I was NOT prepared for Ana and Vitória. This is a fascinating, baffling and very bad movie. 3.5/10

Henry & June is not a success. It’s poorly acted, has little insight into its characters and is neither queer nor horny enough given who its lead character is. 4.8/10
Within trying to undo a faulty narrative and craft a new one, Wild Nights made the delightful choice to do so with comedy. 9/10
The best decision Dee Rees made with Bessie was to leave the character on a high note. 8.4/10
Battle of the Sexes needed to hit a little harder to achieve its Academy Awards ambitions. 8.1/10
I, Olga Hepnarova is a cold, damp sock of a movie with an unknowable, unlikable protagonist. Still, as much as I can imagine how this movie could be better, I can imagine many more scenarios where it would be worse. 6.1/10
There’s also a lot of things about Elisa and Marcela I didn’t like. But I’m going to boil down all those things and the film’s very existence to two words. Squid tits. 4.4/10
For those who haven’t seen the TV series or for those who are somehow still existing in a pre-2019 world where the TV series has yet to be released, The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister is a solid TV movie worth checking out. 7.2/10
Reaching For the Moon is not a major failure; it’s competent and all that. But I spent the whole movie wishing it was better.
I am so, so thankful a lesbian directed Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. I think it would have been a different, worse movie had it not been. 8.5/10
