#qfest closing party is hot. As in barely air conditioned. And loud. Missing Loew's or 2021 right now.

#qfest Hot Guys With Guns (4/5) A perhaps generous 4 for delivering on its name. Uneven in points but watchable. Expect sequel next year.

#qfest It Had To Be You (1/5) Wanted to like homegrown film but too distracted by production issues, awkward dialog, plot gear-grinding.

#qfest Big Gay Love (1/5) Others laughed, but fell totally flat for me: Weak writing, bad timing, contrived and superfluous plot points.

#qfest Five Dances (4/5) Artfully done; perhaps better as 3 acts; dance isn't my thing, so those parts dragged a little.

#qfest The DL Chronicles Returns (5/5) Maybe less DL than before, but not less funny, sexy, touching. Shamelessly pulls all right strings.

#qfest In Bloom (3/5) Strong in quirky moments; better than average scoring; watchable, but story meanders to an unsatisfying conclusion.

#qfest Animals (2/5) Can't hate it for taking risks, but it fails to pull off all its (ahem) edginess.

#qfest The Last Match (1/5) Achingly slow; grinds to predictable halt with old-school ending; last scene was last straw for its rating.

#qfest Pit Stop (3/5) Despite being strong on all the basics, this deliberate indie failed to pull me in completely like less-perfect Four.

#qfest Lose Your Head (4/5) Flawed thriller inexplicably works; kept me interested and left me smiling. No idea why!

#qfest Four (4/5) More-than-its-parts play adaptation thrives off characters' flaws & snapshots their collisions on a July 4th evening.

#qfest Cal (1/5) Inexplicable hot mess lacks guilty pleasure of its predecessors; perhaps bad economy affected more than just characters.

#qfest Silent Youth (1/5) Bleak, slow, confused, washed out, off-key; no reward, visual or narrative, after enduring their awkwardness.

#qfest I will give Go Doc Project credit for avoiding the usual betrayal drama common to films with this kind of set-up. VERY nearly a 4.

#qfest The Go Doc Project (3/5) True indie; strongest when sticking to premise; falters as things progress; over scored; great 1st effort.

#qfest Free Fall (3/5) German tragic romance is well produced with attractive leads but follows too-predictable trajectory and lands poorly.

#Qfest C.O.G. (4/5) Sedaris-inspired feature has some expected NPR humor, quirky characters, introspection but also much darker moments.
