Girls on Film

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
