Girls on Film

Girls on Film is a beautifully written story of two lost young women, Rain and Blake. They find each other through not so unusual means and connect through a commonality of deep loss in their lives. We watch the women go through a myriad of ups and downs in their relationship. It's intense but relatable. Most of us have had broken relationships with broken people and that's exactly what this is. The acting was absolutely on point from both of the leads. The director really brought this story to life and I felt like a fly on the wall watching the love between Rain and Blake blossom and then... (no spoilers). The backdrop of Palm Springs was also really great and one that we don't get to see much, at least I haven't. It was stunning. Truly, such a good movie.

I wont lie, I thought it was a simple skin flick. I almost turned it off when I seen I was wrong. Glad I didnt. And while there was plenty of skin, there was a much deeper and sadly all to familiar dark undertone that was really the point. Drugs and addiction are in so many places, and this just exhibited the fact that money doesnt buy happiness or freedom from demons. I thought Willow Grey gave a great and very believable performance as Blake. Her character was the best and one I could relate to the most. She has a bright future on screen in my opinion. Not a movie I want to watch repeatedly, but if I came across it again in the future id be willing to see it again.

There is one movie that will draw in viewers wanting to see some skin. The other movie may keep some who see more depth to the two characters. Rain has aspirations of becoming a nurse, and live streams suggestive videos, for which men pay to see, and she makes a modest income, with 20,000 followers. One day she gets kicked out of her apartment when the landlord discovered what she was doing She winds up at a very nice home with Blake, for $2000/month, in Palm Springs. Blake tells her she needs millions of viewers. Rain grew up very poor with hardship, while Blake is swimming in daddy's money. Rain has sort of a baby fat face, which some will find fetching. Blake, on the other hand is very lonely, is a drug addict with depression, and Sterling is hired by her father to keep her out of trouble, so he lives in the house. Neither of the 'two' movies are particularly well done, but are viewable. Is the moral that money does not buy happiness? Blake can be clingy and also cruel and Rain seems a bit naive. As Blake draws Rain into more and more edgy live streams, the 'likes' and the money and viewers start rolling in. But the destructive nature of the addict is always present. However, Rain tries to keep her mind on her goal, and the courses start soon. Blake doesn't care about that.

Calling this movie sexy is actually counterintuitive. It is sexy, but it is so much more and probably one of the best LGBTQ+/lesbian romance stories I've ever seen. We don't often get treated to a love story that builds from the ground up like this. I felt the tension and love between the characters and was captivated by what might happen next between them. From the moment they locked eyes when they first meet next to Blake's fabulous pool until the last moments of the film. It is a very honest look into a queer love story between two women. I'm going to spread the word in the queer community. It's a much watch.

This movie does not know what it wants to be. On one hand this is sort of romantic drama, but sometimes it wants to be a erotic thriller, or perhaps a character study, or perhaps a LGBTQ friendly movie just because. This movie should have picked one, preferably the erotic thriller path and it would have been so much better.

Another thing that bothers are the actresses. Neither one is bad, but neither one is very good either. And when they have zero chemistry it all just falls flat. The awkward kissing and "oh no, I touched a boob" look is about as sexy as watching paint dry.

The dialogue is subpar and the directing meh. I could go on and pick apart more of the movie, but if all you want to see is two beautiful girls pretending to be into each other I guess this is alright.

I fund this very boring, mainly because the movie never finds its path and sticks to it. 3/10 and impossible to recommend. There are far better acted and scripted porn to watch if you want.
