To my pleasant surprise, Schoolgirl Complex is hardly sexual or fetishized at all. But crossing the low threshold of not being sleazy and gross is not enough to make it an interesting movie. 5.5/10
or a young person who’s not deathly allergic to the word daddy like I am, they might actually really like this movie. Or they might find it beyond annoying. 5.9/10
I’ve noticed that British movies are particularly good at two things: dramatic love confessions and passive aggression. A Village Affair is a standard British TV movie that wisely features both of these things. 5.2/10
Liberty’s Secret is a movie made by and starring Musical Theatre Kids. Each of the cast and the movie itself is very earnest, very perky and a little amateur. But of course, they’re not Musical Theatre Kids. They’re Musical Theatre Adults so that’s less charming still. 3.1/10
Alto is a flat, dull movie lacking so much originality that it’s actually sapping my ability to come up with a clever and original opener. 3.7/10
Made during the indie/Sundance film festival boom of the 1990’s, High Art is an incredibly polished, precise piece of work. 8/10
There ended up being a lot more salvageable content and half-decent jokes in Girl Play than I expected. 5.3/10
There’s also a lot of things about Elisa and Marcela I didn’t like. But I’m going to boil down all those things and the film’s very existence to two words. Squid tits. 4.4/10
‘m just overall charmed by A Date for Mad Mary. This is a movie with an exceeding amount of talent packed into a very tight run time without ever feeling overstuffed. 8.6/10
