Far from depicting unconditional love, Coming Home For Christmas portrays extremely conditional love and support. There’s a line in the movie about how family should be the place where you can be the truest version of yourself. But everything that happens in this movie disproves that. 2.7/10

Hallmark movies can feel like a warm mug of cocoa. City of Trees is more like a glass of water you left on your bedside table in December over night for a week. 3.8/10
Road of Bygones found a really interesting hook that makes itself stand out from other, similar indie movies. It’s such a good hook that I think the film should’ve pivoted to that being the entire premise. 5.9/10
Gornick’s confidence in centralizing her experiences and thoughts is admirable. But of the three films of hers I’ve seen, Tick Tock Lullaby is the weakest. And after three movies of Gornick’s thoughts, it veers away from highlighting a marginalized voice as it becomes so specifically about Lisa Gornick as a person. 5.0/10
The Sleepover does well on a smaller scale but it can’t exactly hang with the big dogs of high budget and ambition larger scale movies. 5.6/10
The amount of poly films I’ve seen probably lessens my regard for this specific one. I’ve seen the beats of this story many times before. And Before We Grow Old’s take on those beats is a particularly boring one. 4.8/10
Walk With Me is about as interesting as its title. If this movie was a colour, it would be beige. 5.2/10
Most sapphic movies that are bad and cheap are just boring. Butterfly Crush ain’t boring. It’s weird as hell and so incompetent it almost reaches the uncanny valley Yeah, the core love story here is between a man and a woman. But please, let me have this one. I need it. 2.1/10
My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10
The Nightmare Gallery is slightly better, but much less interesting than you might think from looking at this review’s header image. 2.9/10
