This is an above average small-budget indie film. It’s a way above average semi-autobiographic film. There’s a lot to celebrate here. Just ignore my overall rating. 6.0/10

Far from depicting unconditional love, Coming Home For Christmas portrays extremely conditional love and support. There’s a line in the movie about how family should be the place where you can be the truest version of yourself. But everything that happens in this movie disproves that. 2.7/10
Light Light Light’s great creative choices elevate the film above many of the European coming-of-age films that came before. 7.9/10
The Sleepover does well on a smaller scale but it can’t exactly hang with the big dogs of high budget and ambition larger scale movies. 5.6/10
Walk With Me is about as interesting as its title. If this movie was a colour, it would be beige. 5.2/10
My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10
Bad Things may be the sapphic equivalent of The Shining, but that equivalency is based on plot similarities, not equal quality. 4.6/10
My Animal is one of those slow burn films that burns so slow it never quite ignites. As much as I loved the set-up the film offered, My Animal let me down in the pay-off. 5.9/10
While Cuckoo is an imperfect movie, I respect it for taking risks, having original ideas and getting a few good, scary moments. 7/10
Chuck Chuck Baby was an unusual delight of a movie. A queer musical set in a chicken factory. The final product is so assured, so well-done and so delightful. 7.2/10
