'Carol' Movie Review: A Gorgeous LGBTQ+ Romance
The 1950s lesbian romance is stunning, emotional, restrained, and, simply put, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting a woman-loving-woman (WLW) relationship.

I got a girlfriend for the first time because I was bullied in class because I was a shy person. Mr. Yoshioka, who I have liked for a long time. I was going to graduate without telling him how I felt, but surprisingly, she confessed to me! I was worried that I might get bullied because of dating me, but Mr. Yoshioka said, "I look like this, but I'm strong enough to participate in the Kanto tournament in the kendo club, so it's okay! Rather, I'll protect you from now on." It's been rock bottom until now, but I have a feeling that a happy youth is about to begin!

Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.
Anna May Wong was a talented actress and a fashion icon and still had to fight for everything she had due to hatred and racism.
Dead Poets Society relies on patriarchal tropes such as overbearing fathers, contrived brotherhood, and faux-individuality in order to portray its straight white male characters as oppressed.
The three themes of lessons learned from HBO Max's Station Eleven are the same as the pandemic: love, regret, and art.
In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
