Objectively, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is good. Great, even. Significantly better critics than me all agree this movie is a masterpiece and I’m not going to dispute that. 9.5/10

Not every WLW movie has to be life changing but Concussion left so little impact on me as a viewer that I might as well have not seen it at all. 5.7/10
While I think that Claude’s character will be relatable for a lot of queer female viewers, it doesn’t save the fact that this isn’t a particularly good movie. All Over Me feels ultimately aimless. 5.5/10
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a small, personal movie. It is not about someone changing the world or experiencing some major historical event. It’s just a small scale, very human tragedy. It remains gripping due to its excellent writing directing and superb performances. 8.8/10
Bloomington didn’t blow me away with how good it was or anything. But it is significantly better than I expected and one of my favourite depictions of a WLW teacher/student relationship. 5.7/10
Featuring a well-developed love story and some truly top-notch cinematography, The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a stunning and moving film to behold. 9/10
The Duke of Burgundy was a largely critically acclaimed, well-directed art film that unflinchingly explores a lesbian BDSM relationship and all the relationship facets thereof. Yet despite all this critical acclaim and beautiful cinematography, I wasn’t a huge fan.
The combination of her performance and beauty made Gia Angelina Jolie’s breakout performance and she totally deserved it. Jolie is downright exceptional in this. 8.2/10
There was a lot of unrealized potential here and that was really, really frustrating. Even though when I watched the movie, I sometimes spoke my idea of how to improve this movie aloud to my laptop, NONE of my suggestions were taken and the movie is worse for it. 3.7/10
Cracks is a good-looking take on an unoriginal premise. Whether or not this movie is for you is going to depend on how much you value visuals over script.
