Films piss me off when they’re offensive or feel like they’re not trying. Intentions isn’t offensive and I think everyone was trying their hardest. Tragically, all this trying just didn’t lead to any success. 2.5/10

The never ending presence of the male gaze really tanks this movie. There’s some deep and major family drama in the film. But it constantly comes second to depicting women as sexy. 3.7/10
If nothing else, Men Not Allowed is one of very few WLW movies with a theme song. Western cinema, take note. If you’re gonna make a bad movie, at go balls to the wall on the editing. And give it a theme song. I think every WLW movie should have a theme song. 3.1/10
Unfortunately, a good softcore film is still an at best, average film. For that reason, I can’t give it higher than a mixed review. But if you are looking for a lesbian softcore flick, Coming Out is a way better option that any of the trashy 70s stuff. 5.0/10
Love/Juice has one of the most fascinating, fucked up and tragic relationship dynamics I’ve seen in a WLW film. I’m blown away that this tiny little indie pulled off such dramatic heights. 7.4/10
The visuals can’t really add much to such a character-heavy story. Or maybe there’s a way they could, but that wasn’t present in Navidad. 5.3/10
May’s weirdness as a film and as a character brilliantly exemplifies some of the themes of queer horror. There’s definite appeal here for queer people, weirdos and anyone who considers them self an outsider. 7.1/10
I genuinely want all WLW movies to be good. When Kiran Met Karen can’t be called good though. 1.8/10
Maple Palm is not the worst WLW movie I’ve ever seen. There’s exactly four WLW movies that are worse than it. 1.6/10
Mango Kiss is one of the least sexy depictions of kink I’ve ever seen. For a comedy movie, that shouldn’t be a problem. But it’s not funny either. 3/10
