The Girl King (2015)
5/10
It's ok...
27 February 2023
It's okay. I only watched it because it was in my Hulu watchlist and was expiring. Also I'm a huge dyke.

The acting was fine, the set design was fine, the costuming was fine. This film was just fine.

As a lesbian myself I felt like the whole queerness was lacking in authenticity. Like how a straight guy writes sapphics. Some scenes also felt really panders and for the male gaze.

There were also some scenes that were pretty meaningless and seemed only for padding out the runtime.

If you are like me and are restricted to only watching titles PG-14 or under due to strict parents. I guess this could work. If you are looking for quality queer film for queer folk, then you should probably find something worth your time.
