This film should be commended for its stark and unforgiving portrayal of Female longing, passion and Love. Though the dialogue can be predictable at times and the storyline is nothing new, the actors bring a deep sensitivity to their roles. Erika Linder's Dallas, as the out lesbian, is a character of silent brooding, prone to fits of sensual passion. Natalie Krill's Jasmine, is a Well-to-do Fashion Editor who is caught up in a lesbian romance for the first time. The chemistry between these two is real and sizzling hot, with fine touches of wonder and whimsy sprinkled in that is often the byproduct of intimacy. Like any well-made Romance, you find yourself wanting the couple to find true lasting Love. Dallas needs to find a Woman that she loves unconditionally and Jasmine needs real intimacy, which Dallas unleashes in an uninhibited frenzy. Some may think that this movie is nothing more than an excuse for pushing porn for profit, as the sex scenes are raw and carnal. But at its core, this film is an honest portrayal of the highs and lows of intimacy, from the throes of delight to the dejection of heartbreak. This makes it all the more moving as a testament to the complexity of Love & longing.
