Lesbian film reviews containing opinion as well as film theory and the history of lesbian film. http://www.kissingfingertips.com en-us Expectation is a real killer! I had high hopes for this, and it couldn't really meet them, but it is still, despite its directoral flaws, a rocking film about a really interesting time, starring some talented women. Just don't ask for too much emotional depth with your rock. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/therunaways.html A 50-minute, low-key exploration of two middle aged women; one discovering her life and sexuality and one discovering love again after years of grief. It's not commercial, but it's beautiful and romantic, and I really liked it. The British do have a marvellous talent for doing slower, more poignant films well. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/sleepingbeautyeastfinchley.html To my fellow geeks, I apologise, but even though I'm sort of in the right demographic I just couldn't get into this film. Michael Cera is just not good here, not matter how hard he tries, and despite being a visually stunning film, most of the evil exes and the girl he's supposed to be fighting for just fell flat. Some nice special effects make this a must-see only for self-identified geeks of a certain age. God I feel old. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/scottpilgrim.html It's not going to change the world, but it was funny and sweet and worked as a romantic comedy better than many films I've seen with ten times the budget. One of those rare Indie gems where the production values cease to matter and all you care about is the characters and hope that it all works out well in the end. Writer/Director Michelle Ehlen is a real talent. Pass the popcorn and have some laughs. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/butchjamie.html The fact that this film has both polarised the gay community and shocked the straight world with its incredibly normal look at lesbian family life, means it is a must-watch not just for lesbians but for everyone. Is this our Brokeback Mountain? Maybe not, but it's worth the ticket price for Annette Bening's masterful performance alone. Leave your pre-conceptions at the door, have an open mind, and then love it or hate it. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/thekidsareallright.html If coming out narratives starring beautiful women make a film good enough to float your boat then you won't go wrong here, but I needed a bit more of pretty much everything to really get excited about this. Pretty to look at with some worthy moments, but not a great film. http://www.kissingfingertips.com/icantthinkstraight.html Notices on new lesbian film reviews and news posted on kissingfingertips.com are now available on Twitter.
