Walk With Me is about as interesting as its title. If this movie was a colour, it would be beige. 5.2/10

Unexpected was almost exactly what I expected for a German TV movie about a lesbian romance. No real surprises here! 5.8/10
My Animal is one of those slow burn films that burns so slow it never quite ignites. As much as I loved the set-up the film offered, My Animal let me down in the pay-off. 5.9/10
Love Sick falls pretty neatly into this kind of European indie movie about the young generation; freedom and debauchery of city living and some grit in the story as well as the visuals. Love Sick chose for its grit to be incest, which is a bold choice. 5.5/10
Suicide Kale is fine. It has some minor laughs, mild intrigue and some genuine empathy at its centre. But it’s not exactly a standout in any way. 5.5/10
Splendid Isolation is some sort of ambient apocalypse. I’m not entirely sure I’m on board with that as a mood. But I still respect this film’s uniqueness, intent and especially its incredibly strong visuals. 5.6/10
While not bad as a film, this is a story I’ve seen multiple times done both better and more interesting. Gasoline is ultimately pretty forgettable if you’ve seen more than one queer crime film. 5.1/10
Beyond its underrepresented protagonist, there’s such a strong sense throughout the film of Jorge Manzano’s passion and talent as a storytelling. But so many of the decisions and limitations brought on by budget hinder that story from reaching its full potential. 5.0/10
While at times the movie skews a bit edgier, this is a very safe, entry-level sort of punk scene on display. The kind of punk ready to be beamed into your living room for a safe, stay-at-home watching experience. 5.9/10
NIMBY bites off more than it can chew. But I respect the attempt. This film is listed as a comedy and there are some jokes. But the subject matter is too dark and too prescient to be particularly funny. 5.3/10
