Love Is a Map is a decent indie movie. Shame it left almost no memorable impression on me. 5.2/10

Showing one’s real story is a respectable goal, especially when it’s something as frequently sensationalized as polyamory. But Petit Mal is so specific it doesn’t work as a portrait of polyamory. It only functions as a portrait of Ruth Caudeli’s specific relationship. 4.5/10
I cannot say the film is bad necessarily, but it’s just really something I didn’t need to see. Both because I’ve already seen other Flunk movies and because I’m not at a point yet where I want to see a romance that’s directly regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. 5.1/10
l just think if you’re going to make a story as melodramatic as Who Am I Now? that you need to have some specifics. It can’t just be constant scenes of women crying, declaring, “I can’t do this” and running away. 3.2/10
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
