While I think that Claude’s character will be relatable for a lot of queer female viewers, it doesn’t save the fact that this isn’t a particularly good movie. All Over Me feels ultimately aimless. 5.5/10

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a small, personal movie. It is not about someone changing the world or experiencing some major historical event. It’s just a small scale, very human tragedy. It remains gripping due to its excellent writing directing and superb performances. 8.8/10
Bloomington didn’t blow me away with how good it was or anything. But it is significantly better than I expected and one of my favourite depictions of a WLW teacher/student relationship. 5.7/10
Featuring a well-developed love story and some truly top-notch cinematography, The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a stunning and moving film to behold. 9/10
Sure, Breaking the Girls has more lady kissing in it than most but overall, it’s like the literally bazillion other mediocre thrillers that make the same mistake of thinking more misdirects equals a better movie. 4.6/10
The Duke of Burgundy was a largely critically acclaimed, well-directed art film that unflinchingly explores a lesbian BDSM relationship and all the relationship facets thereof. Yet despite all this critical acclaim and beautiful cinematography, I wasn’t a huge fan.
The combination of her performance and beauty made Gia Angelina Jolie’s breakout performance and she totally deserved it. Jolie is downright exceptional in this. 8.2/10
There was a lot of unrealized potential here and that was really, really frustrating. Even though when I watched the movie, I sometimes spoke my idea of how to improve this movie aloud to my laptop, NONE of my suggestions were taken and the movie is worse for it. 3.7/10
Cracks is a good-looking take on an unoriginal premise. Whether or not this movie is for you is going to depend on how much you value visuals over script.
