If you want a WLW movie that makes you feel disturbed and sad, Sister My Sister is a pretty safe bet. 7.3/10

While The Dancer looks very nice, the writing lets the movie down. This is such a bland and by-the-numbers biopic. 5.6/10
Overall, Lovesong is a really solid little movie. I can’t imagine it will be anyone’s favourite WLW film but it’s also fairly free of overt flaws. 6.6/10
The Watermelon Woman is one of the best WLW films of the 90s. Please watch it. 8.9/10
Like any subgenre, there are good films and bad ones. The Gymnast isn’t really either. It’s a pretty middling movie overall. 6.0/10
Saying that Summer Lover is like a bad soap opera would be an insult to bad soap operas. 2.6/10
A Perfect Ending is a well-performed drama with enough intelligence and talent to portray topics of WLW sexuality and death without falling into one of the many pitfalls both those plots have. 7.6/10
I just don’t understand why this movie about teenage girls lacked so much insight into their subject matter and didn’t seem to do anything to solve it such as talking to real life teenage girls. 3.9/10
Despite being almost two and a half hours, Beyond the Hills skips the romance aspect of a WLW movie and jumps right to the tragedy. 8.7/10
It’s in the Water isn’t good. However, it’s also not bad enough for me to get particularly passionate about. It’s just a mild failure. 4.4/10
