Elena Undone. Worth The Wait

Elena undone generated a lot of buzz well before it's release.

With the highly publicized longest kiss in cinema clips circulating most lesbian movie discussion forums and getting all those you tube views.... Of course we couldn't wait to see the movie



But the concern was that with all the hype, the film may be .. disappointing
Good news. Elena Undone delivers. It more than delivers, it a great lesbian movie.

Basically, Elena is a preachers wife whose life from looking in from outside looks great but early on in the film you can tell Elena is unfulfilled. She meets Peyton, a photographer who is openly lesbian and things get rather interesting after that.

That's all I going to share about the plot.

Stunning actresses, well executed story and some credible philosophy.

Great job.... well worth the hype

The Kids Are Alright. Anti Lesbian Story

Honestly I couldn't wait to see 'The Kids Are Alright'
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
