This is harmless, indulgent wish fulfillment that puts a lesbian relationship as something that spans multiple universes and timelines . I so badly want to share in that joy. But this is not a well-executed project on almost any level. 4.7/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
This is a great little time capsule of 90s lesbian culture both in its small scale production and its larger scale optimism about lesbians breaking through into the mainstream and being largely normalized. 6.0/10
I thought Guardami was going to be tragedy porn meets actual porn. As it turns out, the film didn’t even deliver on the tragedy. 2.0/10
ill Two Dash One One stand up against the all-time great films about death and the afterlife? Maybe not. But especially for a small budget indie, I really welcomed a more novel approach to the stories one can tell under those conditions. 5.7/10
This is a movie I wish I enjoyed more. But sometimes there’s a gulf between watching a movie as a general thing and watching a sapphic movie. Luxurious Bone works as an overall movie. But if you watch it as I did, with a focus towards the sapphic element, the film will likely disappoint. 4.9/10
Let’s Meet Halfway is a technically proficient small indie that does the damnedest with what little it had to work with. I’m going for forget all about it by the end of this week. 5.4/10
acques Audiard took a series of big swings with Emilia Pérez. And he struck out on almost all of them. 4.5/10
I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10
As a biopic, I find Marinette slightly below average. I think the film lacks focus and doesn’t do enough justice to the character at its centre. 4.9/10
The Midwife’s Tale is something new in WLW movie canon, a bedtime story. And it’s not just new, but well executed and not-so-subtly radical in its themes of queerness, feminism and reproductive health in medieval and modern times.
