Water Lilies got fairly good reviews from various critics so maybe I’m being too harsh. But personally, I couldn’t see past my own displeasure in regards to the sexualization and objectification of minors to enjoy it. 4.9/10

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
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
If you like wacky misunderstand romantic comedies, you will like this movie just fine. As for me, I found it too hard to find humour in the events depicted in Out at the Wedding as they became increasingly elaborate and ridiculous. 3.6/10
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
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
David Lynch is definitely not human but he has certainly mastered the human art form of the film. Mulholland Dr. is must-watch for any WLW out there who use the word film instead of movie. 9.5/10
Blue Gate Crossing is one of few movies that emphasizes friendship over romantic relationships. But even if there were more, Blue Gate Crossing would still be exceptional for its charm, relatable protagonist and strong performances. 7.8/10
Despite my preference towards horror films and WLW films, Make a Wish is so poor that even my aggressive bias towards WLW horror movies can save it. 2.5/10
