Gornick’s confidence in centralizing her experiences and thoughts is admirable. But of the three films of hers I’ve seen, Tick Tock Lullaby is the weakest. And after three movies of Gornick’s thoughts, it veers away from highlighting a marginalized voice as it becomes so specifically about Lisa Gornick as a person. 5.0/10

Blue finds itself in the quiet moments, and is happy to linger there and construct this gentle romance and the tragedy that comes with it. 6.9/10
Love Sick falls pretty neatly into this kind of European indie movie about the young generation; freedom and debauchery of city living and some grit in the story as well as the visuals. Love Sick chose for its grit to be incest, which is a bold choice. 5.5/10

What I’m looking for in my art is a reflection of the human condition. Instead of doing that, Sévigné is more of an artistic medium reflecting another artistic medium. 4.3/10
While at times the movie skews a bit edgier, this is a very safe, entry-level sort of punk scene on display. The kind of punk ready to be beamed into your living room for a safe, stay-at-home watching experience. 5.9/10
while I personally found Suddenly interesting and engaging, I don’t think that opinion holds much weight as I can’t even fully justify it to myself. 5.7/10
Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough created an idealized, misogynistic world where the only women in it are hot. And then made the choice to hate all the women it just made up. 2/10
