I’m glad that this film exists and that it was so successful depicting queer youth in such a harmless way. It’s hard to say I fully enjoyed it, though. As an adult, I am simply not the audience. 5.8/10
When Time Got Louder balances heart and actual knowledge and care in the depiction of a family with an autistic child. The solid centre means that even in the moments when the film flounders, the sum total of the film successful. 6.5/10
Not once did I even smile watching Idle Thoughts. It was irritating more than anything. I can’t call this a successful project in any way. 3.1/10
The Origin of Evil is a pretty great example of the fucked up rich family melodrama. 7.4/10
