7/10
Lesbianism Is Not The Point
11 June 2001
Forget the lesbian story line. This movie works and is interesting because the two main characters, who at first are repelled by each other, have the maturity, strength and intelligence to stick it out and probe deeper into each others personalities. Certain aspects of each other they will continue to dislike but are able to reach a place of understanding and even intimacy. That's the beauty of what transpires in this film. Watching this process take place, handled with intelligent dialogue, is what makes the movie intriguing.

It's always refreshing to see a low budget film pull it off, proving once again millions of dollars are not necessary to make a captivating film. A good story and writing are and this film has it.

I have to say the blatant stereotyping of a couple of the supporting characters really distracted from the overall effectiveness of this film.

Still a 7/10.
