• Crush (2022) [+14] [us] #sapphicfox

[synopsis; no spoiler]

I just watched yesterday (23/08/23) the movie Crush and I loved it!

It's one of that teen cliché movies, a romcom coming of age, but with sapphics and I hadn't seen a production with so many sapphics like that yet (but my references are few tho lol), the movie introduces about to 4 sapphics that could be an option to Paige be in love instead of the 💫intangible Gabby💫, so I thought it'd be limited to that, like "they're the only gays of the school", but throughout the movie we get to see more lesbians characters naturally there, multisexuals and gays too, oh straight too lol.

You know that story where the protagonist has a crush on the popular person of school and tries to get close to them, but their attempt always ends up being embarrassing or simply not goes as planned? Well, one of Paige's attempts to get close to Gabby leads her to spend time with someone else.

[comments; spoiler]

I have to say that I understand Paige completely, when Gabby first came up oof, gorgeous! I understand her in both cases, AJ total girlfriend material, she asking if Paige wanted to try the skate and holding her hands while staring at her eyes (/ω＼) it's the staging of my teenage dream (∩˃////˂∩) lol

Just the fact that Rowan Blanchard is in the movie I already loved it, because I used to follow her ig and she's a fashion and feminist icon, but she did Paige really well, the way she stuttered when were close to Gabby and blabbered random facts 🤭 speaking of that I love that she did the same with AJ when she fell in love with her, it's a simple thing that any good writer would do, but I love it (∩˃ ᵕ ˂∩)

Other point that I love is the colors growing behind Paige's crush. The scene where Gabby and AJ are side by side and Paige looks at them and the background colors up, woah it was like I was in love with them. I saw that the movie was going to be called Love in Color, it matches perfectly the concept, but I don't know why it changed.

One thing that didn't get clear to me was if AJ already had a crush on Paige before they started talking or not, because the movie shows the scene when they were kids exemplifying how AJ didn't know how to express herself and the sketches on the first pages of her notebook are already about Paige, unless she just had started a new sketchbook it kinda makes me think AJ already liked her, buuuut also there's the scene where AJ say that started to fall in love with Paige at the same time as her, so I don't know, I consider that they fell in love together.

Paige's bestie and mother 😂👌 pure comic, the top cherry was the witch sapphic saying that has casted a spell not for Paige to fall in love with her, but with AJ 🤭🤭🤭

After a few rounds of losses this one felt so good

I was mentally kinda in the dump the first few rounds before, but with this one I kinda got an energy kick and I both did better mentally and in the game

• Love of Secret (2022) [+13] [th] #sapphicfox

[it's officially rated +13, but I think it's okay for general audience]

[no spoiler]

A cute and wholesome movie 💞 it's not a romance, the focus is on PunPun that wants to be an idol, but fears her dad will be upset when he get to know.

Around PunPun's main storyline there's Tim, her bestie, fan and to-be girlfriend 🤭 also there are Pun's relatives brief storylines.

It's a family movie about a family, bem sessão da tarde.

• Seven (2021) [us] [36min] #sapphicfox

[didn't find age rating, but I'd say +14 is okay]

[intro; synopsis]

This short film it's written and directed by Alexander King, a black and queer creator of QueeriousTV on Amazon Prime Video, if it's anyone's interest.

It's about the first encounter of two women that changes their lives.

[comments; spoiler]

The film begins with a sex scene (non-explicit), for me this choice of opening scene is quite risky, it might catch a lot of viewers, but will it leave the impression that's wanted? It's the first scene, the viewer doesn't know anything about the characters, so the construction of this sex scene must be detailed thought out.

When I started watching I just thought "oh no, was it a cis man that wrote this? 😟", not that cis men can't write about sapphic relationships, but they commonly tend to describe women in a deformed and fetishizing way, which gets worse when it comes to women having romantic or sexual relationship with other women. But I tried to calm my mind and wait for the rest.

After watching the whole film I think that the sex scene was the first one to show how they met each other, pretty obvious, but it also had the nuances of showing the affection between them, how deeply connected they felt, how it was intense, how it overcame the barriers of mind (talking more about Skylar), how her body remembered it, missed it and was craving for it. However I didn't feel THAT, like it was affectionate, but it could've been more, for me the strong red light wasn't good, it stood out the scene, maybe purple or blue and not that strong, I felt like the red was getting into my entrails. If it was to keep the red in that scene, then in the scene where Seven gets back to her room after Skylar left it shouldn't be red, at least not that strong, but it makes sense they got out of the room and left the lights on, so it'd be on when Seven goes back... yeah, the red light disturbed me 😬🙈

Besides that, other technical thing that I didn't like were that there were too many cuts and the camera angles were almost the same, like it was filming Skylar sideways, then one second after it was an angle a little lower, then another one a little to the left, I don't know, it bothered me, maybe it was an intentional choice of construction of the scene, it imprints a feeling of distress tho, so it accomplished its goal 🤷

Does it mean it's a bad film? No, I didn't like some aspects of it, but you might like it fully.

