a beautiful movie about the lives of two women who stay connected through letters after meeting at an abortion clinic. The politics naturally come through an interesting plot and the two characters driving it â¤ď¸ truly lovely and refreshing!

ever since I watched this two weeks ago I canât stop thinking about it. itâs a stripper who just wants a baby but her boyfriend doesnât want one so she convinces him by sleeping with his best friend. the things we do to get what we want⌠the loves we pass up in the blindness of misdirected desire⌠itâs a silly little movie but it broke my heart too

Not the main focus but a lesbian romance is an important part of the story. Beautiful cinematography and devastating narrative.

CĂŠline Sciammaâs queer feminist period drama about two wammin passing the Bechdel test in the Age of Patriarchy gets a thumbs up from me. I watched this movie on the plane and itâs common knowledge that flying makes you emotional/horny, which might explain why it left such a lasting impression.This film has everything you could possibly want: lesbians, nudity, costumes, art history references, vision â all while maintaining an uncharacteristic degree of restraint and not going too hard on the political statements. The casual absence of men for the most part is a nice touch. Iâd even go so far as to say that itâs up there in my hall of fame, along with Harold Pinter and Joseph Loseyâs The Go-Between, Peter Greenawayâs The Draughtsmanâs Contract and Alain Corneauâs All the Mornings of the World. The only thing that wouldâve made it better in my opinion is if they delivered on all the threats of self-immolation in the end, but endings are something that filmmakers historically seem to struggle with, so next.
