I did like this film, to state right off the bat. I've been a fan of T Dinwiddie since watching 'Raven's Touch', so to find out she was in one of the most famous lesbian drama's was so exciting to me!

After watching, I still couldn't figure out whether I liked it or not. I did, because I thought the storyline had potential and obviously loved 'Peyton'. However, I didn't particularly like 'Elena' played by Necar Zadegan. I don't know if it is because of the character and her far fetched nature or the actor's approach but something with her just didn't sit right. She seemed almost too dramatic and not quite naturalistic in a strange way.

Also, the editing was strange. Almost all of the transitions were a fade to black which just made it feel slow and poorly filmed.

But if you put past these attributes it is an enjoyable film. One to watch a few times before you can fully appreciate it! Also THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY HAVING A HAPPY ENDING!!! Finally, Lesbians can actually live happily together.

Whilst agreeing with a few of the more negative reviews here, I have come to claim my opinion on what I thought was a beautifully written and acted movie.

Without spoiling, the storyline centres around two women who ultimately find peace and serenity within themselves and each other. Raven, who has just gone through a trauma, and Kate a (what we can assume gay) mother of two.

I have to completely disagree with Raven being uncouth and wild, as when you see it through the eyes of a traumatised woman who is grieving greatly, she becomes beautifully sad to me. I think no one can judge on what they would do under such circumstances. And thus, I think Raven deserves more praise than she is currently receiving. Also, the performances from Dreya Webber was true and raw, so in response to comments saying it was miss cast I also have to disagree!

I have been a fan of T Dinwiddie for a short time, and became one after this film in fact. In no way do I think her performance was wooden by any stretch of the imagination. She quite in fact blew me away. (Also I think she's like the most beautiful person I've ever seen aha!)

Although, I will agree the love scene comes too early into their meeting and didnt have much of a building. However, I do think it was beautifully shot and wasnt too explicit (I feel in such serene films such as this, too explicit sex scenes just become uncalled for.) Also, some parts were a little far fetched like the crazy ex showing up for no more reason than putting in some angst!

I will rewatch time and time again. This is one 18 year old lesbian who is considered entertained!!
