I applaud The Exchange for all that it is, but I can’t honestly write that the movie was amazing or particularly innovative. It’s just a high school romance. 5.6/10

Behind Closed Doors covers so much ground in terms of plot and drama that could happen to gay women. But it completely fails to explore the possibility that being gay sometimes really does mean being happy. 2.6/10
Christmas at the Ranch is a middling example of a subgenre I don’t like. 4.9/10
The Light Touch might have the visuals of a travel commercial, but it has a script that isn’t even good enough to compare to softcore porn. 1.9/10
I’m remarkable uninspired by The Retreat. I’ve seen every single aspect of this film multiple times in other places. 4.5/10
Palitan’s attempts to be more than a silly piece of softcore might have doomed it. So much of the story does not mesh with the film’s detours into sex scenes. 3.1/10
So many experiences that cinema primarily assigns to young people are in fact, universal. Forgotten Roads feels tragically unique just because of its focus on older characters. 8.5/10
As much as I don’t always understand that intent, The Girl and the Spider engaged me and caused me to think about deeper fictional themes than most movies, WLW or otherwise. 6.6/10
I can certainly see how this trendy, romantic story might appeal to people. But in this case, I guess I’m not people, because I personally didn’t enjoy what The Venus Effect presented me. 5.2/10
For a film to rate below a 3/10 for me, I need to think to myself, “wow, I hate this!” at least once while watching. I had that thought dozens of times watching 69 + 1.
