Based on an exceptionally interesting historical figure, The Girl King is a two hour exercise in wasted potential and disappointment. 4.8/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
A Question of Love is my first choice recommendation for a pro-gay movie to show your grandparents both in terms of the message it sends and the quality of the finished product. 6.3/10
Cameron Post is competent and a close adaption of its source material. However, it lacks personality as its own piece of storytelling. 6.1/10
So do I let ten minutes of creepy, straight male indulgence ruin the rest of this three-hour film and all its positives? Not entirely. However, I’d feel a lot less conflicted about this undoubtedly very good film if those damn sex scenes had simply been cut down a bit. 8.6/10
While The Unwanted is not a particularly pleasant sit, this movie had a lot of original ideas and held my interest.
There’s no joy to be found in Lost and Delirious nor positive representation of queer people. It just seems like all this queer tragedy could have been avoided if anyone had a lick of sense or had a rational conversation. 4.9/10
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
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
