I, The Worst of All is so subtle I’m not even sure how sapphic it is. It’s more of a feminist film about how women are capable of thought and poetry. Though the poetry in question does have some distinct undertones of sapphic yearning. 7/10

Gornick’s confidence in centralizing her experiences and thoughts is admirable. But of the three films of hers I’ve seen, Tick Tock Lullaby is the weakest. And after three movies of Gornick’s thoughts, it veers away from highlighting a marginalized voice as it becomes so specifically about Lisa Gornick as a person. 5.0/10
Ashamed has ambitions of being artsy and profound. Unfortunately, such ambitions were lost on me. I spent most of the movie just trying to keep straight what was happening. 3/10
The Sleepover does well on a smaller scale but it can’t exactly hang with the big dogs of high budget and ambition larger scale movies. 5.6/10
The amount of poly films I’ve seen probably lessens my regard for this specific one. I’ve seen the beats of this story many times before. And Before We Grow Old’s take on those beats is a particularly boring one. 4.8/10
Walk With Me is about as interesting as its title. If this movie was a colour, it would be beige. 5.2/10
Blue finds itself in the quiet moments, and is happy to linger there and construct this gentle romance and the tragedy that comes with it. 6.9/10
Most sapphic movies that are bad and cheap are just boring. Butterfly Crush ain’t boring. It’s weird as hell and so incompetent it almost reaches the uncanny valley Yeah, the core love story here is between a man and a woman. But please, let me have this one. I need it. 2.1/10
Unexpected was almost exactly what I expected for a German TV movie about a lesbian romance. No real surprises here! 5.8/10
My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10
