Kiss Me

Very sweet movie. One of the best lesbian themed movies I've ever watched and I've watched dozens of them. What makes this one stand out is it's very authentic to life, how it really is between 2 women. It shows the intensity of it, it shows the chemistry and sparks. It really just seemed like this was filming a real life situation. The 2 leads are just amazing and perfect in their roles. I can't even tell they're acting: the eyes, the smiling, the poignant pauses and hesitations Hard to explain but maybe you know.This isn't The L Word or a movie based on sex so if that's what you're looking for, you may be disappointed. It doesn't seem forced together by uncaring hands. The camera work and shots are great. The lighting is great.It seems like every movie about lesbians involves one of the leads being a woman who is with a man and then meets a girl who she either experiments with or realizes she's a lesbian with. It doesn't always happen like that! It doesn't always involve cheating! There are single lesbians out there who meet and then couple with another single lesbian! But as I thought about it for this review, I realize that real life happens, and often it does happen like that. No one is really looking to hurt anyone else but sometimes you just meet another person who you have such chemistry with, you just have to move to the next level with them even at the wrong time. So I'm not deducting stars but I do wish there were some more romantic movies where 2 single lesbians meet and get together. It happens, I promise!I think this would be a great movie for someone to watch who maybe wants to understand what being gay really is. It's not all about sex. It's about not being able to take your eyes off someone else, and being drawn to them in a way no one else can draw you. This movie could teach some understanding and compassion.Also, the lead role, the brunette, has an interesting transformation and growth. She goes from this cold, unhappy woman who is doing what everyone expects from her to a smiling, laughing, very happy person when she comes out. She slowly blooms. It's hard to catch, but if you pay close attention to the first love scene, the brunette sheds a tear. A tear for her engagement that is ending? Or a tear for the happiness of realizing who she really is and what she wants?So overall, I love this movie and I'll keep it in mind from now on for date nights. It's not exciting or action packed or wild sex scenes. It's really more of an intimate character study of 2 women falling in love. Kudos!Oh, and I barely realize I'm reading subtitles at all and how often does that happen?

This is one of my favourites. Its beautifully done, the filming, acting, emotion and very well written. Many 'lesbian' films fall into certain categories ... you have the flicks that are just hey look two girls are kissing to sell tickets, you have what's basically pornography with a vague story... typically more independent but mostly sexual, you have those buddy films where theres lots of talking and humor and maybe some drinking and then two people get together or dont. You have the coming out movies where someone is 'not gay' or 'unsure' and it all sort of evolves from there into a story where peoples reactions and a potential lover exist, you have the girl is depressed and self destructing movies..... this one falls into the smallest category... well filmed, good acting, minimal and tasteful realistic sex scenes, the story is good, the story is realistic and it doesn't fall into any above category... this is a story of two people meeting at a not so perfect time and making choices and its a beautiful little love story that you will care about. It doesn't matter in this film that they are both women and I don't see it as a 'lesbian' film, I see it just as a love story and that's a lovely rare thing when it comes to film including lesbians... if the blond girl was a man this would be basically the exact same movie accept it would reach a wider audience so I believe it is perfectly cast. The family is believable and their reactions are appropriate and I like almost all the characters if not all the characters... very watchable and there aren't really any cringe or unmatchable moments, now for spoilers so stop reading if you don't want to know vaguely what happens.There is a woman and her fiance, her father is engaged to a woman and they travel to congratulate him and his fiance and announce their own good news. Her brother is there and the fiance has a lovely daughter. Our main character seems a bit troubled, sad even. As time progresses she is sort of trapped at a cottage with her soon to be step mother and soon to be step sister... they gradually form a friendship and things progress quickly from this point... Bigger spoiler, don't read past here if you don't want to know the entire movie...: neither girl is single, and neither girl is or was straight, the relationship progresses in a way that feels sad but also when they're together good, they are a good match and it is a healthy relationship, but they hurt people because they don't want to hurt people. This film has a happy ending and you leave it feeling like everything will be alright.
