Fresh new lesbian entertainment site Cherry Grrl spotlights a pair of new lesbian features this month.
The Maria de Madeiros flick, SHELTER ME gets a very flatterring 4 cherry review. Here’s an excerpt (click to read the full review):
“There’s something really special about the experience of watching a movie with subtitles. You automatically transform from couch-dwelling TV-watcher to a connoisseur of the arts who has been whisked away to a foreign land. Subtitles also make you pay attention – the laptop has to be put away and the magazines put down…the focus is now on the story unfolding in front of you. In Shelter Me, the story being told was in Italian, and it was anything but a typical lesbian film… Shelter Me was beautifully shot with excellent acting and well developed characters. The relationship between the two women, where there was clearly great love, was handled realistically and honestly in its depiction of how sometimes, no matter how important someone is to you, you can’t stop yourself from doing something that will hurt them.”
And continuing with the joy of subtitled films… the new German lesbian feature, FOUR MINUTES gets a 3.5 cherry review:
“When someone uses the word “original” to describe a movie, they are talking about movies like Four Minutes… Four Minutes is a very dark but extremely well made film that can be greatly appreciated for its moving performances, its strong character development, and its powerful depictions of the relationships between women – both romantic and those that are much more complex.”
