Review: Movie on The Depth of Elite Sporty Lesbians

Sarah and I recently watched Nyad, the biographical sports drama of swimmer Diana Nyad starring Annette Benning and Jodie Foster. This movie I am glad to have watched, but also feel my preconceptions about elite sports and record breaking attempts are confirmed. Totally. Not in a good way. So here’s my review. The film picks […]

Elijah Reviews New Disney Movie ‘Wish’

Disney Wish Movie

Elijah has been handling reviews for awhile here. What’s more, I’m switching to embedding Tiktok videos because of the captions. And then, we were invited to review the new Disney flick ‘Wish.’ I sent the Disney enthusiasts. Still, Elijah’s review focuses on what he saw/heard in the movie as “homage” to the legacy of Disney.

Review: ‘Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?’ Is the Movie I Needed 40 Years Ago

Spoilers. I’ve been pretty excited to see this movie. The book was a staple in my precious library along with the entire Judy Blume collection. So we recently took advantage of a quiet night to rent the movie. I was not disappointed. The movie begins with a confident Margaret circa 1970 enjoying her time at […]

’10 Days in a Madhouse’ Is Just a Terrible Movie

Nellie Bly Movie

Let me start here – I really wanted to like this movie. As an adult woman from Pittsburgh living with mental illness, I have mad respect (see what I did there?) for Nellie Bly and I hoped that this movie version of her investigation into the mental health system of her day would contribute a […]

Movie Review: Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List is a Terrible Will & Grace Retread

Naomi & Ely No Kiss List Review

Note – this is not part of the ReelQ Film Festival, but I promised I would review it so here you go. This was one of the worst LGBTQ flicks I’ve seen in recent years. Maybe I’m just too middle-aged, but this ho hum coming of age tale plays out like a fanfic backstory to […]

Review of the Movie ‘Tangerine’

Last week, Ledcat and I decided to catch the indie-film ‘Tangerine’ at The Harris Theater. The film follows two trans women during the course of one Christmas Day in Los Angeles. Alexandra and Sin-Dee are best friends with aspirations, hopes and lots of street smarts. Sin-Dee is on a quest to track down her erstwhile […]

A Reel Take On the Movie ‘Boys’
