I’m a big fan of how The Quietude depicts its fucked up content. They underplay it. There’s this sense that the characters in the film and perhaps the film itself don’t quite realize how fucked up this all is. And that juxtaposition makes it all the more disturbing. 7.5/10

I thought I didn’t like these Christmas movies because they’re cliche. Turns out, I just didn’t like them because they’re all straight. Under the Christmas Tree gives me and other queer women a sweet, cliche romance that allows us to fantasize or imagine ourselves in. 6.6/10
This is a well-shot movie with a genuinely interesting psychosexual dynamic between its leads. But don’t worry, there’s still tits aplenty as well. 6.9/10
The War Widow undoubtedly looks like a 1976 TV movie. But within that framework, there is a sweet, small yet quietly radical romance. 6.3/10
Technically, Laurie, the lead character in 2 Seconds is bisexual. But really, more than anything she’s bikesexual. But you know what they say, you can’t spell bicycle without bi. 6.4/10
There’s so much more subtly to Tár than I expected. This is an exceptional character study of a woman who is awful, but in a way that feels complex and real. 8.4/10
Everyone will have a different opinion about what Je Tu Il Elle is about. And that’s what makes it so brilliant. 9.1/10
May’s weirdness as a film and as a character brilliantly exemplifies some of the themes of queer horror. There’s definite appeal here for queer people, weirdos and anyone who considers them self an outsider. 7.1/10
I hope streaming service Shudder keeps snapping up these gay A24 cast-off horror films. The Last Thing Mary Saw might not be as good as say, The Witch, but few things are. 7/10
Carmilla is the rare film I wish were longer. I did not want to leave the story and world this film created. 7.6/10
