Princess Cyd’s unusual style and sheer talent from all aspects of filmmaking makes this a very unique and special film. I really enjoyed spending 96 minutes with these increasingly realized characters. 8.8/10
In addition to its success in representation, Boy Meets Girl is just a good film. It’s funny, charming and romantic. 7/10
AWOL has an unsatisfactory ending to an average story. At no point did the film rise about being exceedingly average.
I have so little to say about All About E. It’s just dull overall. 4.8/10
If you’re fine with years’ long lesbian seduction and literary discussions used as foreplay, absolutely give Vita & Virginia a try. 8.3/10

I found Almost Adults charming and funny but it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s incredibly easy for me to see myself in these characters. 6.6/10
I’ve seen a lot of queer movies in my time clearly made for a straight audience. That’s nothing new. What is new is the lengths to which Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story went to cater to a straight audience. 4.4/10
