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.

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.

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.

No pun intended - see the main character calls herself Rain, so ... well you understand I think without me having to tell you what I mean. As with another movie I saw recently, I was wondering where this was going - Cam girls, the profession and the person behind (the camera) are an interesting subject - they reveal quite a bit of themselves, but maybe not the really important things.

No puns intended here either - and if you worry one way or another: there is nudity - with a few scenes that could be described erotic. But this is more about human depths - emotional scars and connections ... and the lack thereof. Being connected - yet disconnected.

Being together yet far apart (metaphorically speaking and all that). I think you can tell where this is going early on - still interesting to watch it unfold. The actresses do their best - still not sure the script helps them that much (at least as I see it unfold in the movie, no offense) ... you decide if you have and can spare the time to ... watch!

Rain (aka. Girls on Film) is first and foremost a bit of softcore titillation, much like you'll find on late-night TV. It's not too explicit, has a basic story and allows the two protagonists to undress and have intimate relations. It also throws in a bit of mild drama for the sake of tension.

The pros here are that the girls are attractive, it's nicely filmed and there are a few dark(ish) themes. On the flip side, the acting is very bad, the dialogue isn't great and it's not really explicit enough.

Saying that however, the story and the acting probably aren't the reasons why you're here in any case. If you're a fan of either of the actresses or just want to have a little harmless fun (which is absolutely couples-friendly), then there are worse ways to spend your time.
