Night Comes On is unusual in how sensitively it treats this story of criminal youth and revenge. And there’s something extremely admirable there. But when it comes down to personal preference, I’ve never been one for subtlety. 6.7/10

This is a hilarious, inappropriate comedy with a serious bite. It’s shocking, laugh-out-loud funny and at times, batshit insane. I loved it. 8.3/10
Kate Can’t Swim has various positives and a basic level of competence which I admire, but can’t recommend. This is one of those instances of there just not being enough here. 4.8/10
There is a genuine, bold societal statement that comes out of Slaves to the Underground, and one I respect. But often, this message comes at the expense of a successful narrative. 5.1/10
As a romantic drama, More Than Friends had so much drama it stopped working as a romance. 3.1/10
This is simply not a successful film or story and no amount of lesbian lead characters is going to change that. And I’m still pissed off that I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a period piece or not. 2.3/10
I didn’t realize how little representation there is for messy, mean sapphic women until I watched Girls Like Magic. Mean queers to the front, this movie is for you. 6.6/10

It makes it all the stranger that in a film so lacking in overall quality that there is a relationship that features such extraordinary chemistry from the two actresses. Sadly, the scenes between Zoe and Shelby don’t make up enough of the movie to drag Kiss Me out of being a pretty bad movie. 3.5/10
I applaud Big Dreams in Little Hope. With the budget and technology available to them, they still turned out a pretty solid comedy. 5.6/10
