Watching How To Seduce a Virgin or really, any of Jess Franco’s movies makes me remember that I only like his output hypothetically and rarely in actual practice.

Summertime is a beautiful, romantic film. The main romance is a treat to watch and the rest of the film’s themes and plots are well-executed. 8.3/10
I loved Knife + Heart. The film is a queer update of a genre I already loved. It’s kept all the staples of that genre while managing to make a film that’s gay-friendly instead of homophobic. 8.7/10
Olivia is one of the oldest WLW films I know of and was directed by a woman. As such, the film has great female characters and understanding of women and girls. It also had a surprisingly good grasp of psychology. 8/10
While I commend the film for its sex positivity, not all of French Twist’s humour and general attitude works 25 years after its release. 5.4/10
Despite its run time being in the 90 minute range, the film felt slow and far too long. It’s frustrating because I think Replay could be an interesting movie if it just did more. But it didn’t. 4.9/10
While The Dancer looks very nice, the writing lets the movie down. This is such a bland and by-the-numbers biopic. 5.6/10
Not only did I cry at Two of Us but the stranger to my right and the stranger to my left in the theatre did as well. You probably will too. 9.4/10
The Countess has a base level of competence that stops me from calling it out and out bad. However, personally, I was greatly disappointed by this film. 5.9/10
Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay is a bad and lazy film. The only passion here is for the feeling of being high and it shows. 3.4/10
