The medium chosen to tell this story and the quality of directing brings down Stud Life’s vibrant, likeable and realistic protagonist. 5.1/10

I didn’t hate spending 86 minutes in this story. But there’s simply more negatives to the film that I can pinpoint than positives. I like Love Island’s energy. But really, that’s about it. 4.5/10
I thought I didn’t like these Christmas movies because they’re cliche. Turns out, I just didn’t like them because they’re all straight. Under the Christmas Tree gives me and other queer women a sweet, cliche romance that allows us to fantasize or imagine ourselves in. 6.6/10
The visuals can’t really add much to such a character-heavy story. Or maybe there’s a way they could, but that wasn’t present in Navidad. 5.3/10
Fishnet is a pretty painful one to sit through. It’s cheap, cliche, unkind and lacks any clear audience. 2.0/10
Nice though it is to look at, Bonnie & Bonnie doesn’t bring much new to the gay couple crime spree subgenre. 5.8/10
This is a well-shot movie with a genuinely interesting psychosexual dynamic between its leads. But don’t worry, there’s still tits aplenty as well. 6.9/10
If nothing else, Capital I is a singular viewing experience. It’s inscrutable, pretentious and very low budget. 2.3/10
The War Widow undoubtedly looks like a 1976 TV movie. But within that framework, there is a sweet, small yet quietly radical romance. 6.3/10
