This New Zealand documentary exposes the lives and careers and Lynda and Jules Topp, superstars in their home country for their country singing and comedy routines. They're also openly lesbian, activists on many causes, and they live on a farm as they did when they grew up.
The above description has so many apparent contradictions that I had to see this movie. There is so much to like about these women and the principles by which they live. Here are some examples:
The footage of their careers goes back to the early 1980s. The film also has a moving turn when the family must deal with cancer.
Overall, the fun spirit is what moves this film. Even the names of some of their characters can cause a laugh. Imagine a pair of hoity-toity rich sisters named Prue and Dilly Ramsbottom.
Very entertaining. - dbamateurcritic.
The above description has so many apparent contradictions that I had to see this movie. There is so much to like about these women and the principles by which they live. Here are some examples:
- many good causes including anti-discrimination laws, aboriginal land claims, and nuclear disarmament.
- using humour, friendliness, and inclusion to draw in middle-of-the-road voters during a debate for a bill that would outlaw discrimination against gays and lesbians.
- staying true to their roots by entertaining rural audiences while still being out lesbians.
- also staying true to their roots by refusing to "update" themselves to be more palatable to audiences in the US or England.
