J.T. LeRoy (2018) 55% EDIT “JT LeRoy is a movie suiting those who, at minimum, can entertain the idea that we might not get what we desperately want.” – Vague Visages Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Ammonite (2020) 70% EDIT “To fully appreciate Kate Winslet's rugged performance as Mary, viewers should consider where her career essentially began:... in 1994's ripped-from-the-headlines thriller Heavenly Creatures.” – Reverse Shot Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Knife + Heart (2018) 81% EDIT “There is suspense, sex. There are slayings. Yet often, we are instructed to approach with caution, as we are often their casualties. This difference in Knife+Heart is that queer characters are allowed prominent roles in their own tale.” – them. Jun 18, 2019 Full Review Clementine (2019) 62% EDIT “This is not a story of winning a lover back, or getting over a lover with another. It's a languid story of learning to sit with uneasiness, smartly guised as a genre piece.” – them. Jun 18, 2019 Full Review The Skin of the Teeth (2019) 71% EDIT “Matthew Wollin's first feature might be a shoestring indie with only two settings - a bachelor pad and a police station interrogation room - and a single camera set-up, but it keeps us enraptured until the very end.” – them. Jun 18, 2019 Full Review Rafiki (2018) 94% EDIT “The power of Kahiu's film is its articulation that faith can be as primal as what draws the girls to one another.” – Reverse Shot Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% EDIT “This is the film that some, regally bored with the Strong Female Lead category's refusal to deliver little else but clean-nosed heroines and transcendent victims, have been waiting for.” – Vague Visages Apr 12, 2019 Full Review AWOL (2016) 93% EDIT “Talking about class can be ugly. Yet as AWOL asserts, when you dare to comment, sometimes it frees up room for beauty to unfurl.” – Autostraddle Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Whitney: Can I Be Me (2017) 87% EDIT “It's surprising how little Broomfield inserts himself into the narrative...[he] is respectful and Crawford is only present in old footage...” – Autostraddle Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Disobedience (2017) 84% EDIT “Ronit's complexity never fully comes across in the film...” – them. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Thelma (2017) 92% EDIT “Horror allows Thelma to work with the history queer people have been dealt; the genre never requests an apology for yesterday's transgressions, but it might seek reparations by giving the viewer a few spooks.” – them. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Safe (1995) 88% EDIT “Intended to be an exploration of the attitudes and anxiety surrounding the AIDS crisis, Safe still possesses the ability to leave viewers breathless and squirming in their seats.” – them. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Jennifer's Body (2009) 47% EDIT “Jennifer's Body now ticks all of the boxes for what film audiences are now desperately demanding from Hollywood...” – them. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review The Owls (2010) EDIT “Cruelly ahead of its time...” – them. Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Regarding Susan Sontag (2014) 86% EDIT “While it would be easy to create a sterilized portrait of the accomplished intellectual, Kates refrains from doing so.” – Autostraddle Nov 3, 2018 Full Review My Girl (1991) 57% EDIT “When I watched My Girl as a kid, I spent 80% of the movie having Schwinn Bicycle and mood ring envy. Now, I'm also able to appreciate [the] dialogue...” – Autostraddle Nov 3, 2018 Full Review Foxfire (1996) 47% EDIT “The intermittently-spersed electric guitar solos make the movie a little less Revolution Grrrl Style Now and a lot more ABC After-School Special.” – Autostraddle Nov 3, 2018 Full Review The Beguiled (2017) 79% EDIT “Through Coppola's lens, The Beguiled finally returns to the female-centric perspective of Cullinan's novel.” – Wussy Mag Nov 3, 2018 Full Review Quiet Heroes (2018) 80% EDIT “Quiet Heroes is worthy of a loud round of applause.” – Fandor Nov 2, 2018 Full Review We the Animals (2018) 92% EDIT “It's a pleasure to see Justin Torres' quiet wisdom brought to visual life.” – Lambda Literary Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Colette (2018) 87% C EDIT “Because Colette, like its Willy, is obsessed with Colette as a docile young girl and the early literary works that bottle her youth, we never get to fully experience Colette's wisdom or queer catharsis.” – them. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) 86% A- EDIT “Given its chilly setting and its snarky teens, Cameron is bound to be compared to Jamie Babbit's 1999 ex-gay camp comedy But I'm a Cheerleader. Yet each film holds its own very well.” – them. Oct 16, 2018 Full Review Bad Reputation (2018) 78% EDIT “Bad Reputation reminds us that people with a knack for keeping their cool during trying times aren't apathetic. Sometimes, they're exactly what we - and our headphones - need.” – Autostraddle Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart (2017) 100% EDIT “Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart, fourteen years in the making, is a great example of a work that thoughtfully and creatively layers ideas about gender and sexuality alongside race.” – Autostraddle Apr 20, 2018 Full Review Lizzie (2018) 66% EDIT “Lizzie is brutal, historically attuned, and committed to exploring effeminate trauma and retaliation.” – Autostraddle Apr 20, 2018 Full Review
