Below Her Mouth isn't the best movie ever written, it's not original or well-thought out, but it has a lot of good points.

Firstly, though neither of the main actresses Natalie Krill (Jasmine) and Erika Linder (Dallas) are amazingly talented, their chemistry is fantastic. Although the relationship between the characters develops at an incredibly fast pace, the electric chemistry between Natalie and Erika sells it and makes it believable. The sex scenes were a lot more explicit than I expected (I didn't watch the trailer or know anything about the movie before watching, so went in blind and was a little surprised) but incredibly erotic and sensual. For those reviewers saying the sex scenes were awkward or boring, they must have been watching something different to me. I could feel the attraction and connection between the two characters through the sex scenes. It definitely wasn't porn in the traditional sense because none of it felt mechanical, it was as though I was genuinely watching two people having raw, intimate and vulnerable sex.

The movie is guilty of playing into some over-used stereotypes by writing Dallas as the butch, mean and dominant lesbian and Jasmine the meek, confused femme lesbian that cheats on her fiance. Generally, there also wasn't much development for the characters or as much insight into them as people as there could've been. However, I do think the romance between the two women made sense. You could feel the loneliness of Dallas and Jasmine at the beginning and that there was something missing in their lives. They had a magnetic pull and in each other found that spark that had been missing. Dallas found someone she wanted to open up to and be vulnerable with and Dallas allowed Jasmine to finally feel all the emotions she'd been suppressing since she was a child and release all that pent up tension and unhappiness that came from denying her sexuality for so long.

Admittedly, there wasn't much plot and the sex and romance is really all there is, but if people dig a little deeper with this move there are actually some very important messages contained within it. It shows how difficult it can be to be who we truly are and be honest with ourselves about what/who we want, and that sometimes it's not always easy to label ourselves one way or another. Dallas said she knew she was attracted to women from a young age, it was a simple choice for her, but Jasmine didn't have that same clarity. In that respect, it shows some of the struggles people can come up against in discovering who they are or the inner turmoil people can go through when they're confused about their sexuality.

Overall, Below Her Mouth isn't a great movie, but it's not terrible either. It would have benefited from more character development and plot and perhaps a little less sex, but was still a reasonably engaging movie.

First off, this is a sexy, sensual-based bi-sexual drama. If you don't like solid Indie films, don't get carried away over thinking this. It's like hating John Wick and writing a review.

Early PS: this is so much sexier than any 50 Shades version... watch it twice with wine!

I won't spoil this, but was surprised and pleased with plot and subsequent sexual intensity that took place.

1) the actors seemed natural 2) the sex and intimacy were even better 3) much bigger Hollywood films have tried this hard and not achieved the results.

Congrats to the hard work and trusf by the actors to create this level of sexuality and viewer attraction without being difficult.

Although it's Canadian and lower budget, I need to be real. But still very well.done for eroctic.

Erotic, sexy and and a lot of nudity. Almost all female cast and crew did a good job, but, the film not something to remember. I have seen people comparing with Blue is the Warmest Color, but, they somehow forgot Bound (1996). But, couldn't reach up to the standards of these films.

I enjoyed this movie despite the rather bland performance of Erika Linder. Taking into account this was her first film, I can give her break in that regard especially since she performed so well in the lovemaking scenes(Not much talking there,I suppose). But the true show -stealer was Natalie Krill. She was very convincing in her portrayal of a woman fighting her feelings and desires for another woman while engaged to a man but losing the battle bit by bit. A very beautiful and versatile actress is Natalie and one that I will look forward to seeing more of. The movie itself could've been better I believe had there been more effort given in portraying Dallas as a protagonist. Part of me wanted to see her fall in love and find happiness while another part didn't think she truly deserved it because of her insensitivity.Very much like Shane McCutcheon as the previous reviewer stated.

This piece of LGBT cinema was flawed from the outset for a number of reasons and that is a damn shame.

Telling the story of an engaged girl who finds herself in a sexual relationship with a girl and the effect it has on her life.

Here is the main issue, a movie is doomed to failure if you don't like the protagonist(s). And how am I supposed to like or care about this girl when the entire movie is about her cheating on her partner? She may very well be having a sexual "Awakening" but that doesn't take anything away from her actions. The movie doesn't even present the fiancé as a bad guy either which they often do to soften the blow.

Highly explicit very graphic (And certain sexual acts are clearly real) this highly charged tale of seduction, sexuality and betrayal is a simple one but quite powerful regardless.

I being the loyal pup I am simply cannot get over that one major plot flaw though and that's why to me this piece of cinema fails and fails hard despite being a well made film.

The Good:

Very well shot

The Bad:

Just can't get behind an unfaithful protagonist

As a lesbian in her mid-forties I have seen many lesbian films of the past several decades, and after seeing the trailer I was not about to miss this one. I almost wish I had passed, but this movie is so laughably awful, it has to be seen to be believed. The 'acting' is so terrible that I literally was laughing out loud at some parts. Several friends and I watched this together, and we all agreed that this movie ranks as one of the all time worst.

