If you haven’t seen an abundance of women self-actualizes and also kisses a woman films, sure, you might as well see A Room of My Own. If you’ve already seen enough where that plot sounds superfluous to you, I cannot say that A Room of My Own is a film to seek out on its individual merits. 5.8/10

Desire, Hostility, Delusion is a movie that deals with some really heavy subject matter. And it does so with no skill or subtly or quality. Every single aspect of this movie is abjectly bad. 1.7/10
I try not to stereotype nations or national cinema, but this is one of the most classically French movies of all time. All comes second to romantic and sexual passion in Looking For Cheyenne. 5.7/10
I respect basically all of the choices this small-budget Chinese film makes. But that small budget and distinctly bleak plot really does put a cap on how highly I can rate the film. 5.8/10
If you want to see Milla Jovovich kiss some women, that does technically happen in .45. But it’s infrequent and feels disingenuous when it does happen. And the rest of the movie doesn’t exactly make up for that. 3.5/10
I expected Immacolata and Concetta: The Other Jealousy to be far more sleazy than it was. Instead, the film is fairly underplayed. I’ll be honest, I found myself missing some of the sleaze. 5.5/10
As a remake and really, as a queer film for someone as jaded as me, The Wedding Banquet exceeded my expectations. This is a pitch-perfect dramedy and a really excellent remake that expands on the original’s themes in a way the original could not have done. 9.0/10
I don’t think this movie adds much to the conversation in regards to the film’s two major themes: grief, and restaurant ownership. 5.1/10
Tormenting the Hen felt like the product of a writer’s retreat; calibrated and intentional but potentially out of touch with an audience beyond other creatives. 4.7/10
The film is an artistic exploration of people at the fringes of a subculture. It crafts that subculture as something capable of great beauty under the direction of Monika Treut and her colour-saturated, Dutch angle-loving camera. 7.3/10
