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
What I liked about The Seed was its quicker, comedic pacing and the fact that it does cover some new ground that other similar films, especially dramas do not. What I don’t like about the film is that despite being a comedy, it’s not very funny. 4.7/10
I have respect Gridiron Grind because of the story it chose to tell. But I also really wish that the execution of that story had matched the potential of this narrative.
You’re Not Supposed To Be Here is a Lifetime thriller. There was basically a 0% chance this thing was going to be good. But at least it’s a watchable kind of bad. 4.2/10
Beyond being talented and focused on sapphic stories, Lee’s consistency as a creator is something incredibly commendable. Please put her on your radar. Nobody out there is doing it like Samantha Lee. 7.1/10
August at Twenty-Two came too late in the mumblecore subgenre to be a classic. But even if it had a release ten years earlier, I doubt it would’ve been then either. 5.5/10
This is a really forgettable film with a standard premise and below average execution. 3/10
This feels like a muddled artistic vision that culminates in something that’s mostly dull and occasionally inexcusably offensive. 4.6/10
While Days of Happiness is not a bad film by any means, the Tár comparisons definitely hurt it as Tár is basically a masterpiece and Days of Happiness just isn’t on the same level. 6.0/10
