Summary: A Wonderful New Film That Should Lead The Way
Review: A Family Affair is a wonderful new film that should lead the way to better lesbian filmaking in the future. It is a well written and well acted film (that is a first in itself). Though obviusly lower budget than Hollywood productions the characters and story make you overlook their obvious budget contraints ( common to most Indies but uncommon that this film is not harmed by cost)
It is a tale about the clash of new love and the old love that wants you back, and the comedy, sex, and events that surround it..This is a movie that should be seen and seen again...I have seen it twice and the second viewing was better than the first

Summary: Decent Addition to Lesbian Genre
Review: I've seen or own just about every "lesbian-themed" movie there is out there, and as most of us lesbians know, they are all pretty much bad..except for a handful. I know this movie had its definite awkward moments, such as the beginning monologue directly spoken to the camera, but after I kept my mind open about it and continued to watch, it grew on me. Lesnick has some very witty lines, and she did a decent job acting, too. Too bad we couldn't see more of Michelle Green, as well. But I was very impressed with Erica Shaffer who played "Christine." I think her honest and sincere charaterization is what made the movie. But one question for the director...why was "Christine" wearing a horrible wig half the time?? So, overall, I'd say check out this movie. Favorite part/line of the movie: "This didn't happen in Mexico." Curious? Then you have to check it out. :)

Summary: Finally A Film To Celebrate in Lesbian Cinema!!!! Wooohooo
Review: FINALLY a film I can tell my friends to go see with lesbian content that is terrific. This is a gay film that should be seen by every lesbian. It is funny and as other reviews I read said, sexy and intelligent! This is not one of those low budget "art" films that put you to sleep or one where you laugh at it because it is so bad ..Though a lower budget film, A Family Affair is so good it doesn't take away from a super story and quality acting. I'll likely watch this film again, and end up buying it, but hope I get it from Santa, but may not be able to wait, ... A Family Affair ranks up there with the best in Lesbian cinema. A reason to cheer..

Summary: A Family Affair Is Not To Be Missed!
Review: A Family Affair was an extremely funny and romantic film. The characters were good and the storyline was one everyone could relate too. The conflict between the ex you hold a special place for in your heart and your new relationship. And in the end you realize what we all discover the conflict is more internal than external. The film is a very sexy comedy that is realistic and has some great moments you will be laughing about weeks after you see the film and clearly one of the best lesbian films in recent years and one that you can recommend to all your friends no matter sexual orientation. (and a great date movie)

Summary: We all give this 5 Stars!
Review: My friends here at UNC had a gay film fest this weekend.Each of us brought a lesbian movie to the house and became instant critics. A Family Affair was our favorite. We saw them all, Claire of the Moon, thumbs down for acting and the long wait to what ended being a dull ending, Desert Hearts: actually we liked it but left us wanting more, Lianna: an old Sayles film good but dated, but hit the emotional chords. And there were others that t were so bad we couldn't believe they were made (can anyone say Go Fish or Sugar Sweet...aaaaahhh were dreadful)
Anyway, A Family Affair, was intelligent, funny, sexy and has a great script. Lesbian filmmakers should see this for an education. This film is destined to be a classic, especially in light of it covering marriage and the dating scene. We would give it more than 5 stars if we could. A Family Affair: filmaking at its best.

Summary: Superior Movie Making
Review: Everyone has been talking about this film. Saw an article in Curve magazine, read an article in LN and even a review in Variety...all said it was great...my friends saw it they all said the same...So I took longer to see it, my only mistake.:) This film is a...well it is simply a perfectly constructed film about romance..The characters are well developed as is the script, for the first time I sat through a lesbian film without sterotypes and without wondering why there are no good lesbian films because this one is better than good, it is truly wonderful. Finally a great lesbian film that anyone could see and enjoy. If you have a sense of humor and appreciate talent A Family Affair is the film for you.

Summary: What do you know? A Really Good Lesbian Movie!
Review: I had dinner over friends, a lesbian couple. They had just bought A Family Affair and wanted to see it. Though I am not a fan of chick flicks or lesbian films, I thought as a gay man I will do my part and be a good guest. Well lo and behold this film was really good. I fell off the sofa laughing hysterically. This is a great two hours to spend watching a truly well crafted movie, and trust me lesbians love it, the couple were raving about it afterwards and I agree. There are CLASSIC scenes that everyone should see the lead actress having dinner with her ex who wants her back and her current girlfriend, a cat fight is brewing but in dialogue which is far better than any slapstick could be. The sex scenes, well like I said I am a gay guy but must say they were well done. Girls and Boys treat yourself to this one. A Family Affair is an affair to remember. Really good, it is a great gay movie that is my review.

Summary: Cool Lesbian Film - A Definite Winner
Review: A Family Affair is a cool movie. Tells the story about a girl who has to make up her mind about love and committment. It is told through a super script and very good acting. This is a film every lesbian should see and every straight person, as we are all not that different when it comes to our emotional travels. This film is one of my favorites of the past year and in my top 5 of gay films of all time. It is simply Wonderful!!!
