Almost Adults

I was really excited to watch this film because I am a huge fan of the Gay Women Channel. I watched it on Netflix tonight and have to say I feel empty after finishing it... And not in a good way. The two lead performances (by Carmilla's own Elise Baumen and Natasha Negovanlis) were good, not great, and they made the most of what they had, script-wise. It almost felt like it would have worked better as a YouTube series or something serialized. The story sort of petered off and then went no where... It was also sort of off-putting to see Natasha and Elise in this situation, honestly... It was hard to believe. The stakes were never quite high enough to earn their dramatic performances. Looking forward to what all of these artists do next. Liked it, but definitely didn't love it.

Because of the horrible review I read I really didn't expect much. So, I was surprised to find that this movie as really quite charming. The acting as not so horrible but if you're from L.A. it might have seemed mocking of the "valley girl" way of speech. However, many girls across the U.S. really do talk like that no thanks to 90210. It was a comedy. It didn't seem any more forced than many of the really bad comedies coming out of Hollywood these days with huge lead actors. It was a cute little movie.

I honestly don't know why there are so many negative reviews; I thought it was super sweet, relateable, funny, and a breath of fresh air both in terms of representation and in the fact that it didn't fall prey to most LGBTQ fiction tropes or film clichés in general. It was very real and also just kept me giggling, and the actors are all fantastic. New favorite!

This movie underwhelmed me. Not the worst but not very good / memorable either.

An entertaining film, with a pleasant rhythm that lets pass the time quickly, besides some performances by Natasha Negovanlis and Elise Bauman are very acceptable and it shows the rapport and communication that have Carmilla.

But even so, there are changes of rhythm that dislocate, since at the hour approximately does not understand why the change in the relationship between the two protagonists, this at least slows down the pace with which the story is being told and leaves us with A last half hour a little to the must as it feels like two completely different films. Besides that the characters never manage to be well developed by the same thing can not have a clear acceptance towards them.

In summary it is not a bad movie, but in the trailer it looked much better than the final product.