The story is good, I hated Seven for making out and having sex with Skylar knowing that she didn't remember her, knowing that she had the accident after they fought, like looking superficially at it, Seven is part of the causes that lead to the accident, of course she's not at fault, but she's a motherfucker for hooking up with Skylar. After Seven explained more of the story I felt sorry for her, but she's still a bitch. I kind of understand Skylar's mother, but it's not good to hide facts of the person's life who lost their memory just because you think it's better for them, it's not fair.

• Meera The Tales of Life (2022) [+16] [np] [47min] #sapphicfox

[comments; no spoiler]

If you like to watch movies from different countries and/or from independent producers I recommend watching this one. Is it extraordinary? No, but for me the narrative mode is unusual, the story is told through a collection of moments, it's not a continuous storyline, there are a few dialogs, no narrator nor connection elements, it's like blocks of events.

[light spoiler]

I really liked the subtletly of how they portrayed the interest, the looks, the flirting and the passion during Meera's stay at the resort. I've got to say that I didn't expect to the actresses to have much skinship, much less that they'd kiss, even less that it'd have a bed scene, after the kiss I didn't get shocked anymore lol I'm like that because I watched productions from Myanmar, that is in the near region, and the stories were tragic and there was no skinship, just the fact of being gay (they were acquillean stories), so I was expecting something in the same vibe given that Nepal is a smaller country, I dunno, random concepts my mind created lol

[spoiler]

Well, enjoyed watching the movie, but it left me with questions, did Meera divorce Amar (not sure if that's the husband's name)? She got pregnant by her husband or she adopted a child? Why Anshu doesn't show up in the present? For this, I remembered the first scene where Meera was talking to the child about the pink ball, it was blurred but there was three adults, so... the husband welcomed Anshu? He thought of her as a solution to the pregnancy problem, like she'd make Meera happier and then *pop* a baby? Or he's totally okay about it? I wanted to know that. Also, when Amar argued with Meera about something, that she didn't respect him, what was that about? At first I thought she was breaking up with him, then I thought he found out about her affair, then I wondered if it was because Meera was sheltering Anshu at their home, oh speaking of that I found pretty sensitive the portrait of a rape case, given that there's an expressive data about that involving queer women, an aspect that only other feminine person comprehends well.

A movie by Anita Pandit.

[synopsis; no spoiler]

The typical coming of age story where the teenager eager to kiss someone before highschool, if not will be an eternal loser lol

[comments; spoiler]

The insecurity to act up, to do something you want, but your body reads it as a danger situation and send substances so you won't do it. Freeze or run.

There's fun in the way people tend to deal with separation, turn their attention over something else, actually that's basically how we deal with everything that hurts us in someway, the funny is that that's not the ideal way, rationally speaking, cause it might worsen the problem, but we need time, at least we're able to understand our feelings better, to understand someone else better, to communicate better, to not fear doing something that'll help ourselves and might be interpreted as rude, to prioritize ourselves. All this we can learn through more life experiences, in one year or ten, some people doesn't allow themselves to deepen into themselves, to see other perspectives, so they might never get mature. The point is that I read the story as, in time of losing her best friend, Erin turn her attention to Sydni, a new event in her life, unknown, someone that could occupy her mind from the emotions she was feeling, so what were her ultimate (shallow), the easiest thought that came in mind = kiss a girl and a possibility just came in town.

It's amazing how so many things could happen in the story, first Erin's confused feelings could be just for getting more distant from Liz and this loosening their friendship. Liz's mad feelings could be just the confrontation to the never expected moment of seeing her best friend wanting to try new things, making friends with other people. Erin could be really in love with Sydni, not just fascinated with her coolness, not just a crush and she'd be rejected and suffer deeply or Sydni could've like her too and they'd date. They could date and Erin understand that those confused feelings then were actually her growing romantic feelings crashing into the "departure". Or they could date happily and mutually and Liz swallow bitterly her newly discovered romantic feelings or they all could just be okay.

I just know I loved it, the acting is natural and realistic, the awkwardness, hesitation, stuttering, I don't know their age when they filmed it, but professional anyway 👌
