COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Slow and Artsy submitted by Maria Maguire on July 24, 2018, 5:27pm A lot of people liked this film. I wanted to like this film. But to me, it was very slow and overly artsy. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen the whole movie. I like more action in my movies, or at least more happenings. I was bored watching this movie.

That said, I have lots of friends who really did enjoy it! And it's a well made lesbian movie, which can be hard to come by. So if you tend to like artsy movies and don't mind slower paced films, you might enjoy it. If not, I'd recommend something else, like Imagine Me & You or Saving Face instead.

Makes for a good book-movie combo. submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 2:21pm Try 'em both.

Great cinematography and acting submitted by Xris on December 26, 2020, 11:02pm All the scenes filtered through windows was interesting to look at. And the actors did a great job in their roles. I was glad of the choice that Carol made at the end, but wish it would have continued just a little bit longer.
