would you believe me if i told you that one of the most genuine love stories of the year is between the two women in the polyamorous bdsm relationship that inspired wonder woman?
Review by Lulu ★★★★½ 1

if someone tells you bisexuality isn't real, tell them to watch this movie. not only does it have explicitly bisexual characters, but the three protagonists are so hot anyone who watches it will have a hard time remaining 100% straight. then, after they watch this underrated little gem, you can tell them to fuck off.

WHOM else gay
Review by Jonathan Rosenbaum ★★★★ 3

A movie to get off on—erotically, intellectually, humanistically, sociologically. The first movie I’ve seen that made me want to read a comic book.

this is the queer story i think i've needed for my entire life
Review by eekdoo ★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

What a beautiful, fascinating love story. An intriguing nugget of history with warmth, wit and genuine pathos. There were one or two of what Uncle Mark would call 'chubby hmm' moments (was he actually given a glass plane?) and I was marginally distracted by the uncanny valley resemblances (Olive is the spit of Heather Graham, Bill was a cross between Joseph G-L and Dominic West and Elizabeth looks more like Joey than anyone I've ever seen). But I am so glad I finally watched it - a much better movie than On The Basis of Sex.

“I thought I knew everything. I thought love wasn't enough. But it... It has to.”
a delicate study of feminism, sexuality, love, and human connection that transcends its period setting far and beyond. Angela Robinson has immediately risen to the top of my list of directors to watch out for with this tasteful piece. it’s so honest, not in a blunt way but playfully. she has biopic meet romanticized fiction, all the while finding ways to elevate it to an intensely personal story.
Marston’s musings never overwhelm it with pseudo intellectualism. instead they provide an intersectional plane where science and philosophy can be juxtaposed procedurally and it kind of morphs into this loving inspection of the human condition as a…
Review by Thomas Willett ★★★★

I get how this film feels like it should be worse. Seeing as it came on the heels of Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman blasting down barriers at the box office, one would think that this was a cheap cash-in, either in terms of being a rushed and uninspired biopic or being a Frozen/Frozen Land situation where we steal money from ignorant grandmothers. So much of this film feels predicated on the idea that it's not going to be anything of promise. That is why it took me until hearing during 2019's end of year lists that this was one of the great unsung LGBT films serving as one of the best depictions of bisexuality in modern cinema. Considering that this…
Review by Lee Fisher ★★★½

Came for Rebecca Hall (who is stunning); stayed for a well made, singular movie that lays out the (disputed) origins of Wonder Woman in a polyamorous 30s relationship. Manages to be progressive but still have a light, funny touch.
Also, Rebecca Hall is in it, did I mention that?
Review by Jessica Beardsley ★★★

An interesting and engaging story about the unconventional life of the man who created the iconic super hero, Wonder Woman. Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote play polyamorous trio, William Moulton Marston, Elizabeth Moulton, and Olive Byrne as they live their lifestyle in an ignorant and bigoted world. It is a pretty conventional biopic but quite enjoyable to see this kind of story portrayed on screen.
