Simply put, Addicted to Fresno isn’t funny enough to get away with how ultimately pointless the story is nor how unlikable its characters are. 4.5/10
Freeheld is a story that absolutely deserved to be told, dead lesbian and all. It’s based on an important legal battle for queer rights and the movie does a great job with adapting the story. 8.1/10
Ultimately, Alena is spooky and well-paced enough to be at least mildly successful as a horror movie. And even a mildly successful horror movie is a minority in that genre. Still, as much as I’ve seen worse movies than Alena, I’ve seen better ones too. 5.7/10
Featuring a brilliant cast headed by Lily Tomlin, Paul Weitz’s Grandma is a funny and heartfelt movie whose main character is a lesbian senior citizen. 8.8/10
Featuring a script that manages to tie in the flaws of teen years with a sense of nostalgia and truly stunning cinematography, The Summer of Sangaile is a must-see in the over saturated genre of teen coming-of-age dramas. 8.7/10
Based on an exceptionally interesting historical figure, The Girl King is a two hour exercise in wasted potential and disappointment. 4.8/10
One of Bare’s major sins is the fact that is is deeply forgettable. By the time it ends, I’d already forgotten how it started. The only aspect of Bare that broke through and made an impression on me was its general incompetence. 4.2/10
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
Are you guys ready for some Homosexuality 101? Because that’s what this film is. 4.4/10
