The Five Devils has a somewhat absurd premise that quality visuals and the always excellent Adèle Exarchopoulos really bolsters. These quality elements help sell this magical realist story about the bisexual agenda: adultery, acrobatics and arson. 7.2/10

So many experiences that cinema primarily assigns to young people are in fact, universal. Forgotten Roads feels tragically unique just because of its focus on older characters. 8.5/10
This is an all-around success. Nikki Si’ulepa and Rachel Aneta Wills found a way to make their personal love story universal and entertaining. 6.5/10
Night Comes On is unusual in how sensitively it treats this story of criminal youth and revenge. And there’s something extremely admirable there. But when it comes down to personal preference, I’ve never been one for subtlety. 6.7/10
This is a hilarious, inappropriate comedy with a serious bite. It’s shocking, laugh-out-loud funny and at times, batshit insane. I loved it. 8.3/10
As much as I don’t always understand that intent, The Girl and the Spider engaged me and caused me to think about deeper fictional themes than most movies, WLW or otherwise. 6.6/10
Fantasy of the Girls has no right to go as hard as it does. The plot is something you could find on a Nickolodeon show for pre-teens. But the handling of this plot gives the film such an air of intensity and maturity. 7.4/10
I’m not saying there are no nude scenes, but women actually spend more of the film with their clothes on, crafting complex relationships and inherently critiquing the Catholic church. 7.5/10
I didn’t realize how little representation there is for messy, mean sapphic women until I watched Girls Like Magic. Mean queers to the front, this movie is for you. 6.6/10
I can’t believe this movie exists. The style of it assures you it is indeed a film from 1969. But the content of its story is staggeringly progressive for its time. 6.5/10
