Wasteland

Since no one else had written a review, I wanted to take the chance to recommend this to anyone who might enjoy this unusual (to me) video. The personal adventures of two girls who were friends in high school and are re-united five years later are chronicled here in this well-directed attempt to combine serious eroticism with serious storytelling. There is a lot of sex throughout the film, but it sets it in the context of friendship and competition surrounding the two women, and achieves a high degree of good fiction: the lives of certain people in a certain time. The director captures the frenzy of passionate love-making, but also the beautiful stillness when passion has played out. With a varied and interesting soundtrack this plays like a higher budget movie than I expected.

It's been quite a while since I've seen this film so it's not 100% fresh in my mind, however,I felt compelled to write something about it. My 9/10 is taking into account that this is an adult film and I'm rating it as such, so it's not on the same scale as The Godfather or Shawshank Redemption. I have been searching for awhile for another adult film like this one but have so far had no luck. I watched this with my wife when we had a quiet evening together and it has got to be the perfect film for an 'adult night in'. It has the feel of a mainstream film in quality and builds in intensity like a regular film should. We were drawn in to the story and the sex scenes were interspersed into the film so that it kept the momentum moving forward. Eventually the sex scenes became more hardcore and longer in duration until the ending which was a nice segue to move from the couch to the bedroom after the film was over. I enjoyed the fact that this wasn't a cheesy, comical or cliched adult film and actually kept us watching from the start to the very end of the film, just like a mainstream film, yet the sex scenes were actually hardcore like a good porn should be. Recommended for a proper adults only date night film!
