While I absolutely applaud this film on the bigger picture of its genre and existence, it doesn’t hold up as well when you take a closer look. 5.7/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
You Can Live Forever is a perfectly good movie. I wish it was great. But not all art is great. There’s still a solid idea and good performances here. 6.7/10
The never ending presence of the male gaze really tanks this movie. There’s some deep and major family drama in the film. But it constantly comes second to depicting women as sexy. 3.7/10
Sword of Trust really works because of how well everyone understands the universe and the movie that they’re in. This feels like more of a collaboration between filmmaker and actors than most scripted films. 6.8/10
There’s so many issues of taste and morals worthy of critique in Helga, She Wolf of Stilberg. But my main issue with the film is how half-assed it is. If you’re gonna go there, go there! Make a movie too extreme for me to watch. Helga wasn’t that at all. 3.2/10
Can I say that this dialogue-free film kept my attention for its entire run time? I absolutely cannot. 5.4/10
If nothing else, Men Not Allowed is one of very few WLW movies with a theme song. Western cinema, take note. If you’re gonna make a bad movie, at go balls to the wall on the editing. And give it a theme song. I think every WLW movie should have a theme song. 3.1/10
Two Mothers for Zachary is a well-meaning but undoubtedly dated TV movie. Its approach to gay rights is primarily to show gay oppression without victory. 6.4/10
Unfortunately, a good softcore film is still an at best, average film. For that reason, I can’t give it higher than a mixed review. But if you are looking for a lesbian softcore flick, Coming Out is a way better option that any of the trashy 70s stuff. 5.0/10
I can at least respect when a movie swings big and misses spectacularly. Listen isn’t that. It’s more of a film that does the bare minimum to hold together and make a quick buck. 3.8/10
