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
While I think that Claude’s character will be relatable for a lot of queer female viewers, it doesn’t save the fact that this isn’t a particularly good movie. All Over Me feels ultimately aimless. 5.5/10
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a small, personal movie. It is not about someone changing the world or experiencing some major historical event. It’s just a small scale, very human tragedy. It remains gripping due to its excellent writing directing and superb performances. 8.8/10
Bloomington didn’t blow me away with how good it was or anything. But it is significantly better than I expected and one of my favourite depictions of a WLW teacher/student relationship. 5.7/10
Featuring a well-developed love story and some truly top-notch cinematography, The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a stunning and moving film to behold. 9/10
Sure, Breaking the Girls has more lady kissing in it than most but overall, it’s like the literally bazillion other mediocre thrillers that make the same mistake of thinking more misdirects equals a better movie. 4.6/10
The Duke of Burgundy was a largely critically acclaimed, well-directed art film that unflinchingly explores a lesbian BDSM relationship and all the relationship facets thereof. Yet despite all this critical acclaim and beautiful cinematography, I wasn’t a huge fan.
