August at Twenty-Two came too late in the mumblecore subgenre to be a classic. But even if it had a release ten years earlier, I doubt it would’ve been then either. 5.5/10

This is a really forgettable film with a standard premise and below average execution. 3/10
while in the grand scheme of all movies, maybe S&M Sally isn’t an all-time great, it’s still a pretty solid feature that is funny, knowledgeable about BDSM and shows continued growth from creator, Michelle Ehlen. 5.8/10
In 600 WLW movies, I’ve seem so absolute garbage. And Don’t Look at Me That Way isn’t on that level. But that doesn’t mean there’s enough here to recommend either. 4.6/10
Backspot has a lot of strengths. Primarily, the rendering of its main character and the incredible performance from Jacobs. But the film is a touch uneven and unfocused. 5.8/10
She: Their Love Story’s 2012 released. And it feels like a lifetime. So much of how this film depicts lesbians is rigid, dated and relies far too heavily on overused tropes. 3.1/10
Heartland is just the next victim of my WLW film burnout era. While the film is competent, there isn’t enough here that’s unique and memorable to me. 5.3/10
The relationship between the two leads covers a lot of ground, much of it toxic and not necessarily related to sexuality. But it’s the very complexity of this relationship that makes Beanpole such an excellent film. 8.8/10
This movie is so bad that it made me respect cinema as a genre more, with the notable exception of The White Book which reconstructed my conceptualization of what a truly terrible film looks like. 1.4/10
while I personally found Suddenly interesting and engaging, I don’t think that opinion holds much weight as I can’t even fully justify it to myself. 5.7/10
