Allure is a relentlessly unpleasant movie to sit through. The writer/director team who did this should be banned from ever again doing movies about abuse, mental illness, women, relationships or people. 4.1/10

Subversive, funny and an absolute classic, But I’m a Cheerleader is one of the most successful queer romantic comedies ever made. 9.3/10
Movies need to have drama, it’s why we watch them. But My Normal was so focused on having its protagonist not encounter much drama in order to “normalize” her identity as a lesbian and dominatrix that we get very little of this. 2.2/10
With Liz in September I’m just trying to work out if the fact that the last 15 minutes did make me cry makes up for the fact that the first hour and 25 minutes made me feel very little. Ultimately, I don’t think that math evens out. 6.1/10
Heavenly Creatures is a very, very good movie even though it is certainly not a feel-good one. 8.8/10
On its own, And Then Came Lola is poor. Having seen the film it’s based on, it becomes infuriating. Any film that bases itself so heavily on an existent film is risky because it welcomes comparisons to the original. In this case, And Then Came Lola came up short time after time. 2.8/10
If you’re going to watch just one WLW vampire movie, first of all, I can’t relate to you; we have nothing in common. Second of all, make that movie The Hunger. 9.1/10
The Final Girl is the worst WLW movie I’ve ever seen. It’s also the worst LGBT* themed movie, the worst art film and the worst french movie I’ve seen. In short, The Final Girl is the actual worst film I have ever seen.
Cloudburst is just delightful. It’s a sweet, funny, touching film. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be indignant and upset about the troubles queer senior citizens can face. 9.3/10
One of Bare’s major sins is the fact that is is deeply forgettable. By the time it ends, I’d already forgotten how it started. The only aspect of Bare that broke through and made an impression on me was its general incompetence. 4.2/10
