4. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
3. A Nos Amours
2. Paris, Je Taime
1. La Vie Revee des Anges
And the LGBT movies of 2008 (focus on the L). Stars are out of 5
High Art
Syd, living with her boyfriend working at a respected art-photography magazine discovers that her neighbor is Lucy. Lucy, a renowned but retired photographer, is living with her heroin-addicted girlfriend, Gretta. Syd's magazine pressure her to convince Lucy to do some work for the magazine. Thus begins their relationship (***.5)
Loving Anabelle
This was pretty awful. Anabelle, a transfer student to a private catholic school who has been kicked out of her previous schools begins to have a crush on one of her teachers. her teacher falls back for her. Sounds more like a softcore lesbian porno than a respectable film (*)
Chutney Popcorn
Reena, a young Indian American is in a long-term relationship with Lisa. Reena's family is mostly supportive and mostly don't mind that she's gay (sort of impractical). Her sister Sarita is happily married, however she finds out that she is basically infertile. Reena offers to become her surrogate mother. Really cute. (****)
The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love
An adorable movie about coming out and dealing with families and peers. Favorite lesbian movie (*****)
Round Trip
A separated Isreali woman moves herself and her two kids to the city. The mother hires a live in nanny. It started out as a intimate friendship and moved into romantic (****)
Amiee & Jaguar
In WWII Germany based on a true story, Felice, a Jewish savvy young woman goes undetected by the Nazis for a long stretch of time. She falls for, Lilly, a wife of a Nazi officer and Lilly hesitantly falls back for Felice. (****.5)
