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.

This movie is a huge letdown. I ran into it already playing during a film club meeting. At no point in time was there any graphic oral sex, and virtually no scissoring. For something that bills itself as a 'lesbian' movie, you would expect, at the minimum, some feverish finger-blasting or some heated frottage. Instead you get a bunch of poorly acted activism and a ham handed political message and virtually nothing remotely arousing. If you want to see some really worn out looking women blathering about misogyny (which doesn't even real!) pass this movie up. Hustler's "No Man's Land: Asian Edition" is the far better lesbian movie you are looking for.

I had high hopes for this film, after loving 'But I'm a Cheerleader', but frankly, I was disappointed. It was particularly difficult to empathise with the main character, Anna, because she just came across as a bratty, angsty teen without any depth. The relationship between Anna and Sadie was terrible. I just couldn't bring myself to route for them, because Sadie treated Anna terribly and Anna was better without her, as shown at the end when the plan comes together. I hated the ending because I just didn't like the relationship and how it was built up. This film would have been better if it focused on the group more as a whole, because it raised some issues that are important, and had more interesting characters in it than Anna and Sadie.Basically, I wouldn't recommend this as a 'must-see' lesbian film, because there are so many that are better. But it raises some interesting political debates, so as long as you're not too bothered about liking the characters, you should watch it.

This was just a wonderfully irreverent film. The chemistry between Carley Pope and Daniella Sea is frickin' amazing. Love her! I watch it when it premiered in LA, and had the chance to see both of them do a Q & A. So sweet. I just usually see people killing off all the lesbians in a film (or having them kill off people). These women were able to talk about all these issues and make it funny. And for once it wasn't about the main character coming out of the closet! It's like people don't think lesbians have any other story in them but that one. refreshing to see both characters out of the closet and there journey was about something else.
