As a WLW/lesbian film, Sand Dollars only partially succeeds. As a 90 minute advertisement for the Domincan Republic, it is much more successful. 6.2/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
In the months that have passed between me seeing Frauensee and writing this review, the only thing that sticks in my mind about this movie is how spectacularly average it is. I have never seen a movie that’s so aggressively 5/10. It is a remarkably unremarkable film.
This movie has really lofty goals of making a political statement and doing a shocking, genre switch but the talent behind the camera is not such that it can realistically achieve those goals. 3.5/10
There’s an old adage to write high and edit sober. Liquid Sky shows that such advice should be extended to acting and directing sober as well. 6.2/10
I’m qualified to review lesbian content but the lesbian characters, like every other character in this film function as a metaphor for something which I lack full understanding of. 7.2/10
If you want to see lesbian sex scenes directed by an actual lesbian then this movie exists. However, Inescapable has no merit as a movie on any other front. 4.6/10
Without exaggeration, The Handmaiden is the best WLW film I’ve seen and though I haven’t seen all of them (yet), I feel pretty confident saying this is one of the all-time bests of the entire genre. 9.7/10
Are you guys ready for some Homosexuality 101? Because that’s what this film is. 4.4/10
I’m not sure who it was who saw a photo of Aileen Wuornos and thought the inhumanly beautiful Charlize Theron would be the best choice to play her but that decision ended up working really well. 8.9/10
The Guest House is another jewel in the crown of shitty lesbian movies made by male filmmakers. 3/10
