Freeheld is a story that absolutely deserved to be told, dead lesbian and all. It’s based on an important legal battle for queer rights and the movie does a great job with adapting the story. 8.1/10

If you’re looking for a WLW movie that’s funny, violent and features queer teenagers with magic powers, All Cheerleaders Die might be one to check out. 7.7/10
Fatal Frame the movie has more or less nothing to do with said video game. It does have lesbians though. Frankly, I think this movie should inspire others to make video game tie-ins that may or may not have anything to do with the source material but definitely contain queer content. 6.6/10
Even by decades-old exploitation film standards, The Blood Spattered Bride is pretty overt in its fear of feminism and lesbianism. However, that fear is so prominent that I think it loops back around into being borderline complimentary. 6.9/10
Disobedience is a pretty heavy movie to sit through. It does end hopefully but man, the journey it takes to get there can be pretty rough. It is absolutely a good movie, though. 8.4/10
The screenplay of Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right is the star of the show. It finds universal truths about family in a movie about gay parenting. 8.6/10
Objectively, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is good. Great, even. Significantly better critics than me all agree this movie is a masterpiece and I’m not going to dispute that. 9.5/10
Featuring a brilliant cast headed by Lily Tomlin, Paul Weitz’s Grandma is a funny and heartfelt movie whose main character is a lesbian senior citizen. 8.8/10
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a small, personal movie. It is not about someone changing the world or experiencing some major historical event. It’s just a small scale, very human tragedy. It remains gripping due to its excellent writing directing and superb performances. 8.8/10
Featuring a well-developed love story and some truly top-notch cinematography, The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a stunning and moving film to behold. 9/10
