Rating: Summary: Honest, funny, so, so ,fine! Review: There are seemingly few lesbian texts or films which are able to break down the barriers of mainstreem ideals but here is a book and a film which does exactly that. From start to end, this book is engaging. It's characters are real and recognisable. The dialogue is natural and honest and the storyline is magnificent. Anyone who is currently breathing is sure to relate to this funny and at times un-nervingly familiar world of love, life and relationships. Don't pass this one on the shelf - grab it with both hands and let its words course through your veins and electrify your soul - ten stars - five for courage and insight!!!
Rating: Summary: horrid...horrid...horrid... Review: There was nothing about this film I liked. The acting left much to be desired with all involved sounding as though they were reading from cue cards in the most monotone voice they could muster. The cover and summary of this film are very deceiving and unless you want to suffer through the politics of the butch lesbian sub culture, I would not recommed it.
Rating: Summary: has its place Review: This film is alright as part of queer cinema history, but in and of itself is plagued by innumerable flaws. It is slow moving and boring. The constant skipping about makes it hard to follow. In general, it's just uninteresting and flat. There are many far better queer films out there, leave this one alone.
Rating: Summary: YUCK!!! Review: This film is just plain UGLY, in more ways than one! I rented this movie and I couldn't finish it~I made it about 1/2 through. This movie sounded good when I read the description; two women, one attractive and outgoing, the other shy, find romance. Well the movie began and it was in a very unappealing black-and-white. So off the bat I was turned off. I have watched and liked other B&W stuff before~but for some reason I just couldn't stomach it this time~probably because it just looked so ugly in this movie. Well then I started to look for the main character, you know the attractive and outgoing one (and aren't the pretty ones always outgoing???)? Then I realize it's MAX! Yikes! I don't know about the outgoing part, but this woman looks like she hadn't hit puberty yet! She's wearing baggy pants, a baggy top, and a baseball cap~she looked like a young, immature boy! Attractive?! Not! But get this, Max was absolutely STUNNING to me once I laid eyes upon her would-be suitor I-forget-her-name!!! And that was in the beginning BEFORE she chopped off most of her hair into a mohawk cut! After that, this movie became TOTALLY unwatchable! That chick was one of the ugliest people I have ever seen. To just have her in a movie is one thing-but to pair her up? I had to hit "EJECT" on this one!
Rating: Summary: Oldie but a Goldie Review: This film is quite old now. Yet its my favourite lesbian film to be ever produced. Rose Troche and Guinereve Turner are now writters for The L word. Im one big fan of their work and you can really see that they have had a good run of quality work. I love every aspect of this film. Ive watched it so many times and I never seem to get bored of it. Its just a beautiful love story. I totally recommend this film if you can enjoy a good romance about falling inlove with someone you never thought you would. As hey, its all happened to us at one point in time, right?
Rating: Summary: Home Movie Time! Review: This is a two hour home movie made by a lesbian and some of her friends. It's amateurish in every sense of the word. To describe the acting as cardboard would be to insult the charisma of shipping boxes. However, it's watchable despite its non-existent budget, condenscending script, and extremely untalented cast.The plot: Pretty Gwen Turner finds happiness with a woman who looks just like the "Stork" from "Animal House." Word of warning to guys cruising the video store for lesbian soft porn: Do not be fooled by the cover of this video. It's not lesbian soft-porn, but a black-and-white, pseudo-art film. Also with the exception of Ms. Turner- the rest of the cast, all female, are extremely unattractive. Although, the "Stork's" high-and-tight haircut does improve her looks- a little.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Review: This is my all time favorite lesbian movie because it seems so true to life. It is a sweet story of a woman looking for love. Some people may be put off because it is filmed in black and white, and it is not the quality of a Hollywood movie, but for me, this is part of what makes it so charming. I have watched this movie over and over.
Rating: Summary: i (heart) this movie! Review: this is the movie my girl and i rent over and over and over and love every time. most of the other criticisms apply, but the film has a charming soul, the music's jazzy and fun, the characters are real. i loved that the women in this film looked like the women i see in real life. now if only i knew who sings the song at the end of the movie with the happy couple walking on the rocks...
Rating: Summary: ugh Review: This is the worst movie I have ever seen, hands down. I've been forced to see it three times, and it only gets worse with each viewing. It's just awful. Awful! The screenplay is terrible. The acting is worse. Thinking about it is getting me all worked up, but if my reliving the horror of watching this film can save one person from wasting their time and money, it will have been worth it.
