Walk with Me

I Often look for movies that I can relate to. This movie ticked that box. In today's topsy turvy world it can be difficult to find a balance, to find where you will be satisified with your life. This is a story of such a search. The characters meet once then again when they start their relationship. It is tentative at first then they become friends, then more than friends. The progression is emotionally charged every step of the way. Well worth the watch. Those that say the nudity is severe must have been watching a different movie. I only say a hint of nudity. I will probably watch this gem again.

Walk With Me (2021) was written and directed by Isabel del Rosal. It stars Devin Dunne Cannon as Amber Evans and Bridget Barkan as Logan Pierce.

Amber has left her husband, and needs a place to live. Logan is a realtor who finds her an apartment. There's a chemistry between them, almost from the start.

However, the course of true love never did run smooth. Societal and parental pressures work against the pair.

Forces pushing lesbian lovers apart is not a new theme. However, what makes this movie so good is the superb direction, the skill of the two lead actors, and the fact that the characters they portray are so interesting.

Amanda Walther is a noted Canadian singer and songwriter, and she wrote all the excellent songs in the film. (Logan is a singer, and when she sings in the movie she is dubbed by Walthers.)

We saw this movie virtually as part of Rochester's wonderful ImageOut, the LGBT Film Festival. This film has an IMDb rating of 7.4, which is very good, but based on only five votes. I thought it was much better than that, and rated it 9.

I was dubious about watching this movie at first. As often movies that are about lesbian love stories tend to be poor quality and with bad actors, too many awkward pauses and the characters come across as overly emotional.

However I am pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised!

In this movie the acting is good, and the relationship between the characters seem authentic. They didn't try to overshoot it and put too many sex scenes in to appeal to male audience either.

It was a truly romantic movie, that seemed to be on equal footing to our straight allies for once, I was soo pleased to watch such a good quality movie.

One of the main characters is a quality vocalist, good acting all round, many touching moments, a solid 6 from me, no less.

A film many will love, certainly worth watching for most, well done.

This film is wonderful. First, it's visually gorgeous, the music was lovely, the writing and acting were perfect, it was sexy, sensual, authentic, charming! And had the best ending. I honestly loved loved loved it. The NYC backdrop was such a pleasure as it is my town and I love seeing art like this come from it. Please see it. Superb.
