Water Lilies got fairly good reviews from various critics so maybe I’m being too harsh. But personally, I couldn’t see past my own displeasure in regards to the sexualization and objectification of minors to enjoy it. 4.9/10

Based on an exceptionally interesting historical figure, The Girl King is a two hour exercise in wasted potential and disappointment. 4.8/10
There’s no joy to be found in Lost and Delirious nor positive representation of queer people. It just seems like all this queer tragedy could have been avoided if anyone had a lick of sense or had a rational conversation. 4.9/10
The only thing that saves Therese and Isabelle from being out and out boring its persistent overlay of sleaze. 3.5/10
If you like wacky misunderstand romantic comedies, you will like this movie just fine. As for me, I found it too hard to find humour in the events depicted in Out at the Wedding as they became increasingly elaborate and ridiculous. 3.6/10
Allure is a relentlessly unpleasant movie to sit through. The writer/director team who did this should be banned from ever again doing movies about abuse, mental illness, women, relationships or people. 4.1/10
Movies need to have drama, it’s why we watch them. But My Normal was so focused on having its protagonist not encounter much drama in order to “normalize” her identity as a lesbian and dominatrix that we get very little of this. 2.2/10
On its own, And Then Came Lola is poor. Having seen the film it’s based on, it becomes infuriating. Any film that bases itself so heavily on an existent film is risky because it welcomes comparisons to the original. In this case, And Then Came Lola came up short time after time. 2.8/10
The Final Girl is the worst WLW movie I’ve ever seen. It’s also the worst LGBT* themed movie, the worst art film and the worst french movie I’ve seen. In short, The Final Girl is the actual worst film I have ever seen.
One of Bare’s major sins is the fact that is is deeply forgettable. By the time it ends, I’d already forgotten how it started. The only aspect of Bare that broke through and made an impression on me was its general incompetence. 4.2/10
