I’ve seen recent examples of how you can tell a story about this sort of underage relationship without sexualizing it. But that’s not what The Beguines is there to do. The Beguines is there to be sexy.

Loss Prevention got a few laughs out of me and put me in a good mood. I enjoyed seeing a professional wrestler depict one of the best fathers in lesbian cinema. But ultimately, I don’t think this is quite good enough to get the passing grade. 4.9/10
Personally, I did not enjoy The Ladies Almanack. That being said, the amount of love, passion and creativity present in every shot in this film is something I admire. 4.6/10
You’re Not Supposed To Be Here is a Lifetime thriller. There was basically a 0% chance this thing was going to be good. But at least it’s a watchable kind of bad. 4.2/10
This is a really forgettable film with a standard premise and below average execution. 3/10
In 600 WLW movies, I’ve seem so absolute garbage. And Don’t Look at Me That Way isn’t on that level. But that doesn’t mean there’s enough here to recommend either. 4.6/10
This movie is so bad that it made me respect cinema as a genre more, with the notable exception of The White Book which reconstructed my conceptualization of what a truly terrible film looks like. 1.4/10
There’s no edge to Bar Girls at all. This is a film that takes the still taboo theme of homosexuality and tries to make it as palatable as possible for the mainstream. And it doesn’t even look like that worked. 4.6/10
This is one of those movies that I give a negative review to because there’s just not enough positive to say about it. The film is a bit thin on the ground anyway, and what they do present is less than great. 3.8/10
Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough created an idealized, misogynistic world where the only women in it are hot. And then made the choice to hate all the women it just made up. 2/10
