I did enjoy Ammonite. But while it is a good movie, it never ends up being fully great. 67.9/10
I don’t want to be too mean towards Maggie and Annie. This movie felt earnest in its intention to make a movie with queer representation and love. Sadly, it’s still not very good. 2.3/10

Signature Move had the potential to be really funny. However, the bizarre choice to direct the film in a style more suited to drama really stopped the script from reaching its full potential. 5.9/10
Summertime is a beautiful, romantic film. The main romance is a treat to watch and the rest of the film’s themes and plots are well-executed. 8.3/10
No one is more surprised than I that I found James Franco’s exercise in lesbian vampire fan fiction actually pretty enjoyable. 6.6/10
