Desert Hearts (1985) Curve Staff Desert Hearts gives a glimpse of the other side of the picture – it shows us unprejudiced characters, even in1950s Nevada.

The World Unseen (2007) Candace Moore A rich exploration of bigotry of all kinds.

Salt (2010) Rachel Shatto With this role Jolie continues to carve out and define the image of the female action star, infusing Salt with equal parts bravado and vulnerability.

My Normal (2009) Rachel Shatto Ultimately, My Normal is a naughtily charming tale about being true to yourself, no matter what your normal is.

Red Doors (2005) Malinda Lo It is a new kind of Asian-American film, one that doesn't deal with immigrant identity issues but focuses instead on how these damaged individuals come to terms with each other and their imperfect, but loving, family.

Milk (2008) Candace Moore Every queer person worth her salt should see this film at least once.

Iris (2001) Samiya A. Bashir Winslet and Dench play off each other in perfect pitch.

Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) Samiya A. Bashir Why is this film important to know about? Because we all may need the heads-up for our more Sapphically challenged friends and family who will (I promise) try to bond with us over this film.

Warm Bodies (2013) Curve Staff It may not have the heart of Levine’s previous effort, 50/50 or the humour of his Sundance fave The Wackness -- but Warm Bodies still has plenty that will appeal to its target audience.

1/5
My Little Friend (2011) Heather Bennett It seems like the actors did not have a script and made it up as they went along.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Margarita (2012) Lauren Shiro Margarita is a simply fabulous film. It will entertain you, and it will touch your heart.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
My Normal (2009) Curve Staff My Normal suffers from a severe lack of conflict.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Potiche (2010) Merryn Johns This charming tale of a cosseted French housewife, Suzanne, who takes over her tyrannical husband’s umbrella factory and meets the requests of its mutinous employees, is a tale of feminist awakening -- it’s a war of the classes, and the sexes.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Farewell, My Queen (2012) Merryn Johns [Farewell, My Queen has] impeccable acting, a witty script, luxurious production values, and mesmerizing performances from the female leads.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Bitch Slap (2009) Rachel Shatto If you like smoking hot gay women with guns, trucker mouths and a disdain for the law -- and really, who doesn’t? -- then you’re in for a treat.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
The Tourist (2010) Jillian Eugenios The action scenes are sluggish when they should punch, the leads seem indifferent when we’re to believe they’re falling in love, and there’s a sense of burden as the plot twists and turns.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Lover's Game (2015) Michelle Faye The creators of Lover’s Game have clearly worked hard to deliver a film that deals with the complexities of falling in love with the right person, at the wrong time.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
5/5
Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) Michelle Faye Make sure you have tissues with you (lots of them!) because the performance of these young girls is nothing short of revelatory.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Reaching for the Moon (2013) Michelle Faye A truly wonderful cinematic achievement.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Tru Love (2013) Michelle Faye Full of laughter, love and tears, Tru Love is a sparkling gem of a film.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Elena Undone (2010) Lauren Shiro This is an incredibly well done film.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
The Gymnast (2006) Lauren Shiro The Gymnast is a story that pulls you in from the very beginning. From the amazing aerial work to the brutally honest emotions, this is one film you will thoroughly enjoy.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Fire (1996) Judith M. Redding Beautiful cinematography makes Fire a delight for the eye, and the film's political messages will really make you think.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Wild Things (1998) Judith M. Redding Don't say we didn't warn you. Although there are moments of lesbian lust between Campbell and Richards, the plot is weak and the film is aimed at a hetero market.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together (2011) Lauren Shiro Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together is a fun, light-hearted look at the depth, complexity, and nature of human relationships.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
First Girl I Loved (2016) Lisa Tedesco Writer/director Karen Sanga offers us a look back to our high school days. The days that were full of heartbreak, love, fun and growth.
Posted May 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Childhood's End (1996) Judith M. Redding Lipsky captures the essence of relationships between these teens, and their struggles for individuality and identy.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Tender Fictions (1996) Judith M. Redding Hammer is quick to point out, however, that history is subjective -- essentially fictional -- but by making her own life the subject of her art, she has saved us a rich slice of that subjective history.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
The Watermelon Woman (1996) Judith M. Redding A challenging look at racism and homophobia in both the Thirties and the Nineties.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Antonia's Line (1995) Judith M. Redding A primer in the empowerment of women, not to mention a painterly, epic look at matriarchy.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Costa Brava (1995) Judith M. Redding Costa Brava is a sensitive look at true love in this crazy world.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Girl Play (2004) Diane Anderson-Minshall Vivacious, sexy, clever and necrotic.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Summertime (2015) Allie Esslinger What veteran director Catherine Corsini is able to do with the powerhouse performances by [Cécile De France and Izïa Higelin] is to weave the familiar moments of self-discovery into the broader narrative of the early days of the feminist movement.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Basic Instinct (1992) Martha Ertman Basic Instinct is the most feminist film I have seen since Thelma and Louise.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (1991) Nicole Thorpe The film succeeds on many levels. The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe provides laughs aplenty, with Wagner's penchant for one-liners that convey social commentary.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Everything Relative (1996) Judith M. Redding The theme is tired and familiar... the outcome? Predictable and flat.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Bar Girls (1994) Zélie Pollon Kudos to Bar Girls for getting more lesbian images on the big screen.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
Fish and Elephant (2001) Samiya A. Bashir Li Yu made an extraordinary decision to cast ordinary folk in the film, and they each turn in raw, honest performances.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
A Family Affair (2001) Samiya A. Bashir A Family Affair is full of comic treats.
Posted May 23, 2022  Edit critic review
5/5
Wonder Woman (2017) Jane Fae Wonder Woman is flawed, clichéd, imperfect. But it has moments -- more than a few -- where I found myself shedding a slight tear. Sometimes sadness. Sometimes elation.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
4/5
The Innocents (2016) Curve Staff The Innocents is recommended, if confronting viewing, and it’s a film that should remain with its audience for a considerable time.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Freeheld (2015) Curve Staff Moore and Page deliver powerful, heartfelt performances in this stirring tribute to an ordinary couple whose love and integrity compelled them to demand equal rights in an extraordinary act of courage.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Handsome Devil (2016) Curve Staff Handsome Devil is well acted, especially by the two young leads, and it also features a great soundtrack. Some of the secondary roles are slightly clichéd and under-developed, but this does not detract from the story’s overall impact.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Widows (2018) Merryn Johns There’s no glamour here. No glittering red carpet wish fulfillment. This is a Chicago-set, blood-sweat-and-tears-soaked caper upon which lives depend.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) Merryn Johns Rami Malek is brazenly resplendent in the role, summoning Mercury’s high-energy performance antics as well as his mournful, introspective side.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) Merryn Johns This film is a bittersweet delight and McCarthy shines in a role that should be thoroughly unappealing but isn’t. In fact, she delivers a kind of queer, feminist anti-hero that I have not seen before.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
On Chesil Beach (2018) Merryn Johns Ronan is stunning as Florence. Simultaneously fierce and delicate, she is the embodiment of a young woman who navigates the traps of heterosexuality -- without a feminist slogan or women’s group in sight.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Bombshell (2019) Merryn Johns A clever and sharp delight and zips by; it may leave you breathless and wanting more.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) Merryn Johns Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is passionate, elegant, and elemental.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Mary Queen of Scots (2018) Merryn Johns This is Ronan’s film and her performance is stellar. Far from being merely a villain or a rebel, her Mary is an independent woman full of life whose belief system is more aligned to women of today.
