Raven's Touch (2015)
Another disappointing Lesbian movie
There are so few movies around with lesbian content that I try and watch any that come out. This one was again a truly disappointing experience. First up I should admit I am a movie fanatic. I'll watch anything, except SciFi and Horror. The story line of Raven's Touch is going nowhere, the acting is good, I must must admit. For the rest I got truly annoyed with the way the 'mad' Raven was portrayed. Raven moved to a remote cabin after a tragic accident that she blames herself for. So she runs around in the woods like a lunatic in underpants and singlet...? In time she meets a mother who has taken her kids camping, and the two form a special bond when their worlds collide. Just too silly a movie to spend more time writing about it.
La vie d'Adèle (2013)
Porn movie feel
'La vie d'Adele' could have been such a beautiful film, but to me it has a sick porn movie feel to it. * The constant close-up of Adele's face/mouth/childlike open lips – awake or asleep. * The drawn out unrealistic lesbian sex scenes - why not consult real lesbians and get it right? (And yes , I know what I am talking about). * Girls over the age of 13 do have hair 'down there' (only in porn movies they seem not to) * The sexualisation of the shower scene. * and I could go on.
If this exact same movie would have been directed by a woman, what a beautiful 'coming of age' movie this would have been. The two female lead actors are so brilliant in their portrayal of their characters. Adèle Exarchopoulos is indeed spectacular in showing every emotion effortlessly.
I am pretty sure most over the top positive reviews on here (or anywhere else for that matter) are from men. Any women rave about this movie? Any real life lesbians enjoyed this movie?
