Sure, the script could’ve used another draft and the acting isn’t gonna win anyone an Oscar. But this is such a heartwarming, wonderfully ordinary romance that shows queer and trans joy at any age. 5.9/10

If you’re gonna play in the BDSM as horror/thriller space, I’m gonna need some really no-flinching nastiness. Also, more of a focus on the psychology of the characters that got them to such a place. If you’re not going to do either of those things, you might as well just make porn to begin with. 4.0/10
There’s a vagueness to Silver Haze even while its visuals are blunt and unflinching. All of this feels fitting for a film that takes its title from a strain of weed. 6.1/10
The Fallout. This is an incredibly sensitive and well-directed tragedy about specifically American teenagers. Megan Park really knows how to create a young female protagonist who is realistic, interesting, flawed and engaging to watch. 9.0/10
This is harmless, indulgent wish fulfillment that puts a lesbian relationship as something that spans multiple universes and timelines . I so badly want to share in that joy. But this is not a well-executed project on almost any level. 4.7/10
This is a great little time capsule of 90s lesbian culture both in its small scale production and its larger scale optimism about lesbians breaking through into the mainstream and being largely normalized. 6.0/10
ill Two Dash One One stand up against the all-time great films about death and the afterlife? Maybe not. But especially for a small budget indie, I really welcomed a more novel approach to the stories one can tell under those conditions. 5.7/10
Let’s Meet Halfway is a technically proficient small indie that does the damnedest with what little it had to work with. I’m going for forget all about it by the end of this week. 5.4/10
acques Audiard took a series of big swings with Emilia Pérez. And he struck out on almost all of them. 4.5/10
I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10
