Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

After getting a knock to the head a bored lesbian house-wife becomes a suburban hooker in an attempt to give her life meaning. She has to work her new hobby around a somewhat standard life.I'm not going to lie, the only reason I put this on is because I fancied some girl-on-girl action. There is some, but this film is much more.The story is pretty straight forward but engaging and lean. The characters are absolutely fantastic and I was soon drawn into the lives of the central character, her loved ones and her clients.Most of the weight rests firmly on the shoulders of Robin Weigert, who makes this look very easy. She manages to portray a certain apathy with her life, that is strong enough for her to take action but never strays into depression.She is also physically well suited, she does look like a stereotypical suburban mother - but she is easy on the eye when it comes to the sex scenes.A great watch, there is some eroticism but mostly fantastic characters and simple but elegant story.

I kept waiting.And waiting.Will Smith never showed up in a scene.I was just so sure the concussion that happened at the beginning of the movie was going to emerge later as some subarachnoid hemorrhage, and Will Smith would step in and explain how concussions can be silent sleepers.There is only one silent sleeper though in this movie, and it's not the person that is always worried about being selfish but on the other hand is only interested in self gratification, likely just mandating some prostitute 'witness' it with her so it actually seems real.I'd give this movie proper care but unfortunately I used up my role of 1250 (get the extra 250, it lasts a few days longer)."Hey honey, instead of dinner and a movie tonight, how about you eat alone, I lie to you eat out and order a prostitute - hold the pepperoni and cheese - I'll just take it with red sauce.Ugh - I can't WAIT until Japan's robot industry makes it around that final corner, because movies like this won't have to exist.After all- if it's just a helping hand you need, I'm sure Japan could just build 'The Arm' and at $14,995.00 it's probably a pretty good arm- extra 6th finger upgrade is only $3995.00 ?I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 - reasons withheld.

So this was coming out this week, and i said why not, i remember hearing good things about this movie when it came out at the Sundance Film Festival in the beginning of the year, so yeah, i gave this movie a chance. Concussion is the directorial day view for director Stacie Passon and it stars Robin Weigert, Maggie Siff, Johnathan Tchaikovsky.And i don't think i have much to say about this one, i mean it has some quality, its a decent directorial debut, but the movie just did not hit me. Concussion follows Abby a lesbian who is going through a mid-life crises, she has no sex with her partner Julie Fain Lawrence, and she goes to see a hooker. And then things get a bit more complicated. So this actually came first than Blue is the Warmest Color another lesbian story, that unfortunately i have not seen yet, but i am very excited too. But the movie is not really about lesbians, or the social problems or anything like that, this movie is about a women that is repressed sexually and is trying to help, another women that are also sexually repressed, she is really discovering herself doing this process. Justin says to Abby that she has to stop doing what she is doing, that what she is doing, he says "this isn't you" and she answers "something has to be me by now". She is really trying to figure things out, inside herself, she knows that she cant keep up with her boring sad life, she wants change.The performances are really good, Robin Weigert does some very impressive work in this movie has Abby, but really, that is just it, the movie just does not have enough to offer. And when i left the room i was feeling nothing. Decent debut for its director Stacie Passon and good performance by Robin Weigert but that is basically it. Rating:C+

Or life altering. I don't think you have to be lesbian to make a film about lesbians, but in this case it clearly did not hurt. But to reduce it only to that (positively/negatively) would not be fair to the movie and the story it tries to tell. The script is clever without trying. Of course some might only be intrigued or appalled as already mentioned by the lesbian theme. Hope you can see through that and concentrate on the movie and its themes.It's about love in general, about loss and life and many other things. Dialog is really good, the cast is amazing. It was one of the positive surprises at the Berlin International Festival. I can only recommend it
