The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “... mesmerizing as we watch Seyfried immerse herself totally in Lee, we marvel at the film’s entrancing audaciousness, even if its incongruities, lack of insight, and emotional chilliness prevent it from becoming the masterpiece it might’ve been.” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% EDIT “It’s watchable yet instantly forgettable after it ends.” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Instead, it’s an average mishmash held together by the pizazz of Erivo/Grande. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “It’s wildly inventive but too clever for its own good. Yet the thrilling moments make it worthwhile even if the whole isn’t greater than the sum of its parts.” – Bay Area Reporter Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 91% EDIT “It’s a penetrating and at times flawed elegiac triumph, which might induce ecstasy in musical theater buffs.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “Even with these flaws, the film is well worth watching, particularly for the acting.” – Bay Area Reporter Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% EDIT “Yet with all its weaknesses, that magic undeniable undefinable aura between Mescal and O’Connor makes the film almost irresistible. But the key word here is almost.” – Bay Area Reporter Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% EDIT “It seems appropriate that this movie might indeed be the fond heartwarming sendoff it purports to be, content with not overstaying its welcome, to the sad sobbing resignation of its legions of devotees. ” – Bay Area Reporter Sep 15, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 53% EDIT “The movie has noble intentions but flails in its execution and insular characters.” – Bay Area Reporter Apr 28, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 95% EDIT ““A Nice Boy from India” is a very nice, exceptional, enjoyable crowd-pleasing queer love story we’ve been waiting for and wanting. ” – Bay Area Reporter Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Bonus Track (2023) 86% EDIT “We care about George and Max with their feel-good courtship, so even if it's all a garden-variety fantasy, we'll take its sincere heart gladly as a remedy over the stone cold malarky we're currently enduring in real life.” – Bay Area Reporter Feb 10, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% EDIT “Torres, in her restrained manner, trying to be present for the children, simultaneously reveals the silent grief and internal angst she's undergoing. ” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 21, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “It's a small, sad, somber story, though Coppola makes the right choice to make seductive Las Vegas into a character, albeit a cruel one.” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 14, 2025 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% EDIT “For all its faults, he [Almodóvar] still manages to create a movie about death that retains the joy of being alive and watching Swinton/Moore's astonishing performances.” – Bay Area Reporter Jan 7, 2025 Full Review The Critic (2023) 51% B- EDIT “McKellen was born to play this role as he imbues Jimmy with an ice-cold heart and an acid tongue. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Sally! (2024) EDIT “A stirring tribute to a lesbian pioneer who deserves to be remembered and celebrated. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Perfect Endings (2024) EDIT “It has a bright, breezy feel to it, but "Perfect Endings," lacks the emotional depth its original title promised us. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review We Forgot to Break Up (2024) EDIT “The film falters when it focuses on the romantic entanglements and we're never quite sure how they impinge on the band's success. The film is on firmer ground when it explores selling out as Evan entertains the possibility of going solo. ” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Riley (2023) EDIT “Viewers will be rooting for Riley to live authentically and find peace within himself.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review High Tide (2024) 100% EDIT “It's the star-making performance of Pigossi, real-life lover of director/writer Marco Calvani, projecting empathy and vulnerability, that is the highlight of "High Tide," a subtle, under the radar romance, not to be overlooked.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review A House Is Not a Disco (2024) 100% EDIT “Although a bit repetitive, the film celebrates the delight of unabashedly being yourself without one's sexuality ever being a deal breaker.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Linda Perry: Let It Die Here (2024) 100% EDIT “This heartbreaking film allows us to glimpse a genius at age 59 still trying to find herself, as with searing candor she bares her soul in an intense conversation with the audience; stellar and unmissable.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Crossing (2024) 97% EDIT “Akin gives voice to the frustrations of immigrants and homeless teeming and disappearing into the bustling city's streets. Yet the emotional payoff unexpectedly scores big, walloping viewers at the end...” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review All Shall Be Well (2024) 97% EDIT “This film cements Ray Yeung as one of the world's foremost LGBTQ writer/directors.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) 76% EDIT “At the documentary's conclusion, one realizes it's the songs that not only hold the movie together, but Elton's life as well. His career deserves to be celebrated and "Never Too Late" fulfills admirably that laudable goal.” – Bay Area Reporter Dec 9, 2024 Full Review
