I Care a Lot is a nasty little movie with a deeply unsympathetic lead that I could not tear my eyes away from. 8/10

Representation alone is not enough to make a good movie. I Hate New Year’s is cliche and feels perfectly willing to stew in its own mediocrity. 4/10
What’s Up Scarlet? may be uneven but it does feature a core couple who are likeable and incredibly easy to root for. 5.6/10
Gus Van Sant needed a tighter reign on the unusual society he’d created in the film and also to genuinely enjoy at least some of the oddballs he populated the movie with. In Even Cowgirls get the Blues, he did neither. 4.5/10
This movie has already aged badly. And even without the offensive or dated aspects, it’s still a lacklustre comedy. 3.3/10
Chutney Popcorn is a good movie. I can’t get more passionate about it than that but that’s because I’m inherently biased against the 1990s. 6.3/10
While it won’t be a happy ending lesbian classic like the first Yes or No, it’s definitely a stronger, less obnoxious film than Yes or No 2. 5.8/10
Ellie and Abbie has a surprising, poignant emotional centre. This, in addition to its genuinely funny jokes, makes it one of the most moving and successful WLW comedies I’ve seen. 8.7/10
Dating Amber works on a lot of levels. It’s funny, it’s tragic and it shows how much gay acceptance has come in 26 years and that we still have a ways to go. 7.6/10
Duck Butter is just two random people who are inherently unsuitable for each other who realize it sooner than most. I just don’t care. 3.9/10
