The Secrets is a complex and emotional film. It is one of the best WLW films I’ve seen. Great writing and great performances make this an engaging, exceptional film. 9.2/10
utterfly is a simple, gorgeous and effective drama. It is not only a heart-wrenching depiction of what it is like to be gay in Hong Kong but has universal truths about being gay regardless of country. 8.3/10
The Hours is a great and heartbreaking movie. Full of great dialogue, great performances and difficult themes, it is an emotional, sometimes heartbreaking film. 9/10
Made during the indie/Sundance film festival boom of the 1990’s, High Art is an incredibly polished, precise piece of work. 8/10
‘m just overall charmed by A Date for Mad Mary. This is a movie with an exceeding amount of talent packed into a very tight run time without ever feeling overstuffed. 8.6/10
Somehow, despite this words being basically antonyms, Miao Miao is a lighthearted tragedy involving a bisexual love triangle. 6.5/10
