AWOL has an unsatisfactory ending to an average story. At no point did the film rise about being exceedingly average.
WLW Film Reviews Posts
Zero Chou’s Spider Lilies is a film that is absolutely greater than the sum of its parts. 7.6/10
I have so little to say about All About E. It’s just dull overall. 4.8/10
If you’re fine with years’ long lesbian seduction and literary discussions used as foreplay, absolutely give Vita & Virginia a try. 8.3/10
A list of all six WLW movies I know of with transgender lead characters.
Despite its run time being in the 90 minute range, the film felt slow and far too long. It’s frustrating because I think Replay could be an interesting movie if it just did more. But it didn’t. 4.9/10
I found Almost Adults charming and funny but it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s incredibly easy for me to see myself in these characters. 6.6/10
I’ve seen a lot of queer movies in my time clearly made for a straight audience. That’s nothing new. What is new is the lengths to which Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story went to cater to a straight audience. 4.4/10
While the pacing gets iffy in the third act, this is a character and a story I remained invested in until the ending credits rolled. 8.1/10
Compulsion has nothing going for it. The focus of this movie is being sexy so character work and story are almost non-existent. But it’s also not even that sexy or extreme. 3.9/10
