The Girl on the Bridge

If you see only one documentary about lesbian, country-singing, comedian twins from New Zealand, make this the one! Jools and Linda Topp have become phenomenally successful among the Kiwis for the sprightly combination of comical characters and catchy ditties, and this exuberant film captures the joy they bring both to their performance and to their daily lives. If you aren't already a Topp Twins fans, you'll be one by the end of this delightful doc. —Outfest Film Festival

My favourite feel good documentary!

This documentary is one of the best feel good films I've ever seen. I saw it on Netflix and loved it. The Topp Twins are amazing and the documentary itself is beautifully made. I had heard it won the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival a few years ago and so I had high expectations and it didn't let me down. The story of two completely unique women who aren't afraid to be themselves and take life head on is inspiring. The film made me laugh out loud, and cry a little. It really is a wonderful journey. Perfectly paced, with fabulous juxtaposition of humour, politics, music and social comment. The central device of a concert at which the Twins tell their story is brilliant. I felt like I was part of the audience. I'm not gay but I wish every homophobic person in the world could see this film as it is absolutely impossible to not enjoy getting to know these two middle aged lesbians. I don't think I've ever seen a documentary quite like it. It is a little sad that they aren't better known in this part of the world, I guess I'll have to go to New Zealand one day to see them live.
