This wonderful documentary was recently aired on late-night Australian
public television, itself a veritable coup. Informative, insightful and
loving, it is also hard-hitting, confrontational (especially about the
continuing struggle for equality in partner benefits, marriage rights,
etc.)
and not the least bit sentimental. Bravo to these two brave ladies, and
to
the well-paced filmmaking.
Favourite moment - Florida ruminations of a room full of 70-something
Brooklyn Jews, accents somewhere between Jackie Mason and The Nanny. A
long-standing friend, seemingly modeled on ZsaZsa Gabor, proclaims
"Ruthie
and Connie...they have the best relationship of us all!"

It is actually very good. Ruthie and Connie are two older women who
have found love at a relatively late age; they were neighbors in NYC,
and already had grandchildren when their relationship developed.
We see them in NY, with groups of friends, and also visiting their
community in Florida. Their tenderness and concern for each other is
moving, and at times humorous. It is positive to see their love and
regard for each other, even with resistance of their own children.
I am glad for channels like this, where normally the mainstream does
not get exposed to these kind of positive stories. To me, it is still
censorship if an audience is not exposed to any human stories. I for
one am tired of reviews screaming "liberal bias, or agenda". This is
just a telling story about two women and brings something positive to
the table for discussion. This is highly recommended,it is a positive,
life-affirming story well worth seeing. 9/10.

I saw this movie at the NYC Gay & Lesbian Film Fest and was honored to
meet
Ruth & Connie as well. They wonderfully combine Yiddishkeit with up-front
lesbianism, compassion and humor. Highly recommended whatever your race,
religion or sexual orientation.
