Sapphic Cinema: Imagine Me & You

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Imagine Me & You

(This review was originally published on January 5, 2016.) You know that part in The Lord of The Rings when Galadriel hands Frodo a vial full of light from the most beloved star of the elves? Well, if Galadriel had been a lesbian (I mean clearly she and Celeborn had some kind of “arrangement”), that…

Sapphic Cinema: Viola di Mare

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Viola di Mare

(This review was originally published on October 2, 2015.) Hello and welcome back to Sapphic Cinema, the column series that has made my YouTube homepage the most embarrassing place on Earth. This week we look at 2009’s Viola di Mare (which translates as The Purple Sea, because I guess things are are different colors if…

Sapphic Cinema: But I’m a Cheerleader

July 9, 2019June 16, 2021Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: But I’m a Cheerleader

(This review was originally published on September 25, 2015.) But I’m A Cheerleader is one of the five best lesbian movies ever made. I’m not telling you what the others are, but I’ve preemptively dusted off a spot on the podium for Carol; I pray it earns it. Now, it has long been my belief…

Sapphic Cinema: Room in Rome

July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Room in Rome

(This review was originally published on August 21, 2015.) I may be the only lesbian on Earth who likes Room in Rome.  Its Netflix rating, which you’d think would be buoyed up by our demographic (or at least straight guys who dig the nudity), is a paltry two and a half stars. I was talking…

Sapphic Cinema: Bound

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Bound

(This review was originally published on August 21, 2015.) Hello and welcome back to Sapphic Cinema, the column series that is seriously messing with the recommendations on my mom’s Netflix account. This week’s selection is 1996’s Bound, the directorial debut of the Wachowskis and the cultural moment at which half of America’s lesbians got dumb…

Sapphic Cinema: D.E.B.S.

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: D.E.B.S.

(This review was originally published on August 14, 2015.) I knew I was gay such a very long time before I knew I was gay.  For example, I specifically remember reading Peter Travers’ review of D.E.B.S in Rolling Stone, and while it would be two more years before the lesbian storyline was directly relevant to…

Sapphic Cinema: Desert Hearts

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Desert Hearts

(This review was originally published on August 7, 2015.) So far in this column, we’ve had a lot of fun ribbing the lesbian film genre, and don’t worry, we’re still going to do a lot of that (I’m coming for you, Elena Undone). But it’s also important to remember that among the movies we love…

Sapphic Cinema: When Night is Falling

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: When Night is Falling

(This review was originally published on July 30, 2015.) Hello and welcome back to Sapphic Cinema, the column series where we will eventually review every lesbian movie ever made.  (Except Blue Is The Warmest Color. I promise you right now we will never be discussing that spaghetti-stained pile of French garbage.)  This week, we return…

Sapphic Cinema: Better Than Chocolate

July 9, 2019July 9, 2019Elaine AtwellLeave a Comment on Sapphic Cinema: Better Than Chocolate

(This review was originally published on July 23, 2015.) Hello and welcome to Sapphic Cinema, a new column series celebrating the gems of queer film history.  Of course, not all gems are created equally. Some are diamonds, some are quartz, some are things you thought were rocks but which turn out to be ossified pieces…

Clexacon 2018: The Long-Awaited Review

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018Alexandra ResslerLeave a Comment on Clexacon 2018: The Long-Awaited Review

Last year, your favorite anxious autistic asshole skulked around Clexacon like a cat in a rocking chair factory. This year, it was once more unto the breach. Did she succeed?  Did she make friends? Did she throw up all over the hotel? Time and this review will tell! Oh my god. The lines. Lines everywhere.…
