I didn’t like the original 1974 version of Vampyres. But as it so often goes, the remake is worse.

Sex is weird. Sexuality is perhaps weirder. The Book of Gabrielle understands and even celebrates that through its lead character’s stories and experiences. 6.6/10
In a subgenre full of such similar films, Mom + Mom is a below average execution of the standard tropes and plot points. 3.7/10
This is an all-around success. Nikki Si’ulepa and Rachel Aneta Wills found a way to make their personal love story universal and entertaining. 6.5/10
Night Comes On is unusual in how sensitively it treats this story of criminal youth and revenge. And there’s something extremely admirable there. But when it comes down to personal preference, I’ve never been one for subtlety. 6.7/10
Kate Can’t Swim has various positives and a basic level of competence which I admire, but can’t recommend. This is one of those instances of there just not being enough here. 4.8/10
Fantasy of the Girls has no right to go as hard as it does. The plot is something you could find on a Nickolodeon show for pre-teens. But the handling of this plot gives the film such an air of intensity and maturity. 7.4/10
As a romantic drama, More Than Friends had so much drama it stopped working as a romance. 3.1/10
This is simply not a successful film or story and no amount of lesbian lead characters is going to change that. And I’m still pissed off that I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a period piece or not. 2.3/10
I didn’t realize how little representation there is for messy, mean sapphic women until I watched Girls Like Magic. Mean queers to the front, this movie is for you. 6.6/10
