When Time Got Louder balances heart and actual knowledge and care in the depiction of a family with an autistic child. The solid centre means that even in the moments when the film flounders, the sum total of the film successful. 6.5/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
I’m very much not the audience for Afternoon Breezes. It’s slow and subtle yet also deals with a problematic lesbian stereotype. 5.4/10
Not once did I even smile watching Idle Thoughts. It was irritating more than anything. I can’t call this a successful project in any way. 3.1/10
Two Mothers is probably the most standard lesbian pregnancy drama film I’ve seen. And I’ve seen most of them. 5.5/10
Behind Closed Doors covers so much ground in terms of plot and drama that could happen to gay women. But it completely fails to explore the possibility that being gay sometimes really does mean being happy. 2.6/10
This is an overall middling movie. It’s competent, polished and had enough budget to tell its story. But the story it tells isn’t anything remotely new. 5.7/10
Nyad is one of those movies that when graded on the larger scale of all movies ever, is pretty middling. But for a WLW film, it’s above average. 6.6/10
The movie manages to combine universal themes with specific, local details. Shame about that ending though. 6.0/10
Lasse Hallström is not stretching himself with Hilma. But even him phoning it in still amounts in a decent film. 6.4/10
perhaps because I’m already a fan of her output, We Are Gamily fell short of my high expectations for a Zero Chou film. 4.7/10
