If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This movie is really one of the first of its kind. It;s a must see lebian classic. Sure, it's low budget, but it gives an honest account of the struggles young lesbians face. For the year it was released, it's an A+!
Spoilers herein.I just came back from a trip visiting an artist whose specialty was lesbian art. Not making, but curating and collecting. She really showed me some stuff that blew me -- a straight guy -- away. Film for me is capable of mainlining the same sorts of effect: The ability (with a little commitment) to transport to new worlds, intensely internal, personal. So I rushed to this film.Alas, its a miss. It had some powerful images and lines, but it really would have been better, even worldclass as a photo shoot with enticing captions. The production was so unartful -- despite valiant aspirations -- that I felt embarrassed. The acting was largely night-at-the-Y. The dynamics of the camera just weren't understood. Its so strange that for some communities if you speak to them at all with honest intent, they forget all else. In a way, this film is like `Left Behind,' which fundamentalists love, but most others think is curious but fundamentally blunt and bad art.Guinevere Turner does have an endearing film presence as the focus. I have seen some of her later films and frankly didn't notice her. But here she is everything.
A movie is independent, and about gay women, doesn't make it good. And, it's a shame, because the actress who plays the lead character, Max, actually is very good. But the movie is so poorly constructed, and most of her friends are so one-note, that the novelty gets old pretty soon. I was bored halfway through it; there is a clever twist near the end which raised it to a 5 for me, but don't expect much in between.
I think it´s a very good film. I´ve been reading some other user´s comments, and noted that lesbians didn´t like it at all. I´m a lesbian, too, and agree with this portrait. That´s the way some of us are, and there´s no problem with it. Take a moment to see the film and get your own conclusions.
