After her boyfriend croaks, Yolanda the trashy nightclub singer needs a place to lay low for a while. Hey, what’s more innocent [...]

2 Seconds is about Laurie, a woman who is kicked off her downhill mountain bike racing team. She moves to Montreal and develops a contentious friendship with a grumpy ex-cycling champion who now builds bikes. This is a well-received character driven story.

Posted by Lesbian Film
It’s like stepping into 1920s London! Evangeline and Beatrice Eliott struggle to survive on their own after the death of their father. They overcome the many obstacles and surprises lying in wait with creativity, strength and grace — which is all the more impressive considering women of that era were afforded little freedom. They succeed [...]

Posted by Lesbian Film
Forbidden love at a girls’ boarding school. This movie could have been a fun, intense fantasy of seduction, but instead settles for disjointed, boring and depressing. Loving Annabelle has its very strong supporters, so don’t take our word for it. Watch for yourself and then let us know what you think.

This German film explores the psychology of S&M, B&D, Master and servant. A lesbian dominatrix runs a gallery show in Hamburg and ultimately must face her own desires and fears. This is one to watch more for the subject explored than for the quality of filmmaking.

This German film hits the San Francisco lesbian scene. Not necessarily realistically, but hey, it’s a B movie. Watch it for the novelty and naughty bits, and fast forward to keep it from dragging you to that tortuously boring why-am-I-watching-this? wasteland. Susie Bright costars. Filmed in black and white.

Review by: Jennifer Brooks
In Deepa Mehta’s powerful masterpiece, modern values challenge tradition and duty, and passion challenges asceticism. Sensuous and humorous, this exquisite film is set in India and infused with Indian religious teachings, specifically the story of Ram and Sita, where Sita must undergo a trial by fire to prove her purity.
