Kajillionaire has so much going on in it and every part of it is handled so brilliantly. The film is a slowburn romance/belated coming of age story using the crime genre as framework and mixed in with comedic sensibilities. 9.3/10
Shiva Baby is a great little comedy and incredibly self-assured for being the feature length debut of filmmaker Emma Seligman. 8/10
ou, Me and Him has a lot to say about pregnancy. Mostly, it does so in a way that lends itself well to comedy. And then, it plunks you in the deep end of despair out of nowhere. 6.0/10
While I am pleased that Just the Two of Us featured zero dead lesbians, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a poorly written and acted movie. 3.1/10
The best decision Dee Rees made with Bessie was to leave the character on a high note. 8.4/10
While I understand some of the reasons Surrender wasn’t up to par (most of those reasons being money), at the end of the day it still ends up with Surrender not being a good movie. 2.0/10
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie is a gloriously gay, surreal visual treat of a film with themes of adulthood and female liberation. 9.1/10
My best guess about what The Sex Monster is trying to “say” is that women can’t have a normal relationship to sexuality. I hope I’m wrong on that but that’s very much what the film reads as. 5.0/10
Do I Love You? turned out exactly how the filmmakers had in mind. Whether or not the movie is for you, it is a movie that’s certain of its identity and does what it set out to do. 5.3/10
