While the 60’s one is closer to the original story, nicer to look at and less sleazy, I prefer this 1983 version. I can’t objectively defend my position but that’s what’s in my heart. 7.1/10

Supernova is slow, meandering and doesn’t present the best depiction of a 15 year old’s sexuality. But damn, it’s just so nice to look at. 6.5/10
There’s some good work in Ava’s Impossible Things but the fantasy world aspect takes away from these positives too much. 3.9/10
Love, Spells and All That has a great premise. It also has a consistent sense of its own identity and tone. It just so happens that said tone was joyless magical realism. 5.4/10
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
I have issues with attention span and The Objects of Love challenged that. 5.2/10
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
Even as the film’s weakest point, Another Way’s core same-sex romance is successful, moving, and does bring humanity to a story that could easily get bogged down in themes and commentary. 8.2/10
All I know is that at the end of Make Up, I just felt confused. And not a good Muholland Dr. kind of confused. 5.7/10
With the obvious exception of The Handmaiden (which has the unfair advantage of being the best WLW movie), The Night Watch is the best adaption of a Sarah Waters novel that I’ve seen. 8.4/10
