Opus (2025) 41% B- “Edebiri and Malkovich are fantastic, and Green has a knack for blending fright, tension, and humor, meaning that "Opus" is far from an atrocity. ” – Bay Area Reporter Mar 24, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 95% B “The always dependable Morales delivers the goods here. The same can also be said for Martin-Green, Ambudkar, and of course, Freeman. ” – Bay Area Reporter Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% C- “A depressing blend of sexual compulsion, infidelity, inappropriate workplace behavior, abuse of power, degradation, and heterosexual horror. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% A- “Elliot's stop-motion animation work is nothing less than dazzling. ” – Bay Area Reporter Nov 18, 2024 Full Review High Tide (2024) 100% A- “"High Tide" is a different kind of gay movie. The Provincetown setting, which Calvani captures beautifully and authentically rendered characters make this a movie not to be missed.” – Bay Area Reporter Nov 11, 2024 Full Review I'll Be Right There (2024) 86% B- “Having a riveting performer such Falco as the focus elevates the movie and prevents it from going off the rails.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 28, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 96% A- “At its core, it's a movie about standing out and fitting in, chosen family, friendship, and survival.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Ganymede (2024) 75% B “What sets "Ganymede" apart from other movies about queer teens coming out in religiously conservative households, and the dreadfulness of conversion therapy, is the way the screenplay, written by Holt, interweaves elements of horror...” – Bay Area Reporter Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Skincare (2024) 69% B- “Banks does a good job of portraying a woman, for whom appearance is everything, coming apart at the seams. ” – Bay Area Reporter Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% B+ “Reynolds, who also gets writing credit, completely outshines Jackman.” – Bay Area Reporter Aug 7, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% B+ “Director/screenwriter Michael Sarnoski, handily proves that he's capable of delivering something on this scale. He treats the concept respectfully.” – Bay Area Reporter Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Janet Planet (2023) 85% B- “For a feature debut, especially one with such a talented cast, "Janet Planet" could have easily spun out of orbit. It's to Baker's credit that the planets aligned. ” – Bay Area Reporter Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Queen of the Deuce (2022) 86% A- “Informative and entertaining in the best ways possible, "Queen of the Deuce" takes its place in the pantheon of must-see queer documentaries.” – Bay Area Reporter Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Hidden Master: The Legacy of George Platt Lynes (2023) 100% A- “Lynes's story, one of privilege and passion, creativity and connections, genius, and queerness, will be familiar to some, while for others, it will be like discovering a treasure trove of artistic expression. ” – Bay Area Reporter Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Handling the Undead (2024) 75% B- “There is a Bergman-esque quality to all the silent staring done by the characters.” – Bay Area Reporter May 21, 2024 Full Review Queen of Knives (2024) 71% C- “One of the biggest issues with "Queen of Knives" movie is the acting, especially in the case of Gene Pope, who muddles his way through every scene in which he appears.” – Bay Area Reporter May 6, 2024 Full Review Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All (2023) 93% A- “Known for supporting multiple causes, including LGBTQ, indigenous, environmental, social justice, and empowering the disenfranchised, among others, the doc honors the contributions the duo has made for many years. ” – Bay Area Reporter Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Glitter & Doom (2023) 50% C “"Glitter & Doom" attempts to take the jukebox movie musical to new heights. Unfortunately, it just keeps getting in its own way. ” – Bay Area Reporter Mar 18, 2024 Full Review I.S.S. (2023) 61% B “As you might imagine, there are alliances and clashes, and ultimately, a mounting body count.” – Bay Area Reporter Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 69% C- “The trend of adapting films into stage musicals and then movie musicals has produced hits such as Hairspray, and misses including The Producers. Mean Girls, falls somewhere in between, although it leans closer to a miss.” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 30, 2024 Full Review We Live Here: The Midwest (2023) C- “It's admirable that Melinda Maerker wanted to address a segment of the population that doesn't get much attention, but the execution is flawed.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 71% B “Fennell deserves praise for the way she continues to incorporate queer characters and storylines into her work. Where Saltburn goes slightly awry is that some scenes... feel endless.” – Bay Area Reporter Nov 27, 2023 Full Review My Animal (2023) 72% B “My Animal fits in well with the other recent horror flicks that borrow from the groundwork laid by its predecessors and eventually putting a 21st-century spin on the storytelling.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Kiss Me Kosher (2020) B “It's an effective queer romcom that also manages to make a political statement.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% “Barbie, while far from perfect, is an unexpectedly delightful breath of fresh and campy air with a reasonably well-delivered feminist message.” – Bay Area Reporter Aug 8, 2023 Full Review
