Running on Empty Dreams
Young and athletic Sydney Harris finds out that she has six months to live unless she and her husband can come up with the money for her medical treatment. Sounds simple enough; get the money, save her life. But her underpaid, working class husband can't afford the treatment. And time is ticking away. As Sydney begins to seek out a means to save her life, she begins to question her existence and does some soul searching, only to find herself falling in love with a single mom in the neighborhood that Sydney and her family have just moved into. Sydney is then forced to choose between her religious upbringing, her husband and son, and a love that she hides, all while fighting a losing battle to save her own life.

Let's be realistic.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I have to say that many situation in the movie make me confuse. 1/ Gerry- a butch, she built a theory about loving god is what she was doing, so at the end- the death of Sydney- does it prove her theory? is this a movie for encouraging lesbians? 2/ Jane saved Sydney's life, why doen't she tell Syd? She knows Syd will love her because of saving Syd's life? 3/ there is nothing about to make Syd to die, far away from her son? so many way to keep them together, about money for treatment? it's a stupid thought if she really love Jane, just see what did she left for Jane? nothing but Jane and Jane's love. 4/ Jane get on Syd's shirt and sport bra when the husband is around, it's like a punch to his face, does she get that?
This movie is simply outstanding. It's different yes but it's also beautiful in a way.The main characters have an amazing chemistry, there are a few odd and wondering moments however, if you let your imagination take over, you can actually kind of get the end you want.I had the pleasure to interview Kathleen Benner (Sydney Harris) and the producer Nitara Osbourne. Both of who have given me more details on the movie, a touching background story and the thoughts and ideas behind it.It's not just a lesbian movie, it's a touching, down to earth and real movie. Don't just dismiss it, watch it.
OMG i just didn't understand what the storyline was all about. although the lead actress was very hot. points for that! the relationship of the women didn't seem to click. the role of that "Gerry" was confusing. because why in the first place would she even interrupt in the life of Sydney. they aren't even friends and what was more weird was when Gerry and Sydney were already shouting at each other and all Jane did was laugh at both of them. WTF? can't she even just say something like to stop yelling at each other.. what was that all about? LOL..it was good but not enough for me to recommend this film. weird storyline.
Being an out lesbian of 15 years, I've seen most lesbian films made.I can safely say this film was by far the worst I've seen. It was seemingly written by a homophobe who knew nothing about what it means to be a lesbian. As with most mainstream gay films, it seems the best solution to a bad marrige is death; assuming redemption is needed by all gay people. The plot was truly insulting to women and to lesbians; and very predictable.The music was horrendous.The screenplay was wooden and poorly written.The acting was bad, yet to be fair maybe this was due to the poorly written screenplay.The directing was sophomoric, at best.Save your money. Do not rent,and certainly do not buy this film.If possible, do not even waste your time watching this film.
