Desire, Hostility, Delusion is a movie that deals with some really heavy subject matter. And it does so with no skill or subtly or quality. Every single aspect of this movie is abjectly bad. 1.7/10

This is the kind of forgettable movie where you spend the film’s whole runtime thinking of other, better films. 4.3/10
If you want to see Milla Jovovich kiss some women, that does technically happen in .45. But it’s infrequent and feels disingenuous when it does happen. And the rest of the movie doesn’t exactly make up for that. 3.5/10
As a remake and really, as a queer film for someone as jaded as me, The Wedding Banquet exceeded my expectations. This is a pitch-perfect dramedy and a really excellent remake that expands on the original’s themes in a way the original could not have done. 9.0/10
Tormenting the Hen felt like the product of a writer’s retreat; calibrated and intentional but potentially out of touch with an audience beyond other creatives. 4.7/10
Prom Dates is like if Booksmart was designed by a Disney+ committee. That’s all you need to know, really. 5.5/10
Sure, the script could’ve used another draft and the acting isn’t gonna win anyone an Oscar. But this is such a heartwarming, wonderfully ordinary romance that shows queer and trans joy at any age. 5.9/10
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
The Fallout. This is an incredibly sensitive and well-directed tragedy about specifically American teenagers. Megan Park really knows how to create a young female protagonist who is realistic, interesting, flawed and engaging to watch. 9.0/10
This is a great little time capsule of 90s lesbian culture both in its small scale production and its larger scale optimism about lesbians breaking through into the mainstream and being largely normalized. 6.0/10
