3.5/5
A daring and insightful look at the making and self-destruction of the model Gia. Jolie is amazing playing another sexually provocative yet damaged woman. Interesting look at modelling before all the crazy digital editing took over. Good format with the pseudo-doco biopic style.
3/5
This film is full of quirky characters, that feel real despite being utterly stereotypical. The tension is once again focused on not the fact that the main character is having a lesbian relationship, but the infidelity instead. It is a cute film, with some interesting aspects, easy to watch and surprisingly well written, so that the strong genre elements seem somewhat fresh and the characters raw and vulnerable.
All Over Me (1997)
3/5
A coming of age story focusing on friendship. Story is interesting, but nothing special, good performances from the young cast and an appearance by Leisha Hailey.
Imagine Me and You (2005)
2/5
The "Notting Hill" of Lesbian film romance, it is a cute film, with good
performances, but not much substance or real drama or depth. The film
fits very predictably within the romance format.
2/5
Part coming of age story and part teacher/ student romance drama, it is a predictable romance film, with good performances. While being gay is seen as acceptable in the film (despite being set in a catholic school) it feels as if the pressure or tension of the unacceptability of the relationship is pushed onto the fact that it is a violation of the teacher/ student roles.
Intentions (2003)
2/5
This indie production, has college style performances, mediocre cinematography and rather simplistic plot, that lacks real depth and conflict and is somewhat trivialized and stereotypical about "becoming a woman".
