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
I have respect Gridiron Grind because of the story it chose to tell. But I also really wish that the execution of that story had matched the potential of this narrative.
The Slave is one of the most stylish softcore films I’ve seen. It delves deeper into kink than other similar movies. What I would give for a version of this movie that had dialogue to back up the rest of the film’s good qualities. 5.6/10
The First Girl I Loved (2019) is not the most groundbreaking or ambitious film, especially in its visual choices. But this small-scale tragedy is tender enough to generate some emotion. 6.1/10
August at Twenty-Two came too late in the mumblecore subgenre to be a classic. But even if it had a release ten years earlier, I doubt it would’ve been then either. 5.5/10
while in the grand scheme of all movies, maybe S&M Sally isn’t an all-time great, it’s still a pretty solid feature that is funny, knowledgeable about BDSM and shows continued growth from creator, Michelle Ehlen. 5.8/10
Backspot has a lot of strengths. Primarily, the rendering of its main character and the incredible performance from Jacobs. But the film is a touch uneven and unfocused. 5.8/10
Heartland is just the next victim of my WLW film burnout era. While the film is competent, there isn’t enough here that’s unique and memorable to me. 5.3/10
while I personally found Suddenly interesting and engaging, I don’t think that opinion holds much weight as I can’t even fully justify it to myself. 5.7/10
