Review of Alto

Alto (2015)
10/10
Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
2 July 2016
I've never written a review before so bare with me. I felt the urge to write one today as I feel this movie is heavily underrated. I voted highly as I would like to see the ratings up. Firstly I can see how this movie could be misinterpreted as just another cheesy mafia film. To be honest it kind of is for all the right reasons especially if you're a lady loving lady. Sure this movie isn't for everyone but it is fun and light-hearted.

If you're a woman who likes women. I want you to think of a LGBT themed movie that has a happy, light, funny storyline.

...go on....take your time...

'But I'm A Cheerleader' doesn't count!

...something with a realistic script.

I know I'm struggling to think of one.

That's the point I want to make. We don't have enough movies like this, where we can just sit back and enjoy the laugh without someone dying, breaking up or going through emotional struggle. I feel like this movie ticks all the right boxes. Maybe it is a 10/10 not as a film in general, but in terms of LGBT films.

When I first watched this film I too was quick to judge it just another cheesy mafia film. However, after the numerous times watching it, it is now one of my favourite lesbian movies.

If my rambling hasn't put you off then I urge you to go watch this film!

and remember...

...don't judge a book by its cover (or movie..so to speak)