I have read a lot of the reviews, and although I agree, somewhat, I still liked this movie very much. In my opinion, the acting was raw, but it fit the storyline perfectly. Erika was making her first movie, so she wasn't Meryl Streep, but that was what I liked so much. It felt like you were watching the real deal. Sometimes nervous, sometimes imperfect, a little awkward, not always saying the right things in the "perfect tone". But, the chemistry and the emotion all seemed so believable and real. Both actresses conveyed their emotions wonderfully. I was completely mesmerized by how well they were together. Yes, the sex scenes were explicit, but they were not just thrown in there to sell the movie. The scenes were realistic, emotional, and necessary to show the incredible connection they were building. No spoilers...the only complaint I have is the same as others...the ending could have been explored a little more. I would watch a sequel to find out more!

I would highly recommend this movie. The bonus is you get to watch Erika Linder, who is absolutely beautiful.

it's a classic story, i like romance. Very hot sex scenes, but behind that it remains the eternal question, who am i ? do i live the way i wan't, or i'am just following my parent's hopes. Not a masterpiece, but i really love this movie. the actresses are beautiful and play honestly.

I originally gave this movie 3 stars but after further consideration downgraded to a 1. This film is so bad it deserves a review. The film centers around a total douche bag lesbian (Dallas) who, without any charm, character, or color, manages to seduce a snobby shallow strait girl (Jasmin) who is engaged to a man (Who we never really get a chance to know because he has only a handful of lines in the film).

The acting is terrible, the direction sucks, the script is horribly written, the editing was done by a monkey, and the settings are poorly made.

None of the characters are developed in any way so you don't really understand why the two leads fall for each other. The film has almost no men in it as well and when there are men, they are portrayed as assholes of course (the director 'April Mullen' is clearly upset about something).

Don't waste your time on this film

This is pretty much the prequel to Shane McCutcheon before she moves to LA. The dialog wasn't there and there wasn't a lot of character development. Honestly the main character, I'll just call her Shane, was boring as hell and is kind of an asshole. The sex scenes were good, but awkward at some points. But overall it was a pretty boring film

This is probably one of the most unrealistic romantic films I have ever seen and hat says a lot.

We are supposed to believe that a person who has been seeing their partner for years falls madly in love with someone over a weekend.

I know romantic films do not have to have realism in it but they have to at least have some sort of feeling to suspend disbelief and this movie does not.

This is a raunchier version of Room in Rome but without the great performances, dialogue and photography that define that movie.

There was no relationship development at all. This was just like a porno and it was so boring. There was more sex in it then words.

What is not to love? Ok if you think about certain things portrayed here they are quite simplistic. But it is a movie. And yes those involved are pretty - that being said, even that is in the eye of the beholder. But overall I do believe that most would call the women in this pretty. And if you are not frigid or easily offended you won't mind them getting it on. The movie has quite the steamy scenes too - they are not too explicit, but on the other hand certain things can not be faked (again do not expect anything too vivid).

That all being said, the story is quite simple - a love story or almost triangle. Something that has been told before, but in this case with the added taboo of there being a lesbian love story thrown in there for good measure. There have been other tellings of a story like this - but this is a decent effort too - if you can dig it ... or whatever else you'd think of doing. Not responsible for your thoughts on this I am. Also not Yoda me being.

Don't have any doubts, this is an amateur(ish) soft porn film that is vainly trying to sell itself as something meaningful. Unfortunately, it doesn't even succeed well as soft core porn as it amounts to one tired cliché after another and is not even sexy. The clichés are in every scene setup, every character and every line of dialogue. You know the ultimate role and fate of every character within seconds of their introduction. There is not even the smallest surprise or suspense in anything. And certainly you have seen everything here before and done much better.

The production team took the straightest and easiest road at each turn. If it was sold as a demo film designed to show that the production team could actually carry the thing through to the end, then maybe they succeeded but they are selling this as some kind of significant film. In that, they simply insult the audience and engage in fraud.

And don't look for a rescue in the WOODEN acting, the camera work, the lighting or the directing. You will search in vain. You might find entertainment value is seeing just how predictable it is or how many clichés they march out.

It's so bad I had to make a review. I won't dwell on details, but yeah. Chances are the only people who will like this are horny men and teen lesbians, both people who don't have a clue how lesbian sex actually works. I could talk about the horrible acting, dialogues, stereotypes and whatnot, but since the movie is 70% lame sex, I'll spare myself.

It's safe to say I've seen my share of bad lesbian films. This is something else. It's emotionally immature and poorly acted. With a lack of sense of direction at all. Was this just made for straight men? I felt that acting was stiff, the story was so contrived on so many levels. Poorly acted. Incredibly immature. I've never in ten years given a film less than five on IMDb. It's just so bad. How can anyone like a film like this anyway? I've got to say that Dallas's character is everything I dislike about the lesbian scene. She's all about ego, self-satisfaction, emotionally bankrupted, with no hint of emotional intelligence. The only reason decided to watch the entire film was the hope of seeing Dallas's character evolve. It really didn't happen. I so wished it had. Even a little. It would have been the one redeeming thing about the whole storyline. It wasn't sexy, it was cheap and sleazy. It was just sex. Again. Who was this made for? Single teenage boys maybe? It was nothing short of over glorified of porn. It certainly wasn't anything intelligent or compelling. It was so cliché.

What makes this film special is the choreography that is shown in an exceptionally stimulating way. It shows great craftsmanship to film a fantastic sensuality with limited resources. The story is not very special and the dialogues might have had a little more poetic power. But what excels the film in portraying the attraction that both players have towards each other. It has been a long time since I saw a movie that could be so exciting. This is far from being porn. This is top-level sensuality and this movie can compete with 9.5 Weeks and Fatal Attraction.
