🌺 GL + lesbian: all watched 🌈 ⚢

completed + unfinished (where noted); ordered alphabetically.  most of these i would *not* recommend - i've created a separate list for favorites: ❤ GL + lesbian: my top picks

labels:
GL = lesbian relationship is a significant part of the story.
QC = queer cinema, more realistic portrayals.
censored GL = either chinese GLs skirting censorship laws, or "sismance" adapted from lesbian source material.
lesbian = representation but either no romantic and/or physical relationship between female characters, or an ambiguous relationship, or relationship is clear but the couple does not have much screen time. 

notes:  labels do not indicate a "happy ending".  some characters are not introduced or identified as gay (or bisexual) from the start, so spoilers are possible - proceed at your own risk!  for cw warnings on anything you may find disturbing or offensive (depictions of queerphobias, discrimination, shaming, violence, abuse, or other triggering content), please check tags* on the title's page, user reviews, and/or Does the Dog Die (although not all titles are there). [*click "Vote or add tags" to see all - but this will include spoilers.]

pee.ess. i add personal notes to my lists because i use them for my own reference and it's unlikely that anyone else is reading. if you are here and you are not me, please overlook this clutter if it's of no use to you.  {hs31; 75c53; 1i1/45; 235/100; 864/69}
