The Fallout. This is an incredibly sensitive and well-directed tragedy about specifically American teenagers. Megan Park really knows how to create a young female protagonist who is realistic, interesting, flawed and engaging to watch. 9.0/10

This is a great little time capsule of 90s lesbian culture both in its small scale production and its larger scale optimism about lesbians breaking through into the mainstream and being largely normalized. 6.0/10
I thought Guardami was going to be tragedy porn meets actual porn. As it turns out, the film didn’t even deliver on the tragedy. 2.0/10
ill Two Dash One One stand up against the all-time great films about death and the afterlife? Maybe not. But especially for a small budget indie, I really welcomed a more novel approach to the stories one can tell under those conditions. 5.7/10
This is a movie I wish I enjoyed more. But sometimes there’s a gulf between watching a movie as a general thing and watching a sapphic movie. Luxurious Bone works as an overall movie. But if you watch it as I did, with a focus towards the sapphic element, the film will likely disappoint. 4.9/10
Jules of Light and Dark has much in common with its protagonist. Both are vague, aimless and don’t evoke any strong emotion in me as a viewer. 3.6/10
Love Is a Map is a decent indie movie. Shame it left almost no memorable impression on me. 5.2/10
Showing one’s real story is a respectable goal, especially when it’s something as frequently sensationalized as polyamory. But Petit Mal is so specific it doesn’t work as a portrait of polyamory. It only functions as a portrait of Ruth Caudeli’s specific relationship. 4.5/10
I cannot say the film is bad necessarily, but it’s just really something I didn’t need to see. Both because I’ve already seen other Flunk movies and because I’m not at a point yet where I want to see a romance that’s directly regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. 5.1/10
Get ready to yearn in harmony , because Farewell Song will make you do just that. 7.1/10
