My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10

Daughters of Fire is not a series of scary images that is hollow at its centre. This is a movie loaded with meaning, intent and things to say both with its scares as well as in addition to these scares. 7/10
While Cuckoo is an imperfect movie, I respect it for taking risks, having original ideas and getting a few good, scary moments. 7/10
Chuck Chuck Baby was an unusual delight of a movie. A queer musical set in a chicken factory. The final product is so assured, so well-done and so delightful. 7.2/10
The brief period of time where at least in fiction, you could hide away from the troubles of the world in the arms of a pretty girl might be coming to an end. In its place is Foreign Language, where even in the arms of a pretty girl, the rise of far-right extremism and environmental collapse loom ever-present. 7.7/10
Summer is a competent film in a pretty overcrowded subgenre of other competent films. Summer is a pretty middling entry over all; not one of the all time greats, but still a good movie on its own. 6.4/10
Cora Bora is a fun, very modern comedy. It’s not a romance, but is focused on various relationships. And the focus of said relationships is largely what’s funny about them? And the answer is a lot. 6.8/10
This a quiet, tragic portrait of personal grief. But also a story that is incontrovertibly tied into issues of rights and equality for same-sex couples. 7.3/10
Because of the quality of the script, Julie Johnson transcends the mundane into being a really beautiful, moving piece of art. 7.8/10
Violette is a well put together biopic about a more than worthy subject. It is not exactly the most groundbreaking biopic by any measure and I still think it runs a touch long. But this is ultimately, a solid film. 6.8/10
