WLW Film Reviews Posts
Spring is borderline remarkable simply because of how unremarkable it is. 5.1/10
Queer people deserve this sort of wish fulfillment, cliche romantic media. More than that, they deserve it to be good. The Substitute is here to be an entry into that all too rare club of quality queer wish fulfillment romances. 6.9/10
The Aerialist is a weaker follow-up to the first film, The Gymnast. And I thought The Gymnast was just okay. 5.2/10
Girl With Hyacinths is commonly described as “lesbian Citizen Kane.” And I totally agree with that assessment. This movie is lesbian Citizen Kane! 9.1/10
long Came Wanda is the first WLW film I’ve seen that includes the Covid-19 pandemic. And especially because this movie is very much a rom-com, I think maybe they shouldn’t have. 4.0/10
This is not the most exciting WLW film by any means. But if you need a sort of gentle relationship tragedy, Finding the Adolescence fits that bill. 5.6/10
More than 25 years after its release, Fire still holds up as a scathing critique and powerful piece of art. Director Deepta Mehta pulls no punches and takes no prisoners with Fire. 7.4/10
It was pretty disappointing watching a movie subtitled Lesbian Love and it being as overall straight as T-Bird at Ako is. 2.2/10
Writing this review in 2023 means I’ve not only seen lots of films like this but that the real-life attitude towards same-sex parenting has evolved much past what By Design portrays. 5.7/10
