The best thing I can say about it is that it didn’t monumentally fuck anything up. I’ve seen my fair share of movies that fail to meet that requirement. However, not fucking up doesn’t mean Us x Her did anything particularly good, either. 4.6/10

Showing one’s real story is a respectable goal, especially when it’s something as frequently sensationalized as polyamory. But Petit Mal is so specific it doesn’t work as a portrait of polyamory. It only functions as a portrait of Ruth Caudeli’s specific relationship. 4.5/10
l just think if you’re going to make a story as melodramatic as Who Am I Now? that you need to have some specifics. It can’t just be constant scenes of women crying, declaring, “I can’t do this” and running away. 3.2/10
Far from depicting unconditional love, Coming Home For Christmas portrays extremely conditional love and support. There’s a line in the movie about how family should be the place where you can be the truest version of yourself. But everything that happens in this movie disproves that. 2.7/10
Hallmark movies can feel like a warm mug of cocoa. City of Trees is more like a glass of water you left on your bedside table in December over night for a week. 3.8/10
Ashamed has ambitions of being artsy and profound. Unfortunately, such ambitions were lost on me. I spent most of the movie just trying to keep straight what was happening. 3/10
The amount of poly films I’ve seen probably lessens my regard for this specific one. I’ve seen the beats of this story many times before. And Before We Grow Old’s take on those beats is a particularly boring one. 4.8/10
Most sapphic movies that are bad and cheap are just boring. Butterfly Crush ain’t boring. It’s weird as hell and so incompetent it almost reaches the uncanny valley Yeah, the core love story here is between a man and a woman. But please, let me have this one. I need it. 2.1/10
The Nightmare Gallery is slightly better, but much less interesting than you might think from looking at this review’s header image. 2.9/10
While Blood of the Tribades has a sense of humour, this is a movie that has some weirdly deep lore and is ultimately, not a comedy. Which is sort of disappointing because it doesn’t exactly work as a horror movie. 4.1/10
