Elisa et Marcela

Such a heart warming story of two girls who were madly in love with each other and their struggles to be together at all cost. Give it a try you will not regret it.

I don't get it? Why are there so few ratings? Don't we always crave and scream for authentic LGBTQ+ content? This is part of our history. I loved it. And I love Netflix being so open about them representing our community and why it's nessecary.

The only thing I don't get is the OCTOPUS?!

I wasn't expecting an arthouse film but a traditional narrative, and so was pleasantly surprised. The formal critic reviews I read beforehand, were overly harsh methinx. Using contemporary film-making styles with dramatic dialogue, scenes of conflict, characterisatiion development etc to drive a plot, would not have enhanced it in my view. While the critics were "eye rolling" and complaining of how slow it was moving, i was walking through an art gallery, lingering on moments captured beautifully in the B&W landscape.

It is a simple tale told with minimal dialogue primarily through imagery, with beauty, poignancy, grief, the playful innocence of the girls they once were, the elemental power of giving birth, among other things. The archetype images of the first Goddess in her aspects of Maiden, Mother, Crone across the three acts. The erotic scenes so pooh-poohed by the critics were also staged with poetic metaphors of the Feminine spiritual principle of Nature.

Beautiful story , marvellously done. Brave and sensual at the same time. Captures the kindness and fear of people of the time. Loved the cinematography.

This movie is so heartbreaking and full of emotions yet so good and so pure and the acting is so good they captured the real story really good and the black and white whole affect thing was a nice touch, I loved the full nudity of it, lol , no , like , I felt almost like I was with them, which is hard to do. In summary I loved the whole movie I think that you should totally watch it !
