Liberty’s Secret is a movie made by and starring Musical Theatre Kids. Each of the cast and the movie itself is very earnest, very perky and a little amateur. But of course, they’re not Musical Theatre Kids. They’re Musical Theatre Adults so that’s less charming still. 3.1/10

Sonja is ultimately a competent but unremarkable coming of age film. 5.2/10
The Hours is a great and heartbreaking movie. Full of great dialogue, great performances and difficult themes, it is an emotional, sometimes heartbreaking film. 9/10
Young and Wild is not a perfect film. I certainly have mixed opinions on it. But for all its faults, one I am certain of is that this film would have been 50 times worse had it not been directed by a woman. 6.2/10
Alto is a flat, dull movie lacking so much originality that it’s actually sapping my ability to come up with a clever and original opener. 3.7/10
I, Olga Hepnarova is a cold, damp sock of a movie with an unknowable, unlikable protagonist. Still, as much as I can imagine how this movie could be better, I can imagine many more scenarios where it would be worse. 6.1/10
Made during the indie/Sundance film festival boom of the 1990’s, High Art is an incredibly polished, precise piece of work. 8/10
There ended up being a lot more salvageable content and half-decent jokes in Girl Play than I expected. 5.3/10
There’s also a lot of things about Elisa and Marcela I didn’t like. But I’m going to boil down all those things and the film’s very existence to two words. Squid tits. 4.4/10
‘m just overall charmed by A Date for Mad Mary. This is a movie with an exceeding amount of talent packed into a very tight run time without ever feeling overstuffed. 8.6/10
