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

Out of the Blue is one of those movies that doesn’t have anything really wrong with it. But there’s also nothing I can point out as being particularly good. It just sort of is. 5.1/10
BBC TV movies are of a solid, uniform quality. Daphne is no exception. This is a good movie. But that’s as far as I’m willing to go. 6.4/10
Finale is a waste of 75 minutes. The film has little plot and little talent on display. 1.7/10
Gray Matters neuters its own message and makes this a film without an audience. 4.7/10
I thought Vivere was successful. It made me feel one, maybe even two entire emotions. 7/10
What’s Up Scarlet? may be uneven but it does feature a core couple who are likeable and incredibly easy to root for. 5.6/10
The Secrets is a complex and emotional film. It is one of the best WLW films I’ve seen. Great writing and great performances make this an engaging, exceptional film. 9.2/10
Four Minutes is a well-crafted drama with excellent directing and good character work. Don’t go into it expecting and laughs or romance, though. 8.2/10
Zero Chou’s Spider Lilies is a film that is absolutely greater than the sum of its parts. 7.6/10
