There are positives to Elvis & Madonna but even those positives come out of a place of there just not being enough trans narratives so I’ll take what I can get. 5.4/10

The best decision Dee Rees made with Bessie was to leave the character on a high note. 8.4/10
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a WLW movie that has a bigger disparity between the quality of its writing and the quality of its directing than Take Me For a Ride. 5.0/10
While I understand some of the reasons Surrender wasn’t up to par (most of those reasons being money), at the end of the day it still ends up with Surrender not being a good movie. 2.0/10
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie is a gloriously gay, surreal visual treat of a film with themes of adulthood and female liberation. 9.1/10
My best guess about what The Sex Monster is trying to “say” is that women can’t have a normal relationship to sexuality. I hope I’m wrong on that but that’s very much what the film reads as. 5.0/10
The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant is fantastic. A great script, great cast and excellent direction makes this an easy transition from stage to screen. 9.2/10
Do I Love You? turned out exactly how the filmmakers had in mind. Whether or not the movie is for you, it is a movie that’s certain of its identity and does what it set out to do. 5.3/10
