It made me a little sad to watch this movie because I really wanted to like this movie and it was trying its hardest. Sadly, for as hard as Joe + Belle tried, it didn’t succeed on any level. 3.4/10

Passion is a movie I like far more than it deserves. This movie is frustrating, uneven and confusing. Unfortunately, I’m basically a magpie and this movie is the cinematic equivalent of a shiny thing. 6.1/10
Carmen and Lola is an above average coming-of-age film. The few problems I have with it don’t overrule the positives of this movie. It has great performances and characters I care about. Carmen and Lola feels alive as a movie. 7.5/10
Carol is a beautiful movie that appealed to both the lesbian in me and the film snob in me. Anchored by great performances and a great director, Carol is one of few mainstream lesbian movie in which the lesbians get to be happy. 9.4/10
The Firefly is a well-made movie that achieved what it set out to do. However, I don’t want to ever watch it again because it is sad. 6.1/10
It’s mislabeled as a comedy but as a drama with some light comic relief, The Feels generally succeeds.
Anyone remember those overly long, brutal Peter Griffin vs. Chicken fight sequences in Family Guy? That’s basically what this movie is. Except Catfight is better because it was queer ladies and also isn’t Family Guy. 5.8/10
As a WLW/lesbian film, Sand Dollars only partially succeeds. As a 90 minute advertisement for the Domincan Republic, it is much more successful. 6.2/10
In the months that have passed between me seeing Frauensee and writing this review, the only thing that sticks in my mind about this movie is how spectacularly average it is. I have never seen a movie that’s so aggressively 5/10. It is a remarkably unremarkable film.
This movie has really lofty goals of making a political statement and doing a shocking, genre switch but the talent behind the camera is not such that it can realistically achieve those goals. 3.5/10
