Lady in nice suits is a great initial plan for a movie. But it’s absolutely not a concept that can sustain a feature film. 5.4/10

Henry & June is not a success. It’s poorly acted, has little insight into its characters and is neither queer nor horny enough given who its lead character is. 4.8/10
While A Sweet Journey never quite crosses the line into being overtly queer, it approaches the line so many times from so many different angles that it’s worth a mention. 7/10
You Will Be Mine is a major plateau of a movie. There’s little rising action, we just exist at a state of 7/10 intensity through almost all of the runtime. 5.5/10
Clara’s Summer feels realistic but unimportant. The coming out narrative doesn’t offer anything new nor does the overall depiction of teens offer much depth or introspection. 5.3/10
There are Canadian films and then there are CANADIAN films. Revoir Julie, with its bilingualism, actors you’ve never heard of, small-town setting and conflict that can be described as moderate at best falls firmly into the latter category. 6.3/10
If you’re gonna make a movie with poly themes, do me a favour and don’t have it end with a return to a two person heterosexual relationship. Like, what’s even the point? 5.8/10
Watching How To Seduce a Virgin or really, any of Jess Franco’s movies makes me remember that I only like his output hypothetically and rarely in actual practice.
Summertime is a beautiful, romantic film. The main romance is a treat to watch and the rest of the film’s themes and plots are well-executed. 8.3/10
I loved Knife + Heart. The film is a queer update of a genre I already loved. It’s kept all the staples of that genre while managing to make a film that’s gay-friendly instead of homophobic. 8.7/10
