Almost Adults

It was really adorable and I LOVED the great wordplay with innuendos that are sprinkled all around in the movie. The relationships are actually rather fascinating. But... I am sorry to say that some of the jokes almost ruined the movie for me. Most had me seriously cracking up...But then...1. "50yo woman with two mentally disabled sons". It was actually cruel. Also, really... insensitive. It is just not wise or kind to mock others, especially if you never took the time to even consider what it would be like to be them, or how they actually got there. Also, 2. "Bald 40yo man that runs a convenience store". This Really repulsed me because if you care anything about immigrants, refugees, just people in general, this humor is shows ignorance. Is this Trump humor? Just random blows at innocent people based off of faulty assumptions! Be careful about your humor. It can really ruin an otherwise great movie! Now, another joke was chosen by the writers to carry on throughout the movie, and it was incredibly harsh. It was when the girls continued to bash a man and reduce him as a person to nothing more than the embarrassing size of his penis. Haven't enough women dealt with this to understand how bad this makes people feel? Women are judged all the time about their bodies. Now, before you assume about me, I just want to also add that, No, I am not a man that was burned by the joking. I am just a compassionate and empathetic woman that instantly feels the sharp pain that other people might be feeling when they are attacked out of nowhere by this kind of humor. It takes more effort to be kind, but it really does matter. No one, male or female should be judged and mocked for who they are or for their shapes. Keep those hateful thoughts to yourself, please, if you must have them.

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.

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.

This could have been a reasonably entertaining movie, if the scenes had been rehearsed more and if the director had gotten the right tone. But we are left with, for instance, cringy scenes where the actors don't know what to do with their hands while speaking, and the director keeps their awkwardness in frame. Halting lines delivered with entirely wrong emphasis. Some of the premises were not believable -- if the young lesbian had spent so much time watching lesbian porn, as shown, she surely would have had a better grasp of some basic moves. And the idea that her best friend did not know was too farfetched. The film had heart, but it needed a director who could perceive how weak the shots were, and it needed a scriptwriter who could fix the obvious flaws. This movie is better than a "class project" level of competence, but only just. There is not a single moment of brilliance or hilarity. Yet, it's sort of worth watching, if you're determined to watch EVERY lesbian movie you can find.

I'm not familiar with the two actresses. I wasn't expecting much. The film itself is a relatively low budget situational drama. It could probably make a decent play.

What I enjoyed was the kookiness of the two leads. They were overacting but then half the story is about overreacting, being a bit annoying and self centred. But as friends, they don't realise it until the friendship is tested. But I liked all the little ways they were reacting to each other, there was real chemistry there. The levity helped break the moments of tension.

I felt there were some overdone moments. The last scene should have been cut. But I guess it shows how both got closure and moved on. The pacing in the story drifts a bit so it's slightly too long. The story isn't convoluted but also not very deep and plays up to some huge cliches, for instance not all women who play softball/soccer/football/sports are lesbians. The way they talk in the film is also annoying at first, but aside from the parents.. That's true of all the actors except the soccer chick.
