ThiefHott Too much of everything

GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

riefenstein001 Interesting setup of the story. Good photography, actors are all doing their job, fine. Fine tuning of moments, good observation, though sometimes overtold, resting too much in moments, slowing down, while audience understood already. It is somewhat courageous, I guess, to take on that theme that easily could drift into a different sort of film. Kudos for that. The story of the stock shares/financial heritage problems, plus the dramatic health problem of the lead character is unnecessary in my opinion. The storyteller could have trusted in the "coming of age" of a middle aged woman in a bourgeois environment (stepford wife) , but okay, they went for drama. One thing that is just very distracting, if not disturbing, is the overlaying music which gives it a touch of a , well, Hallmark movie. (maybe it was intended , then nobody wanted anything different, please excuse the remark). A very big compliment to filmmaker for the taste of the scenery and even more to the talent to open up so much for a very touching and realistic love making scene. Thanks for sharing these moments Barbara Niven.

Linda Worden This movie is definitely designed for women, unlike many lesbian or bisexual films which target the male gaze. This film is delightfully erotic and yet filled with meaningful passion. It is a great watch for actual lesbians/bisexuals/queer-identifying women and has an empowering message about taking control over one's life. I was brought to tears by this complex story of pain and healing through love. If you are fond of cheesy romance and family intrigue, this is the right movie. Jessica Clark's character, Paris, is both a captivating and eloquent goddess. Be warned: You may fall for her. The protagonist is earnest and relatable, perhaps a bit cliché. Nevertheless, if you're a softie and in the mood for something a little unrealistic as far as lesbian/bi/queer romances go, I would recommend this movie.

daleth-74309 I sympathize with the main character, her husband is a terrible man and lover. However this movie has typical feminist moments and serious man hating. I have noticed in some if not most feminist films, the horrible husband is always the same. A privileged woman, who does not work and understand the stress of being a constant provider. Of course he is also a typical child predator as he assaults his daughter. Its like they portray every man as a sexually mature 5 year old that just does not get female sexuality. The sons are emasculated and the one good man , Paris's ex husband is very effeminate. Why can't lesbians just make a movie about there love and erotica, with out saying men are all inferior lovers and there the true gatekeepers of love and intimacy. Besides that though there are many good points to the movie I wish they would have emphasized on. I do like the tension as the main character finally tells her best friends her deepest secret. I do like the build up of the conflict she has, where she wants to have sex with Paris intensly but is torn up in contradiction. Though the drama is overdone and a bit sappy to the point of frustration and comedy. It took her 3- 4 times to finally have sex with Paris and when they did it was great, really erotic and hot and displaying all that repressed emotion. I think I would give this movie a 6, but take away 4 for all the man hating stereotypes. Otherwise I would have given this movie a 9 or 10. Come on lets do better and stop making so many man hating movies.

azcoppen Just like the protagonist, watching this film for me was an act of experimentation in a genre i'm not particularly familiar with (LGBT). The reviews describe it as a stunning masterpiece of cinema, but i felt compelled to comment simply to redress the balance.TL;DR: this is a sales pitch for the lesbian lifestyle - targeted at the US middle class - attempting to masquerade as a "deep" film.The pretentiousness and disingenuousness are what stand out the most, but simply the most frustrating point of the whole two hours is that it's misses an incredible opportunity to examine the powerful and interesting issues it so nearly touches on: female sexual dysfunction, the moral ambiguity of prostitution, the awkward navigation of sexual fantasy, the family dynamics of terminal diagnosis, and more. It scrapes the 0.1% sludge off a barrel ten miles deep.This is what it *could* have been, if it weren't such a blatant and craven agenda-driven Trojan horse. It doesn't touch on any of these.The message: being a lesbian is awesome, and you should try it if you're a middle class white housewife. It's the solution of all of a woman's problems, and the only route to true and safe sexual experience, which will ultimately heal you from your emotional repression (see the name of the film). Fulfilling your sexual fantasies is a way to cope with your cancer diagnosis, whilst being surrounded by all the terribly abusive masculine influences in your life you never cared about anyway.How do you know it's a sales pitch? Sales only emphasises one side of an equation: the "beneficial" one the salesperson wants you to buy. Journalistic or cinematic integrity demands both sides are examined. There is no downside to the character's choices.Aside from the horrendous cliché around every corner (straight girl's OMG lesbian besties!, sexually abusive stepfather, noble 2nd career escort, cynical brothel madam, lesbian liberation, ungrateful kids etc), the forced acting, the wooden dialogue, the unlikable characters that are impossible to attach to, the endless piano soundtrack covering up bad background noise over slow-mo porn, the faux/feigned/forced sentiment, the sanctimonious message, the erotica laced with feigned "philosophical" therapy talk, and the almost sociopathic disassociation from a central issue as devastating as terminal cancer, the most redeeming thing about this walking advertisement for gay normalcy is it's done with a degree of tasteful sensitivity and got a well-used switcharoo trope that approaches surprise.If you think this is somehow "deep", you clearly must be the type of insincere person this kind of film appeals to, who thinks it means "slow motion shots with piano". It's pure self- indulgent claptrap with a self-involved character from a self-indulgent director trying to sell pink ideology whilst willfully ignoring the challenging issues it could really have bitten into.If you're going to try to extrapolate a "milf" porn scenario into a serious film, at least add some blowback to decisions and/or make your characters remotely human. You want your audience to actually care if your protagonist dies.Go rent "Milk", "Circumstance", or "Boys Don't Cry" instead.
