This film feels stereotypical. Yet, it differs from the rest.
To try to explain: In it's way of portraying lesbians it feels a bit flat and non progressive. One is a butch, the other's not, they have hot lesbian sex but are apart from that pretty cold people. But the style of the film, the editing and general scenography differs from the previous ''lesbian movies'' I've watched. While others tend to be long drawn out borderline tedious this one is straight on the other side of the chart. It feels very shortly cut which gives it almost a documentary feel to it and I think this deprives it of some depth it desperately needed hence the non saying characters.
In another way, the documentary feel works in favour of the main focus of the movie, which is indeed very real. It helps the viewer feel how unjust the system works and how it tears relationships that lesbian couples has to go through this in order to have child.
Even though a lot of things could've been improved I do think this movie is worth the watch because it touches such an important issue. It builds itself up at the same time as it's tearing itself apart.
6/10

I've heard a lot about this series and so I thought it was time to get my hands on it, the best decision I've made in a while. This pilot is one of the better ones I've seen; it differs a bit from the rest of the episodes but it does so to really show the series potential and wide spectrum when it comes to age specific humour. I should probably mention that I am no fan of Disney shows nor cartoons or animated series in general, so an 8/10 rating on this show (which fits into both above named categories) is a great deal. The thing that I think contributes the most to making this such a great pilot is the humour. A seven-year-old can enjoy it for it's silliness and goofiness, but a 20-, 30- or even 40-year-old can enjoy it just the same thanks to the witty and sometimes dark comedy hidden between the frames. It also manages to capture people of all ages's interest with the beginning of a great mystery...
Totally got me to want to watch more, as a pilot should do.
