Watching this film really makes me think writer/diretor Kyu-dong Min genuinely doesn’t understand that women are people, not just sex objects. I truly hate to see it. 2.9/10

Vic + Flo offers an unusual narrative by taking a simple story and making the choice for its characters to be queer women over a certain age. But really, the star here is how damn beautiful the film is to look at. 8/10
To my pleasant surprise, Schoolgirl Complex is hardly sexual or fetishized at all. But crossing the low threshold of not being sleazy and gross is not enough to make it an interesting movie. 5.5/10
Reaching For the Moon is not a major failure; it’s competent and all that. But I spent the whole movie wishing it was better.
If you’re looking for a WLW movie that’s funny, violent and features queer teenagers with magic powers, All Cheerleaders Die might be one to check out. 7.7/10
Not every WLW movie has to be life changing but Concussion left so little impact on me as a viewer that I might as well have not seen it at all. 5.7/10
So do I let ten minutes of creepy, straight male indulgence ruin the rest of this three-hour film and all its positives? Not entirely. However, I’d feel a lot less conflicted about this undoubtedly very good film if those damn sex scenes had simply been cut down a bit. 8.6/10
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
