“This movie is like visual Zoloft in that I haven’t worried about anything while watching it but I haven’t felt alive either.”
I Watched Lesbian Classic “I Can’t Think Straight” and I Want to Send Its Writer an Edible Arrangement
It’s a lesbian movie miracle.
“Almost Adults” Is a Cute Lesbian Movie to Add to the Very Short List of Actually Good Lesbian Movies
Almost Adults isn’t perfect, but there’s a lot to love about a film that sidesteps so many traditional lesbian movie tropes. (Including: No one dies!)
“Moana” Celebrates the Power, Strength and Magic of Brown Girls But Misses the Mark With Pacific Islander Representation
One of my favorite parts of the movie is the reverence that Moana has for her ancestors and her culture, even while she pushes it and challenges it to embrace the future. This is a reality that many POC, especially queer ones have to deal with.
I Watched Lesbian Classic “Go Fish” For The First Time And Wow WTF Is This Movie
Like a spinning top on a checker board, these are the days of our lives.

“Hidden Figures” Shines As Bright As The Stars
When you’re stargazing, remember Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson’s work. Tell their stories over and over. They’ve been silenced for so long; now it’s our turn to keep them alive.

“Me Before You” Is the Most Terrifying Horror Film of 2016
Me Before You isn’t half-baked schlock that crumbles under the weight of its own unconscionable ignorance. No — instead, director Thea Sharrock and writer Jojo Moyes gave us a bio-horror masterpiece about a deadly outbreak of Ableism in small-town Wales. With Halloween upon us, it’s time their efforts got the recognition they deserve.
Margarita With a Straw Comes to Netflix, (Almost) Delivers the Disabled Queer Character We Need
I had my doubts – because honestly, consuming media as a disabled person is an exercise in disappointment. So I was cautious when Margarita finally popped up on Netflix. Could it be? Was it really that good?
Clea DuVall’s “The Intervention” Is Fun But Flawed (And Super White)
It’s wonderful to see two queer women dealing with complex and honest relationship problems that are treated with the same nuance and depth as those of the straight couples on screen, but DuVall never quite manages to step out of the shadow of The Big Chill.
“AWOL” Tackles Rural Poverty in a Brillant Lesbian Love Story
It’s too easy to note that small places are slow at addressing issues of gender and sexuality while not exploring why. This is the answer to the why (and it’s one that AWOL addresses exceptionally well): Because there are far bigger fish to fry.
Tallulah: Ellen Page Doesn’t Play Gay, But You Should Watch It Anyway
This isn’t a May-December lesbian romance. Janney and Page revive and expand upon the chemistry they shared as step-mother and daughter in Juno. But it is a movie about women — about women who have been abandoned, who find each other, who hurt each other deeply.
Look, All The Women In “Ghostbusters” Are Gay — Deal With It
I may be extrapolating, but I am pulling my theories from very real, very present stuff. This is basically science, y’all.
