Girls Like Girls Review: A Beautiful Love Story I Highly Recommend

Written by -


I absolutely loved Girls Like Girls. It is a beautiful story and the kind of film I am very happy to recommend. I unfortunately missed it on the big screen, so my first experience with it was at home. That still made for a great watch. Sitting down to enjoy a film at home is one of my favorite things to do when I get the chance.

Directed by Hayley Kiyoko, Girls Like Girls follows Coley as she experiences first love and begins to accept herself. Adapted from Kiyoko's song and novel, the film stars Maya da Costa and Myra Molloy. Its romantic coming-of-age story sits firmly in a genre I love.

The story was what I connected with most. I had a really good time watching it, and I found it beautiful. Sometimes my response to a movie is simply that I enjoyed being caught up in its story and want other people to have the chance to experience it too. That is exactly where I am with Girls Like Girls.

I am really happy that films like this continue to be made. I love seeing romance and coming-of-age storytelling given space on screen. There is so much worth exploring in the experience of falling in love and learning to understand yourself. Those subjects continue to interest me as a viewer, and this film reminded me why I enjoy this genre so much.

I am keeping this review free of story spoilers because I would rather people discover the film for themselves. My recommendation comes from how much I loved watching it. If you enjoy romantic coming-of-age films, this is absolutely one I would encourage you to give a chance.

I wish I had caught Girls Like Girls during its theatrical run, but I am very glad I finally saw it. Watching at home was still a lovely experience. It is a beautiful film that I highly, highly recommend.

Verdict: Highly recommended.

Rating: 10/10 — Nothing but the highest possible praise Review note: This article contains no major spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Few movies arrive carrying the amount of anticipation that surrounded Spider-Man: Brand New Day for me. I followed the buildup, celebrated the announcements, watched the promotional campaign unfold, and counted down the days until I could finally experience Tom Holland’s next adventure as Spider-Man. On July 30, 2026, that long-awaited day finally arrived, and I did not settle for seeing it only once. I first watched the film during a regular Dolby Cinema screening at my local theater. Later that same day, I returned for a second viewing in 3D. By the time both screenings were over, my feelings could not have been clearer: I absolutely loved this movie. Spider-Man: Brand New Day receives nothing but the highest possible praise from me. This is an emotional, visually spectacular, and tremendously entertaining Spider-Man adventure that represents a...

MICHAEL Review — A Rare Miss That I Still Recommend

Written by -

The story of Michael Jackson is one almost everyone knows. His rise from a gifted young performer in the Jackson Five to becoming the King of Pop remains one of the most recognizable journeys in entertainment history. Unfortunately, MICHAEL did not tell that familiar story with the quality or refinement I expected. This is not a film I completely disliked. Some moments capture the spectacle, music, and extraordinary ambition associated with Michael Jackson’s career. The material itself remains fascinating, and there is enough here for longtime fans and general moviegoers to find something worthwhile. However, the overall execution left me wanting more. Certain details appeared to be altered, simplified, or reshaped for the film, and some of those creative decisions prevented the story from feeling as complete or authentic as it should have. Every biographical film makes changes when adapting a real person’s life, but those changes still need to form a compelling and carefully construc...
