See it for your Sapphic cinema education!

Okay, so I did like this, BUT what were the casting directors thinking, casting as lovers two women who literally looked and acted like mother and daughter?! It took a lot away from the film, which could have been much better.

I'm all for a good age-gap relationship, when the two people involved seem like they are a couple, and not parent-child. That said, a good age-gap relationship can definitely have beautiful motherly qualities to it, and I appreciate that. But still, there was something off about this one. I guess that's why it ended the way it did... So, maybe it was intentionally odd, who knows?

Still, good movie for being one of the first straight-up Sapphic films ever, And the theme song is beautiful, like right out of a Douglas Sirk glossy melodrama!
