The subtly of And Breathe Normally is impressive. There’s nuance, emotion and kindness in this cold and mundane universe. 6.8/10

Whatever edge Concrete Blondes has to it is completely absent in the jokes. And that’s why the film doesn’t work. This is a comedy full of punchlines far too safe and far too predictable. 4.7/10
More than being an involved story, To Kill the Beast is a celebration of what can be accomplished with the moving image. It’s all vibes all the time. 6.9/10
Do Revenge is a Netflix movie. And Netflix as an entire brand proves that things can be popular without being cool. Do Revenge just isn’t cool. 5.4/10
Love/Juice has one of the most fascinating, fucked up and tragic relationship dynamics I’ve seen in a WLW film. I’m blown away that this tiny little indie pulled off such dramatic heights. 7.4/10
Without budget, it is an uphill battle to make a good movie. Did Devil’s Cove brave that incline and struggle through its limited means to make a good piece of art? Nope! This movie is very bad! 1.8/10
Having the bisexual, butch Sister Thirteen as protagonist is extremely progressive and ultimately, a big win in the field of representation. But because this film was made in 1998, this representation is not without its problematic aspects. 5.6/10
A Wife Alone has a complete lack of novelty. Nothing about this movie is fresh, exciting or necessary. 3.2/10
I’m a big fan of how The Quietude depicts its fucked up content. They underplay it. There’s this sense that the characters in the film and perhaps the film itself don’t quite realize how fucked up this all is. And that juxtaposition makes it all the more disturbing. 7.5/10
