But the technical issues of Rome & Juliet do affect what is already a pretty weak script. 3.8/10
Night Comes On is unusual in how sensitively it treats this story of criminal youth and revenge. And there’s something extremely admirable there. But when it comes down to personal preference, I’ve never been one for subtlety. 6.7/10
Out of the Blue is one of those movies that doesn’t have anything really wrong with it. But there’s also nothing I can point out as being particularly good. It just sort of is. 5.1/10
Kate Can’t Swim has various positives and a basic level of competence which I admire, but can’t recommend. This is one of those instances of there just not being enough here. 4.8/10
As much as I don’t always understand that intent, The Girl and the Spider engaged me and caused me to think about deeper fictional themes than most movies, WLW or otherwise. 6.6/10
There is a genuine, bold societal statement that comes out of Slaves to the Underground, and one I respect. But often, this message comes at the expense of a successful narrative. 5.1/10
Fantasy of the Girls has no right to go as hard as it does. The plot is something you could find on a Nickolodeon show for pre-teens. But the handling of this plot gives the film such an air of intensity and maturity. 7.4/10
As a romantic drama, More Than Friends had so much drama it stopped working as a romance. 3.1/10
I’m not saying there are no nude scenes, but women actually spend more of the film with their clothes on, crafting complex relationships and inherently critiquing the Catholic church. 7.5/10
