Gondola not only celebrates the medium of film with its beautiful visuals but also gives me one of the cutest romances I’ve seen in quite some time. And it accomplishes both these things with nearly zero dialogue. 7.1/10

If you’re gonna play in the BDSM as horror/thriller space, I’m gonna need some really no-flinching nastiness. Also, more of a focus on the psychology of the characters that got them to such a place. If you’re not going to do either of those things, you might as well just make porn to begin with. 4.0/10
This is harmless, indulgent wish fulfillment that puts a lesbian relationship as something that spans multiple universes and timelines . I so badly want to share in that joy. But this is not a well-executed project on almost any level. 4.7/10

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

The brief period of time where at least in fiction, you could hide away from the troubles of the world in the arms of a pretty girl might be coming to an end. In its place is Foreign Language, where even in the arms of a pretty girl, the rise of far-right extremism and environmental collapse loom ever-present. 7.7/10
Cora Bora is a fun, very modern comedy. It’s not a romance, but is focused on various relationships. And the focus of said relationships is largely what’s funny about them? And the answer is a lot. 6.8/10
