Objectively, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is good. Great, even. Significantly better critics than me all agree this movie is a masterpiece and I’m not going to dispute that. 9.5/10

Featuring a well-developed love story and some truly top-notch cinematography, The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a stunning and moving film to behold. 9/10
I absolutely think Circumstance is worth a watch but be prepared to feel hollow and hopeless after it’s over. 8.2/10
So do I let ten minutes of creepy, straight male indulgence ruin the rest of this three-hour film and all its positives? Not entirely. However, I’d feel a lot less conflicted about this undoubtedly very good film if those damn sex scenes had simply been cut down a bit. 8.6/10
The only thing that saves Therese and Isabelle from being out and out boring its persistent overlay of sleaze. 3.5/10
The Final Girl is the worst WLW movie I’ve ever seen. It’s also the worst LGBT* themed movie, the worst art film and the worst french movie I’ve seen. In short, The Final Girl is the actual worst film I have ever seen.
Objectively I shouldn’t like this movie. I hate the main character, it’s sexist and also it completely changes direction halfway through. And yet, I found Fascination to be a very enjoyable movie. There’s no accounting for taste, I guess. 5.7/10
