the_wolf_imdb Rise up, comrades! Here we have an educational feminist propaganda movie dressed as a comedy. A bunch of no so pretty girls doing not so much real work, they partying a little and doing not so much revolutionary work in not so much funny movie. They try to explore their sexuality in not so explicit way. Most of the movie is blaming these white racist, I mean these men who are pigs or something. Except for those dumb but lovely boy toys who are good at licking the female parts.Wow. Is this supposed to be modern or progressive? I call it both dumb and naive.I happen to live in a former communist country where the REAL feminism was a daily thing. We have had these really emancipated women who were driving tractors, working in steel mills and doing all possible "male jobs" including serving in military and dying for our country. It was not pretty nor erotic - the daily hard work was no so good for their bodies nor soul. Also they were included in some real revolution and had the honor to be jailed, punished and executed as their male comrades. Not so romantic and not so pretty in reality.I would recommend to folks who think this is progressive to visit some real place where the women have their revolutionary roles assigned by government like Northern Korea. A year or two could teach them about their prospect in REAL class-less society. It is way different than they think.Some confused folk might think this naive propaganda movie is somewhat inspirational or funny. I consider this to be a slow and somewhat boring horror movie because I have seen the society where this became a harsh reality. Something like a funny movie about a bunch of mad outsiders who are mad at the oppression of the society and decide to found an activist group called NSDAP. Funny. Real funny.

lastliberal Anna (Melonie Diaz from Be Kind Rewind and A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints) catches Sadie (Nicole Vicius from Hal Nelson) tagging the windows where she works. She is a quiet, doormat kind of girl, and now she is in the middle of a group of radical women out to change the world.Will the experience change her? Will Sadie leave her current girlfriend for her? Will they change anything? Does it matter if you affect change, or is trying enough? Questions, questions, questions.Anna changes as things progress and becomes less of a doormat. This amid a continual stream of punk, home-movie like shots of girls just having fun, the politics of direct action, and, yes, sex; but only as an exclamation point, not a continual conversation.A "real" lesbian movie that was a real joy from start to finish.

graymalkin_2 IBTC was the opening night film at the Indianapolis LGBT film festival and I did not enjoy it. The most frustrating aspect of this film is that it had a good premise and could have been something truly powerful for the community.For all of its expression of feminist empowerment, it is utterly amazing that the filmmaker expects the audience to accept that the main character can use and abuse the friendship of the transgender character and be together with the pretty little femme girl, who has a history of using and abusing other women. That ending completely undercuts many of the themes of the film itself.On top of that, the only characters with any depth at all are those that, interestingly enough, are more stereotypically feminine in their appearance. The more ambiguous characters are all very one-note.And that ending...the plot holes are glaring. How did Aggie find himself operating a camera on a nationally-syndicated television show without being discovered by those who already work there? Also, someone has clearly commandeered the control room and no one is attempting to take it back? Oh, and how long have such talk shows been broadcast live, with no delay or edit? I'm sure that someone will point out that this is a comedy, but it should still be consistent in its own logic.Once again, Jamie Babbit has come up with an interesting premise and refused to do it justice.

carterscoolbreeze A tour de force for Jamie Babbit. This film is socially relevant and fun at the same time. It's about a young woman's journey and discovery of herself, not her sexually. That just is…and it's OK with everyone. How refreshing a lesbian film where it is OK to be a lesbian. Maybe they should have named it But I'm a Lesbian. The film is really sexy, with an amazing cool sound track of now singers: le tigre and peaches are way cool and really add a lot to this film. It's pretty much a all woman cast with lots of the "popular" girls in it. Carly and Leslie make me laugh. These chicks really know how to rock. The girls who play Ana and Sadie (the leads) are so pretty and incredible talented. The best part of the film is the whole thing. I think it's Babbitt best work yet. It should be on the best list of lesbian films ever made.
