Adan had a decent idea for how to start its movie and seemingly, a specific way it wanted the film to end. And in between? Bad character work, lousy sex scenes and a plot that doesn’t so much gradually get more unhinged but rather does so in fits and starts. 3.7/10

Violette is a well put together biopic about a more than worthy subject. It is not exactly the most groundbreaking biopic by any measure and I still think it runs a touch long. But this is ultimately, a solid film. 6.8/10
I think I had a better time with Christabel because of my own ignorance. That final 10 minutes went hard as hell and heavily impacted how I ultimately viewed the movie (positively). 6.5/10
Loss Prevention got a few laughs out of me and put me in a good mood. I enjoyed seeing a professional wrestler depict one of the best fathers in lesbian cinema. But ultimately, I don’t think this is quite good enough to get the passing grade. 4.9/10
Personally, I did not enjoy The Ladies Almanack. That being said, the amount of love, passion and creativity present in every shot in this film is something I admire. 4.6/10
while in the grand scheme of all movies, maybe S&M Sally isn’t an all-time great, it’s still a pretty solid feature that is funny, knowledgeable about BDSM and shows continued growth from creator, Michelle Ehlen. 5.8/10
In 600 WLW movies, I’ve seem so absolute garbage. And Don’t Look at Me That Way isn’t on that level. But that doesn’t mean there’s enough here to recommend either. 4.6/10
She: Their Love Story’s 2012 released. And it feels like a lifetime. So much of how this film depicts lesbians is rigid, dated and relies far too heavily on overused tropes. 3.1/10
Heartland is just the next victim of my WLW film burnout era. While the film is competent, there isn’t enough here that’s unique and memorable to me. 5.3/10
The relationship between the two leads covers a lot of ground, much of it toxic and not necessarily related to sexuality. But it’s the very complexity of this relationship that makes Beanpole such an excellent film. 8.8/10
