a controversial artist who is not so well known in this country and depicts the conditions and perception of sexual minorities in Finland and California at that time. But from a dramatic point of view, I found the film somewhat empty and lacking any downright memorable or powerful scene. It wasn't even as shocking and overt as one might initially think. A mediocrely made biopic, unfortunately nothing more.

The biographical drama Tom of Finland is a beautiful cinematic tribute to a man who refused to conform to mainstream society, never gave up his aspirations, and became a visual artist who greatly enriched the gay community with his sensual drawings. Touko Laaksonen tackled topics that shocked and helped open up social issues that had been taboo until then. I really liked the visuals in this movie. (75%)

This is definitely not a film for everyone, but I think Tom of Finland was an interesting person and his drawings deserve cult status because they're recognizable and very targeted. The film is quite successful in deciphering the individual motivations that led Tom to express himself through drawing.
