    The Holiday Club

    The Holiday Club, Alexandra Swarens’ third sapphic holiday rom-com, tells the story of Sam, who hates holidays, and Bailey, who loves them. The two cross paths on Valentine’s Day in small-town Ohio, bonding over pastries and instant chemistry. As the year goes by, they grow closer with every holiday, but their journey to romance is anything but smooth.

    The film’s low budget is obvious—especially with the noticeable lack of extras, making many scenes feel strangely empty. That said, Swarens and…

  • Love Lies Bleeding

    Love Lies Bleeding

    ★★★★

    "Love Lies Bleeding" is a captivating thriller/romance. It’s got everything—from moments that'll make you laugh out loud to scenes that'll have you on the edge of your seat, totally hooked.

    What really sets this movie apart is its A24 vibe. The performances are top-notch, and the direction is spot-on, making it feel like a true work of art, even though the storyline might sound a bit familiar. Kristen Stewart and Katy M. O'Brian absolutely nail it as two women caught…

    American Fiction

    ★★★★½

    "American Fiction" is this really cool comedy-drama that dives into the world of a writer named Monk Ellison. He's frustrated and takes on this whole thing about how Black entertainment gets exploited. The actors are amazing, and the movie gets deep into race, identity, and how literature becomes this commercial thing. It's not just about writing; it touches on family, relationships, and the craziness that comes with chasing success in a system full of stereotypes. Seriously, if you're into movies that make you think, this one's a must-watch!

  • Season of Love

    Season of Love

    ★★★★

    Season Of Love presents three Sapphic love stories, with Iris and Mardou's narrative standing out as exceptionally compelling. Despite its low-budget, the film is remarkably well-crafted and engaging, with commendable performances from the main actors portraying WLW characters convincingly. It's a positive step towards more diverse representation in Christmas movies by showcasing multiple Sapphic couples. Overall, I recommend watching it; there's a chance one of the three couples will resonate with you.
