Summary: so much potential, such bad acting
Comment: what a disappointment. this film has a lot of potential - lesbian filmmakers, lesbian actors, good concept, passable script, artful black and white - but just can't deliver in the acting and editing departments. while it's wonderful to see women like us positively depicted onscreen - and there should be more of this - it would be great if they could act, too. the script's witty dialogue, while sometimes a little too preachy and unrealistic, is decimated by the actors' lack of skill. the actors' obvious awareness of the camera is also a big problem, as are the confusing, artsy segues between scenes. the editing also leaves a lot to be desired - many transitions are awkward, making the story feel disjointed. if you wish to support lesbian filmmakers - and you should - purchase or rent this film. but don't expect award-winning or even good performances.
