Buffronioc One of the wrost movies I have ever seen
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
rattenkonigin So this love story happens over a weekend. I mean there is nothing wrong with a story about love at first sight but this just felt really forced. So the browned haired woman( can't remember her name) moved into her bosses'guest house and immediately starts to have really private conversations with her bosses's daughter, the blond hair goth girl( again cannot recall her name). Not only that, she also showers in front of her. This in itself would be inappropriate but okay..... Then they film each other for hours with Canon hand-held cameras. Which could have been a nice idea and a creative way to save money, if it was done in a better way. But they just keep talking and talking, i think they told the actors to just improvise. This only works, if you have really good actors( will come back to this later). Then they have sex but they way they have sex is the funniest part of the whole movie. They are portraying this " passionate love making" but both of them constantly make sure, that you cannot see their nipples. Followed by more sex and a hilarious scene with the ex boyfriend. Later they go to concert and i wonder if the people that made this movie, have ever been to a concert. The audience sites down listens, nod( because they approve of this great music!!) and only once the music stop, will they applause and continue talking. Rock n'Roll!!!They get a tattoo and the blond goth girl that already has a Tattoo ask, if it hurts. She later sings a terrible song, that goes on for hours .Oh yeah and after that great and necessary song, they have sex. The dad comes back and goes into the guesthouse to surprise the brown hair girl with a breakfast and here is the shocking twist, the dad and the brown hair girl had a one night stand! What? What? This makes no sense! A) You are not suspicious at all that ONS lets you work for his company and that he lets you life in his guesthouse which is on his property B) okay let's imagine that the brown hair girl is really naive, then why don't you try to keep a distance from his daughter? She never tried to keep a distance. She is the one showering in front of her, she is the one telling her that she think is cute. You never notices that she was in a moral dilemma C) let's even ignore this fact and imagine that the brown hair lady forgot about everything that happened. The dad still knows. He is a successful business man so he needs to be good in planning. So he hired his ONS let her live in his guesthouse which is on the property because he thinks that he still has a shoot with her. While a little over the top, still somehow makes sense. What dosen't make sense is, that he goes on a business trip when she arrives. Why didn't't he invite her to the business trip. He is more likely to hit that in a hotel room then in house with his daughter around. I mean yeah might have been strange, but not as strange as having your new employee spend a weekend with your 18 year old daughter. Especially if you want to seduce her!! That story makes no logical sense, the characters motivation even less. Especially as most of it, happens over a weekend. Acting: Boyfriend: I don't know if he was suppose to have such a poor line delivery and over the top acting or if this was just poor acting. If it was on purpose, kudos to the actor. You really succeeded in pretending to be a terrible character. Blond Goth Girl: She was better then the brown hair girl but that is not saying a lot. i think that this is what 50 year old people think a teenager behaves like. Furthermore, i don't want to discourage anyone but maybe you shouldn't' consider a career in singing and/ or acting. Brown Hair Girl: Don't look directly at the the camera!! So many times when she was suppose to be looking at the her partner, she is looking directly at the camera. Like staring at it. Also when she had her dramatic scene at the end( the one you can see her nipples), at least try to cry, if you can't then hide your face in your hands so it looks as if you are crying. Anything besides what she did. Dad: Just terribleCameraI am not a big expert on Camera work. I don't care if people use certain angles, zoom out or in too much but even i notices that the camera work sucked. In the beginning it looks okay but sometimes it looks like someone was filming it on their own home video camera. This excludes the scenes, where the two ladies were filming each other. Especially the shower scene is shot in a really wired angle. It appears that the two woman were in two different rooms. They could have shot the scene in two different locations which is fine if the scene wasn't't suppose to take place in the same room to build erotic tension. So in conclusion, this movie isn't good and i am not going to give it a pass because it is a lGBT movie and because of the low budget.A low budget has no impact on the plot or the acting. The movie had potential but sometimes a good idea isn't enough.PS: You do see nipples 10 minutes before the end.
toobitz Just that - in any way. The story is so that you could actually make something out of it and the film manages to fail miserably in every regard. The acting is beyond bad - not for a second did I feel any authenticity in both actresses' play (or any other character for what it's worth). And the sex scenes are so forced as to show not the tiniest bit of possibly bawdy nudity that it's just grotesque. Granted, not every movie with a girl-girl story can be "Room in Rome", but please, if you actually feel that the actresses' biggest concern during a sex scene is not to show an uncovered breast, just leave it out. And the fact that Rachel and Amy wake up in the morning after spending their first night together wearing bras and panties does not really help there too. Besides, there are movies with very sensual and authentic lesbian love scenes that do not include full nudity (such as "I Can't Think Straight"), so it's very well doable. But again, you would need good actresses for that.The movie has a single decently funny scene - that is when Rachel's ex-boyfriend calls and accuses her of having stolen her phone. That is 60 seconds where the movie actually produced an emotion in me in the form of a smile. The rest is simply awkward.I sat through the whole thing because I made it a principle to always finish watching a movie after I started it. Had it not been for that, I would have turned it off and forgotten about this thing after 10 minutes into the movie.
raynaking0 This movie is HORRIBLE. The acting was so bad. If I could give it negative stars I would. I was pretty excited about the plot at first. I love movies about forbidden love. I was extremely let down. The love scenes were so awkward and totally fake. I know it's all acting but come on at least try to seem interested. I've seen elementary school plays with better acting. I'm so glad I watched it on Netflix. If I spent any sort of money on this movie alone I would have been upset. Don't waste your time! Watching paint dry would be a better use of time than watching this movie. The only character I liked was the boyfriend in the beginning. He was actually really funny. He wasn't supposed to be funny though so he did a terrible job acting as well. I don't know how (or why) but I managed to sit through the entire thing. I guess I was hoping it would get better? It didn't.
despairedsorrow Great movie. Pretty good acting. If you're looking for something to look at with great chemistry and soft core sensual lesbian scenes then go for it. It has a great ending and I hope for a part 2 :)It's something cute for a movie night with your girlfriend and the explore each other deeper than just in the sheets. They try to learn about each other before anything happens which is astounding since some movies don't do that they just skip straight to the sex which gets old fast. However, this movie I was engaged and intrigued throughout! Great storyline. I just wish the acting was a bit better. Hopefully they'll make a part 2 and it'll have better acting, an even better storyline, and a better insight on a lesbian relationships
