Looking for Her

No pun intended - actually there once was a word starting with a g, that would mean happy ... but nowadays is being used as a slur by many today ... which is why I am not using it (obviously) ... just in case you were wondering. But if you are offended easily, maybe two women loving each other is not a movie to watch for you either (no matter the time of year it plays in ... even worse when it is Christmas time?).

The acting is nice and decent for a drama of this nature. The story is well told and as I said before, if you are open minded you will most likely be quite content with how this is unfolding ... funny and light overall ...

A feel good holiday flick. Yes,the beginning does feel somewhat stretched but an enjoyable movie nonetheless. The chemistry between the leads are amazing. Cinematography is good and doesn't give off that low budget vibe that many independent movies have. This could easily have been an Hallmark holiday movie.

Alexandra Swarens the writer, producer, editor, director and lead actor of this movie is a real gem. Her work is excellent, hopefully she continues to create content for a long time to come (and hopefully that content includes herself and Olivia ;-).

PS. If you enjoy the movie, do consider donating to her future projects, details on Violet Wave Production's YouTube channel.

Yes, I like City of Trees so yes I loved this and these 2. I can do another 10 years of cute queer xmas trope films. Have a lot of catching up to do. This doesnt need to be more than it is. A cute feel good lesbian xmas movie. The fact that it is a queer film already lifts the dialogue for me over similar non queer stories and plus the chemistry of these 2 is so sweet! This feels a little heavier than Under the Christmas Tree and Christmas at the Ranch as it should but I can watch all 3 often. So happy this was made and always happy to be surprised with more queer holiday content. Keep it going!

So refreshing and cute!

Great vibe, great actors and believable dialogues.

Funny moments but not cartoonish.

Queer but not preachy or educational about it.

Yes, you can tell it's an indie/low-budget production. Would be great to see this team being commissioned to make something for a big studio. I love Christmas movies cheesiness, but if we could get something in between the usual over-the-top Christmas decorations, fake snow and actors wearing sweaters and puffer jackets but no gloves or hats and this movie filmed in airbnbs with beige walls and no decorations whatsoever... And the 'cafe' that only serves drip coffee and always only has one consumer at a time? Chef's kiss :D.

I didn't think I'd like it, but a moment after I put it on, I knew I wanted to continue!

Having viewed all of Alexandra's works, Looking For Her and City of Trees are my picks. Hands down Swarens and Buckle have strong, convincing chemistry together on screen. The overall quality of the film was a cut above her earlier works, showing Swarens is growing in her craft. The cinematography and sound seemed more refined. Im hopeful Alexandra will continue to dig deep, producing and directing at an even higher level. Throwing Olivia Buckle back into the mix would be a plus in my opinion. Buckle's ability to adapt on screen is obvious, and I feel she has more depth to contribute. Looking For Her is a great holiday, feel good flick.
