Camp Belvidere

Really liked how the story slowly progressed, the actresses were on point at playing lovers, it was a proper 50 shades of Grey lemme tell ya! Seriously though, it felt like I was watching an award winning short film! 8/10 I give this short lesbian film!

I generally don't watch lesbian short films. My usual experience with them is that they're frustratingly amateurish, with poor production value and bad acting. I know that money is what makes any film possible, and that a short film is a compressed experience, but having a shoestring budget should not in and of itself result in low quality work. So I was pleasantly surprised by Camp Belvidere. With just 38 minutes to tell its story, it did so with rich visuals, a strong theme, decent performances, atmospheric soundtrack, and a compelling and satisfying plot. No film is perfect, and personal opinions are just that, but if you're in the mood for a lesbian romance film, Camp Belvidere is commendable.

Huge fan of this short. Glad to see a new story about first love. Beautiful imagery and thought out dialogue. I recommmend 100%!

I can see the potential in Astrid Ovalles work here (certainly as an actor), but the trailer is sadly better than the film.

There are some stylish shots, but there are issues with story telling and a lack of context generally. Also, this film isn't believably set in the 50s.

This film is too reliant on minimal dialogue - which usually would be a plus, but in this case due to a lack of any other method of story telling (montage, cutaways, establishing shots, tertiary characters) there's little to go on - thus it's all very 2d and I didn't buy into the romance.

With more development, and clearer direction (particularly with the younger actor who darted out of frame too much, made 20C gestures and expressions and failed to embody a young woman of that decade), this could be a story worth telling.

Potential, yet to be realised.

Such a beautiful movie. Soundtrack so good. Plot so great. Choreography beautiful.
