(pre-review note: this is literally fucking scripted exclusively by two women and based off a manga written by a woman. you are blatantly choosing to ignore that this film's creative team is largely female and erasing their roles simply because you came in with auteur-theory-poisoned preconceptions that you want affirmed.)
i’m fucking bored of the neopuritan sensibility surrounding queer art that seems to call for a sexless perma-utopia in how the lives of people like us are transmitted to the screen. it’s like, yeah cool i can watch something unchallenging albeit comforting that i’ll forget the next day or i can make myself watch something that feels like the cinematic equivalent of an exposed nerve and gives me images that…

I don't understand the need for a lesbian to have sex with men twice and why the script has to be lesbophobic. The actresses are great. I just deemed the detailedness of some scenes unnecessary because I think you can still create the same impact without having to show everything.

Two separate sex scenes of a lesbian having sex with men for no reason, and then when the lesbian finally gets to sleep with another woman, the first thing she says is "isn't it so sad that i don't have a dick". I would have hoped we were passed lesbian movies being this obviously made by men but this was just terrible in nearly every way possible.
Could either pass for a homophobic PSA about the dangers of lesbians corrupting straight girls, or as a PSA for lesbians about the dangers of crushing on straight girls. But really its just a softcore porno made for men's ideas of what lesbians are.

Hiroki Ryuichi’s “Ride or Die” begins with a premise that sounds like the stuff of hard-boiled neo-noir: Abused by men her entire life, a straight Japanese housewife coerces the long-estranged lesbian friend who’s been in love with her since high school to kill her violent husband. And yet from the start it feels like we’re missing a few key details in the fine print of what’s going on here — there’s something almost right fluttering beneath all this wrong.
Sordid as it might be for Nanae (Sato Honami) to offer her sex to Rei (Mizuhara Kiko) in exchange for a murder, the manipulation is so brazen that it bends all the way back around to its own kind of ineffable…

FREE MY GIRL
this is kind of bad and obviously written and directed by a fucking man BUT i am giving it 4 stars and it's kind of a stretch but omg NO ONE knows how much kiko mizuhara being unashamedly gay means to me. kiko mizuhara driving. kiko mizuhara being a doctor. kiko mizuhara killing a man. kiko mizuhara dripping in blood. kiko mizuhara drinking a shot of tequila. kiko mizuhara holding a woman!!! anyway i'll probably watch it like 4 more times because she looked completely unreal throughout the whole fucking movie and im very gay.
in other news, it also AMAZES me how the fuck does any guy in this film think someone that looks like kiko… -
scratches ass...
it was so hard to finish this so i fast-forwarded it and i hate fast-forwarding when i'm watching movies even though they're bad but i couldn't help myself this time. 142 minutes for this shit? come on now.
it's 2021, cishet men. please stop directing wlw films with the lesbophobia you have inside of you. you are not the park chan-wook you think you are. he would probably step on y'alls ugly faces, by the way.
there were so many wrong things with this and it's not just that making it really tasteless. this also wasn't even a good movie in so many aspects.to be honest, i was not expecting much because netflix original sapphic movies tend…

how dare you show me a straight sex scene with a lesbian main character in it? no matter what the context is, that shit is so fucking weird like are you cunts fucking bent? if you’re a straight male director looking to direct lesbian movies consider this: DONT. you think you really did something with two and a half hours of nonsensical, male gaze-plagued of a movie? retire bitch!
