Carmen and Lola is an above average coming-of-age film. The few problems I have with it don’t overrule the positives of this movie. It has great performances and characters I care about. Carmen and Lola feels alive as a movie. 7.5/10

Carol is a beautiful movie that appealed to both the lesbian in me and the film snob in me. Anchored by great performances and a great director, Carol is one of few mainstream lesbian movie in which the lesbians get to be happy. 9.4/10
Go Fish is a film that was the peak of trendy back in 1994 and is now becoming something of a period piece. It is interesting to see this very 90’s depiction of lesbian culture and fascinating to see the ways the culture has changed and the ways it has stayed the same. 6.1/10
Don’t watch this movie. There’s no reason to. There are no redeeming features about this movie. It’s not even the sort of staggeringly, remarkably bad or fun bad. It’s just bland and without talent. I regret watching it. 1.5/10
For someone just discovering the genre, Imagine Me & You is a really excellent choice for an early feature as well as one to revisit when you’re feeling down and just need something that makes you feel warm and happy. 9.4/10
The Firefly is a well-made movie that achieved what it set out to do. However, I don’t want to ever watch it again because it is sad. 6.1/10
It’s mislabeled as a comedy but as a drama with some light comic relief, The Feels generally succeeds.
Anyone remember those overly long, brutal Peter Griffin vs. Chicken fight sequences in Family Guy? That’s basically what this movie is. Except Catfight is better because it was queer ladies and also isn’t Family Guy. 5.8/10
As a WLW/lesbian film, Sand Dollars only partially succeeds. As a 90 minute advertisement for the Domincan Republic, it is much more successful. 6.2/10
In the months that have passed between me seeing Frauensee and writing this review, the only thing that sticks in my mind about this movie is how spectacularly average it is. I have never seen a movie that’s so aggressively 5/10. It is a remarkably unremarkable film.
