This is a milquetoast attempt at exploitation that mostly goes to show the age and opinions of its director more than any sort of accurate or even entertaining look at hot young bisexuals in France. 2.7/10

Once a Girl can be a bit entry-level in its discussion about intersex people past and present. But with little representation, I think we’re still at a place where films might have to be entry-level. On that metric, Once a Girl does well. It explores social, religious and legal gender roles, expectations and restrictions. 7.4/10
While not the most original film, Rivière plays the queer coming-of-age film and girl in sports movie tropes to general success. 6.5/10
The New Girlfriend is quite the mixed bag. The film is well-directed and has some great performances. It has a really interesting premise as well. Unfortunately, that premise involves a trans woman, and it’s a film from 2014. 5.9/10
I try not to stereotype nations or national cinema, but this is one of the most classically French movies of all time. All comes second to romantic and sexual passion in Looking For Cheyenne. 5.7/10
acques Audiard took a series of big swings with Emilia Pérez. And he struck out on almost all of them. 4.5/10
As a biopic, I find Marinette slightly below average. I think the film lacks focus and doesn’t do enough justice to the character at its centre. 4.9/10
having seen numerous of these toxic female relationship films, Heartbeast’s artistic merits and gripping atmosphere kept me on the edge of my seat. That’s what I want a thriller to do and that’s often something I miss from this subgenre. 6.7/10
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
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
