An ambitious directorial debut from Shamim Sarif, The World Unseen has some issues but is at the end of the day, a strong and engaging film. 7.8/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
My review of Yes or No is going to focus mainly around one question: is this movie cute enough for me to overlook its various flaws?
The only thing that saves Therese and Isabelle from being out and out boring its persistent overlay of sleaze. 3.5/10
Unlike most happy WLW movies, Nina’s Heavenly Delights, did not make me feel a lingering desire for a perfect girlfriend. Instead, I finished the film mostly craving really good curry. 6.4/10
Zoe.Misplaced is the only WLW movie I can find whose English title starts with Z. Given that my expectations for this movie amounted to nothing more than it being a WLW movies whose title started with Z, Zoe.Misplaced exceeded my expectations. 5.0/10
Trippy, sexy and bloody, Vampyros Lesbos is a good example of the kind of exploitation film I like. 6.4/10
If you like wacky misunderstand romantic comedies, you will like this movie just fine. As for me, I found it too hard to find humour in the events depicted in Out at the Wedding as they became increasingly elaborate and ridiculous. 3.6/10
Elena Undone is essentially if you merged all lesbian films together and then took the average of those films and made it into one movie. If you’ve seen five or more lesbian films in your life, you have seen this Elena Undone.
I do not want this review to come off as though I am making exceptions for Rafiki’s quality because of its difficult and singular origin. If you look at the movie without regarding its importance to African and Kenyan LGBT representation and status as a brave trailblazer, you’re still left with a strong and enjoyable movie. 8.6/10
Kyss Mig is a solid, romantic love story with a happy ending. It’s an an enjoyable watch and a good choice of a movie to pick if you’re a lady on a date with another lady. 7.2/10
