Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

wildyuru I am not a lesbian, or even a female, but I found the movie to be poignantly thrilling. I think far too much is made of ... what? Novelty? I recall a passage in the George Orwell's book Nineteen-Eighty-four in which on one tryst Winston observes a peasant woman hanging out laundry and singing an old ditty that women must have sung for millenniums. Some things need to be re-experienced again and again. Love is Mount Fuji, described by thousands of Haiku poets and still begging to be once more described. Critics don't seem to know this. That's why the book and movie Love Story made the critics look like the insulated stuffed shirts they are. Eloise's Lover presents first love in a heart-wrenching, soul- searching, suspense-loaded manner that artists should all emulate. The flashback technique in the movie kept my mind and emotions on edge. I could not sleep for several nights wondering what if ....

Jvigil-555-549741 Lots to like about this movie. The women are beautiful. Love the Catalan language and Barcelona scenery. I liked the main character Asia, and the free spirited Eloise.I thought the ending however was overly dramatic. I also thought Asia's reaction to her first experience with Eloise was 30 years in the past. Appropriate for those of my generation perhaps but young people now are much more sexually open. I would have liked more about her relationship with her father and her overbearing, manipulative mother. The movie was superficially pleasing but ultimately lacking in much body or substance. It needed another layer of complexity with the main characters. I would watch it again, if only for the women and to hear Catalan in a movie.

kezzles *** This review may contain spoilers ***Look I love lesbian films, being one myself, but I am very tired of this plot. This film contains nothing original. It's not a happy 'coming out' film by any stretch of the imagination. With quotes like "It made me feel dirty" and "that's disgusting" when referring to lesbian sexuality - my enthusiasm waned a tad. The other main flaw of this film is the poor editing. Some scenes just don't fit, and are completely out of context. Especially the ending. She's dead right?The film does have some good qualities, mostly the two main leads, but its poor fodder for any type of film goer. If you want sad traumatic lesbian film - go see a classic like "The Killing of Sister George" or "The Fox".

Red-125 Eloïse's Lover, originally entitled Eloïse (2009) was directed by Jesús Garay. It is listed as a film in Spanish, but it's actually in Catalan, the language of the region that includes Barcelona.This movie is, unfortunately, a pretty stereotypic lesbian love story. A young college student is more or less engaged to a fine young man, but she's clearly not in love with him. She meets an intriguing and beautiful lesbian woman, and the rest of the film is fairly predictable. We know from the outset that the young student is in the hospital in a coma, but we don't know whether or not she will recover. That's the biggest suspense of the plot.Still, the movie has its good points. Both Diana Gómez as Àsia (the young student) and Ariadna Cabrol as Eloïse (the out lesbian) are very beautiful. It was interesting to get multiple shots of the university in Barcelona, and it's rare to find a film in Catalan in Upstate New York.In my opinion, this isn't a film that you must see, but it's worth watching if it's readily available. It will work well on DVD, if that's an option. We saw it at Rochester's Little Theatre, as part of the wonderful ImageOut:The Rochester Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
