I expected Immacolata and Concetta: The Other Jealousy to be far more sleazy than it was. Instead, the film is fairly underplayed. I’ll be honest, I found myself missing some of the sleaze. 5.5/10

I don’t think this movie adds much to the conversation in regards to the film’s two major themes: grief, and restaurant ownership. 5.1/10
Prom Dates is like if Booksmart was designed by a Disney+ committee. That’s all you need to know, really. 5.5/10
Instead of going for big moments, The Accident presents a subtler, more real look at some nice, boring lesbians, a messy pair of heterosexuals and a disaffected teen who could really use some kindness. 5.7/10
Sure, the script could’ve used another draft and the acting isn’t gonna win anyone an Oscar. But this is such a heartwarming, wonderfully ordinary romance that shows queer and trans joy at any age. 5.9/10
There’s a vagueness to Silver Haze even while its visuals are blunt and unflinching. All of this feels fitting for a film that takes its title from a strain of weed. 6.1/10
This is a great little time capsule of 90s lesbian culture both in its small scale production and its larger scale optimism about lesbians breaking through into the mainstream and being largely normalized. 6.0/10
ill Two Dash One One stand up against the all-time great films about death and the afterlife? Maybe not. But especially for a small budget indie, I really welcomed a more novel approach to the stories one can tell under those conditions. 5.7/10
Let’s Meet Halfway is a technically proficient small indie that does the damnedest with what little it had to work with. I’m going for forget all about it by the end of this week. 5.4/10
With everything that’s happening right now it’s not exactly the time for a movie such as this. But as has become apparent to me, it is never gonna be the time for this. And I fear that Kiss Me Kosher only gets less funny as time goes on. 5.0/10
