Scrubbers is an excellent piece of feminist filmmaking and a welcome alternative to women in prison exploitation. Its understanding and depiction of humanity is something that looks so easy under the eye of director and co-writer Mai Zetterling. 8.2/10

Gondola not only celebrates the medium of film with its beautiful visuals but also gives me one of the cutest romances I’ve seen in quite some time. And it accomplishes both these things with nearly zero dialogue. 7.1/10
There are some universal themes in Red Cow, of course. But even these themes are always explored through a lens of cultural specificity. This is Red Cow’s triumph. 6.6/10
Chedeng and Apple is dark, it’s funny and it also has a truly beautiful amount of heart to it. 7.6/10
The Fallout. This is an incredibly sensitive and well-directed tragedy about specifically American teenagers. Megan Park really knows how to create a young female protagonist who is realistic, interesting, flawed and engaging to watch. 9.0/10
I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10
The Midwife’s Tale is something new in WLW movie canon, a bedtime story. And it’s not just new, but well executed and not-so-subtly radical in its themes of queerness, feminism and reproductive health in medieval and modern times.
having seen numerous of these toxic female relationship films, Heartbeast’s artistic merits and gripping atmosphere kept me on the edge of my seat. That’s what I want a thriller to do and that’s often something I miss from this subgenre. 6.7/10
Get ready to yearn in harmony , because Farewell Song will make you do just that. 7.1/10
Light Light Light’s great creative choices elevate the film above many of the European coming-of-age films that came before. 7.9/10
