During the entirety of Verónica, I kept thinking of movies that did the same things as this movie except they were done 20 years ago and to better effect.

The Four-Faced Liar mostly fails because it fails to walk that fine line of dramedy. It’s too quirky to be truly dramatic but far too depressing to be a comedy. 3.8/10
Disobedience is a pretty heavy movie to sit through. It does end hopefully but man, the journey it takes to get there can be pretty rough. It is absolutely a good movie, though. 8.4/10
I love WLW and I also enjoy watching a good murder so Lizzie should’ve been a movie for me. Too bad it took itself so damn seriously and failed to be anything other than dull. 5.8/10
The screenplay of Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right is the star of the show. It finds universal truths about family in a movie about gay parenting. 8.6/10
Objectively, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is good. Great, even. Significantly better critics than me all agree this movie is a masterpiece and I’m not going to dispute that. 9.5/10
Not every WLW movie has to be life changing but Concussion left so little impact on me as a viewer that I might as well have not seen it at all. 5.7/10
Featuring a brilliant cast headed by Lily Tomlin, Paul Weitz’s Grandma is a funny and heartfelt movie whose main character is a lesbian senior citizen. 8.8/10
