PerWP:BLOGS – "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications."
Not every film released in the past and today is reviewed by a mainstream media source (such asThe New York Times) or website (such asDeadline Hollywood). Sometimes the only reviews are found in niche publications and blogs by film experts.
In 2010,Film Comment published a list of film blogs:"The Top Film Criticism Sites: An Annotated Blog Roll".
Listed (and linked) in alphabetical order, these are the film blogs in theFilm Comment article (some URLs changed since the article was published, while some blogs are no longer active):

But soon the plot machinery begins to creak. His wife Miranda (Sally Field) can no longer endure his little eccentricities, like hiring a private zoo for their son's birthday party. She files for divorce. The judge gives Daniel visitation rights only on Saturdays.And so he turns in desperation to his gay brother, Frank (Harvey Fierstein), a makeup expert, who helps disguise him as the redoubtable Mrs. Doubtfire, a younger but not slimmer Miss Marple.
which character is gayin a film. The lists for feature films with lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender characters must include published sources and the sources must explicitly verify the L or G or B or T (i.e. if a character is a gay man, the source must say "gay" or "homosexual" for the character; the term "queer" is not good enough because "queer" is non-specific and can be interpreted to mean bisexual, non-binary, pansexual, etc.).
