As much as I spent part of the film imagining a better version, I’m also still pretty happy with the one we got. This is a funny, heartfelt film about friendship and the process of coming out a little later than most people. 6.9/10

I have respect Gridiron Grind because of the story it chose to tell. But I also really wish that the execution of that story had matched the potential of this narrative.
Loss Prevention got a few laughs out of me and put me in a good mood. I enjoyed seeing a professional wrestler depict one of the best fathers in lesbian cinema. But ultimately, I don’t think this is quite good enough to get the passing grade. 4.9/10
Personally, I did not enjoy The Ladies Almanack. That being said, the amount of love, passion and creativity present in every shot in this film is something I admire. 4.6/10
You’re Not Supposed To Be Here is a Lifetime thriller. There was basically a 0% chance this thing was going to be good. But at least it’s a watchable kind of bad. 4.2/10
August at Twenty-Two came too late in the mumblecore subgenre to be a classic. But even if it had a release ten years earlier, I doubt it would’ve been then either. 5.5/10
while in the grand scheme of all movies, maybe S&M Sally isn’t an all-time great, it’s still a pretty solid feature that is funny, knowledgeable about BDSM and shows continued growth from creator, Michelle Ehlen. 5.8/10
Backspot has a lot of strengths. Primarily, the rendering of its main character and the incredible performance from Jacobs. But the film is a touch uneven and unfocused. 5.8/10
Heartland is just the next victim of my WLW film burnout era. While the film is competent, there isn’t enough here that’s unique and memorable to me. 5.3/10
There’s no edge to Bar Girls at all. This is a film that takes the still taboo theme of homosexuality and tries to make it as palatable as possible for the mainstream. And it doesn’t even look like that worked. 4.6/10
