So many experiences that cinema primarily assigns to young people are in fact, universal. Forgotten Roads feels tragically unique just because of its focus on older characters. 8.5/10

There’s nothing particularly wrong with the film. I’m just of an age and in an era where depicting lesbians as normal people doesn’t really interest me. I know lesbians are normal people. Now show me lesbians being absolute freaks. 5.5/10
In a subgenre full of such similar films, Mom + Mom is a below average execution of the standard tropes and plot points. 3.7/10
This is an all-around success. Nikki Si’ulepa and Rachel Aneta Wills found a way to make their personal love story universal and entertaining. 6.5/10
But the technical issues of Rome & Juliet do affect what is already a pretty weak script. 3.8/10
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
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
This is simply not a successful film or story and no amount of lesbian lead characters is going to change that. And I’m still pissed off that I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a period piece or not. 2.3/10
I didn’t realize how little representation there is for messy, mean sapphic women until I watched Girls Like Magic. Mean queers to the front, this movie is for you. 6.6/10
