Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Thanks for the memories!

Fantastic!

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I watch ALL films lesbian. They are few and far between. Typically I only make it half way thru most of them because they're so bad.I stumbled across this one last night, so glad I did. The story unfolds slowly but hang on anyway... it's a smart drama with some hysterical laughs for those who have ever worked on a micro budget film. Highly recommend...

What this film does have going for it is two very pretty female leads and a quite erotic love scene between them, which also both feature prominently on the cover. The film itself breezes through this in the first five minutes. Then there's a brief montage of relationship and the viewer gets dumped in the middle of *something* going on. What follows is a series of overacted confrontations between the girls in which they grimace and cry a lot and give the viewer extremely vague exposition. A little more context would have been nice, like who the characters are and why the viewer should care about them. All this is annoyingly intercut with shots of extras doing stuff, fragments of irrelevant dialogue - and bits of a subplot between two other characters that is completely redundant. The director (who also played the director in the film) seems to have self-importantly shoehorned herself into nearly every scene. These other bits then feel like mere padding, as if during pre-production it turned out that writing the real meat of the script, giving the characters context and some genuine conflict or tension, was really, really hard. I find that a shame because show business with its egocentric personas, its gossip and also prejudice should have provided a dramatic enough setting for an emotional story about a lesbian relationship between actresses. I've seen the film described as slow but I feel that word does not capture my feeling. There is slow and then there is drawn out. Room in Rome was slow but offered much more in terms of both eroticism and character focus. Mind you, making an 80 minute film feel drawn out is an achievement in itself. For a real relationship drama, lesbian or otherwise, you'll need to look elsewhere.

I rarely write a review, with that being said this movie is as real as it gets with true emotion and two actors who just have such great chemistry. Two very gifted actors whom I have not seen before as well as the rest of the cast and director. The movie is done with class and integrity, there are very few intimate love scenes that enhance the film even more. A film like this needs to garner more attention as it pulls you in with such emotion, Its not a movie you can watch just once and if you don't get the theme and find it uninteresting well that would be a shame, as the film puts it " Love is a high " and anyone who has ever fallen in love knows how wonderful and toxic it can be.

I wish I could express like others before, what an amazing film this is. I don't think I've been so happily drawn into the maelstrom of another's love relationship since "Blue is the warmest color".This story of Zoe and Mal is unstructured, raw, and very real. Writer, and Director Marina Rice Bader (who also stars as director of a fictional scene re-shooting) creates an amazing story. Eliciting in my opinion, award worthy performances from Sharon Hinnendael and Jill Evyn.While I can see where some may despair over a perceived lack of plot. I see this film however, as an exquisite exposition of the love between two people.
