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
Gunpowder Heart is a heavy, depressing sit. As it should be. Camila Urrutia successfully channelled her rage, sadness and desire for change into her art. 7.5/10
