This is a low budget film but it’s really high on creativity, realism and focused commentary. Very few films with such limited means achieve those three things. 5.6/10

The final cut of Taymor’s film still manages to be a celebration of a radical, artistic and endlessly complex woman. 8.4/10
Bobbie’s Girl is perfectly fine. I don’t have any abject negatives about the film. But I can’t bring myself to be passionately in its favour either. 6.1/10
I have incredible respect for Fish and Elephant. It is a true a trailblazer of cinematic depictions of queer women in mainland China. 5.6/10
I don’t want to be too mean towards Maggie and Annie. This movie felt earnest in its intention to make a movie with queer representation and love. Sadly, it’s still not very good. 2.3/10
The Hours is a great and heartbreaking movie. Full of great dialogue, great performances and difficult themes, it is an emotional, sometimes heartbreaking film. 9/10

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
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
