Girls on Film

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.

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!

Girls on Film is a character study of two women who enter into a tumultuous lesbian relationship. Both Dare Taylor as "Rain" and Willow Grey as "Blake" are fantastic in their roles and they deliver some powerful moments throughout. "Rain" is the beautiful girl next door type who dives head first into her first same sex relationship and "Blake" is the striking, brooding, manipulative, rich girl who seduces Rain into her dark world. Rain and Blake are so different but share so many subtle commonalities as they navigate their love for each other amidst this dysfunction. The writing and dialogue is on point. Written and directed by Robin Bain of the Girl Lost movies fame (which I'm a super fan of), Girls on Film is a really interesting follow-up to the Girl Lost movies with an intriguing, nuanced and unique LGBT storyline and some great performances and moments.

I see the reviews, but honestly I don't get it.

First I expected a little build up before Rain moved into Blakes house, but literally first couple minutes Rain gets evicted and moves in. No explanation as to where and how Rain found the house. The description tells you more than the entire movie does.

2nd the acting isn't that best. I read about how great the writing was but it really wasn't.

3rd The kissing between the two females goes with the bad acting. They were like 2 very straight girls that do not want to kiss. Any chemistry you think they had disappeared once they started kissing. Good kissing scenes can save bad acting because you believe they are really into each other. The kissing as so bad it almost made me turn it off. It ruined alot for me.

Both woman are incredibly beautiful and theres potential for them to do great things, but the acting and believability was missing for me.

I thought the Girl Lost series was interesting and it's good to see Robin doing something a little different. Unfortunately the film was sort of a let down. I didn't feel magic in this film. Hopefully if Robin makes another LGBTQ film it would be more engaging. The film score was not very good, and the overall film was shot pretty generically. The actresses weren't great but I like the effort they put in, they did try. But the main problem for me with this film is that it felt sort of boring. For much of the film I didn't care what was happening, the film needed a slower pacing and more sizzle and personality, for a romance film it's missing that romantic feel to it. The emotional moments didn't hit me as hard as she was attempting to do. I do enjoy her films and I hope she does more but I would like to see better screenplays and more personality in her directing style, it's hard to describe Robin as a director.
