Not only does it featuring explicitly queer characters, it allows them to be happy and alive. From the time it was made in, Personal Best’s take on sexuality is quite refreshing. 6.1/10

To any WLW out there with shitty parents, Nick Offerman’s character in Hearts Beat Loud is your dad now. I don’t make the rules, he just is. 7.9/10
I found the lead characters and their politics to be largely disagreeable in Itty Bitty Titty Committee. I did not find the film to be particularly funny nor romantic so as a romantic comedy, it’s 0 for 2. 4.6/10
Freeheld is a story that absolutely deserved to be told, dead lesbian and all. It’s based on an important legal battle for queer rights and the movie does a great job with adapting the story. 8.1/10
If you’re looking for a WLW movie that’s funny, violent and features queer teenagers with magic powers, All Cheerleaders Die might be one to check out. 7.7/10
If you’re a fan of particularly extreme horror movies and don’t mind seeing vomit, bugs and implications of child rape, The Perfection is an effective horror movie. It just would’ve been more effective if they’d chosen a more creative horror device than rape. 6.0/10
The Four-Faced Liar mostly fails because it fails to walk that fine line of dramedy. It’s too quirky to be truly dramatic but far too depressing to be a comedy. 3.8/10
I love WLW and I also enjoy watching a good murder so Lizzie should’ve been a movie for me. Too bad it took itself so damn seriously and failed to be anything other than dull. 5.8/10
The screenplay of Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right is the star of the show. It finds universal truths about family in a movie about gay parenting. 8.6/10
Not every WLW movie has to be life changing but Concussion left so little impact on me as a viewer that I might as well have not seen it at all. 5.7/10
