A lesbian themed movie with Julianne Moore. What more could you ask for.
And with all the reviews of the film and all that I really was ready to fall in love with it
But after watching it I suspect I may have seen the wrong movie.
Sure 'The Kids Are Alright' is about a lesbian couple.
And yes it has Julianne Moore in it, who I have a lot of respect for.
But....
If there was ever a story about reasons not to have a lesbian relationship, this was it.
Let's look at a few Lesbian versus heterosexual parallels going on
Nic (played by Annette Benning) treats her wife Jules (the Julianne Moore character)with contempt and disrespect. Paul (Mark Ruffalo) on the other hand is genuinely interested in Jules point of view
Sex with Nic is ..... Lets not go there
Sex with Mark...... Amazing.
Need I go on
So in what way is this a lesbian interest movie?
The high point of the movie was Mark Ruffalo

It's called LEZPLOITATION
lez•ploi•ta•tion [lèz ploy táy sh'n]
noun
1.Unfair treatment or use: the practice of taking selfish or unfair advantage of lesbians or lesbianism, usually for personal gain.
2.Development of lesbians for benefit: the use or development of a faux lesbian identity in order to gain a benefit.
•Usage: In an interview, writer/director Lisa “Sellout” Cholodenco said her movie (The Kids are Alright) was “meant to appeal to male audiences, not lesbians” … which obviously categorized it as a lezploitation movie.
