“Colette” Review: Keira Knightley Kisses Women, Sports a Suit, Destroys the Patriarchy

The biopic of Colette is only a fragment of her life, the one in which France’s most prolific writer realizes she cannot be contained.

Constance Wu’s Andi Chases Elusive Orgasms in Indie Lesbian Film “The Feels”

Lesbian mumblecore is practically its own genre at this point, but there’s something extra sweet and authentic about this movie.

“Crazy Rich Asians” Is a Delightful Escape Into Chinese Culture and the Matriarchy

Not only is it momentous to see stories with Asians at the forefront, this film does one better by centering on the experiences of different generations of Asian women.

“The Miseducation of Cameron Post” Is a Hopeful, Hilarious, Heartbreaking Lesbian Coming-of-Age Story

“There’s no male gaze in this movie, none whatsoever. Desiree Akhavan is a queer woman and her screenplay co-writer Cecilia Frugiuele is a queer woman too. It matters.”

“Duck Butter” Review: Good Lesbian Sex, Average Lesbian Mumblecore

Whether or not Alia Shawkat’s indie lesbian film lands with you in any real emotional way will probably depend on whether or not the characters grate on you.

I Watched Lesbian Movie “Liz in September” and You’ve Gotta Be Kidding Me

In which I hope this is actually just an hour and half long PSA for heatstroke.

In the Incredibles 2, Elastigirl looks over her shoulder at her long time crush. Both are in a dark, almost prison looking, cell. You cannot see Elasigirl's face.

For a Movie That’s Not Gay, “Incredibles 2” Sure Is Gay

“Ocean’s 8” Review: Women Doing Crimes And (Probably) Each Other

Come, let me whisper into your ear about this movie like Sandra Bullock seducing Sarah Paulson back into a life of elaborate heists.

“Hearts Beat Loud” is the Quirky, Queer Rom-Com We All Deserve

When was the last time a motion picture centered itself on the premise that a teenage, mixed race, black lesbian is worthy of support and love from everyone surrounding her? It’s simple and tender and because of those things it’s groundbreaking.

“Deadpool 2” Gave Negasonic Teenage Warhead a Girlfriend

Negasonic Teenage Warhead got a girlfriend and it’s not a big deal in the movie but it’s a pretty big deal in general.

“Disobedience” Review: Urgent Kisses, God, and Lesbian Spitplay

“Sex with an ex is complicated business, even when it’s good. And Disobedience lives in that beautiful mess of a place. The spitting feels almost like a spiritual ritual.”

“Samantha’s Amazing Acrocats” Is About the Price of Following Your Dreams and Also Circus Cats

For a documentary about a circus cat show, the film is about so much more about the human relationships that shape us. It’s about how us strays and weirdos put the glitter eyeshadow on because we know we’re actually superstars in waiting. Also, it’s about the world’s only all-cat rock band.

Lena Waithe’s Superstardom Reaches New Heights in “Ready Player One”

Whether you think Ready Player One is a cynical cash-grab or nostalgic ecstasy, the film answered the story’s main question in real life: Who deserves a seat at the table that shapes the story that shapes the world?
