Raven's Touch

There are so few movies around with lesbian content that I try and watch any that come out. This one was again a truly disappointing experience. First up I should admit I am a movie fanatic. I'll watch anything, except SciFi and Horror. The story line of Raven's Touch is going nowhere, the acting is good, I must must admit. For the rest I got truly annoyed with the way the 'mad' Raven was portrayed. Raven moved to a remote cabin after a tragic accident that she blames herself for. So she runs around in the woods like a lunatic in underpants and singlet...? In time she meets a mother who has taken her kids camping, and the two form a special bond when their worlds collide. Just too silly a movie to spend more time writing about it.

Whilst agreeing with a few of the more negative reviews here, I have come to claim my opinion on what I thought was a beautifully written and acted movie.

Without spoiling, the storyline centres around two women who ultimately find peace and serenity within themselves and each other. Raven, who has just gone through a trauma, and Kate a (what we can assume gay) mother of two.

I have to completely disagree with Raven being uncouth and wild, as when you see it through the eyes of a traumatised woman who is grieving greatly, she becomes beautifully sad to me. I think no one can judge on what they would do under such circumstances. And thus, I think Raven deserves more praise than she is currently receiving. Also, the performances from Dreya Webber was true and raw, so in response to comments saying it was miss cast I also have to disagree!

I have been a fan of T Dinwiddie for a short time, and became one after this film in fact. In no way do I think her performance was wooden by any stretch of the imagination. She quite in fact blew me away. (Also I think she's like the most beautiful person I've ever seen aha!)

Although, I will agree the love scene comes too early into their meeting and didnt have much of a building. However, I do think it was beautifully shot and wasnt too explicit (I feel in such serene films such as this, too explicit sex scenes just become uncalled for.) Also, some parts were a little far fetched like the crazy ex showing up for no more reason than putting in some angst!

I will rewatch time and time again. This is one 18 year old lesbian who is considered entertained!!

This film is not worth watching.Sorry, Webber ,Tracie Dinwiddie can only be type cast opposite Necar Zadegan. I just felt like the casting was just wrong. Secondly there is not much of a storyline to fall in love with. The love scene was so random not much chemistry between the two protagonists.Chemistry between two people on screen is the essence of a love story. When making a lesbian film please take some notes from Josephine Tengblad producer of Kyss Mig and also Ich will dich these are two brilliantly crafted films.A beautiful love story between two women is all I want to watch and the films just mentioned epitomize beauty.This film did not do anything for me.

I had the great fortune to be there for the world premiere of Raven's Touch at the Laemmle Theater in Los Angeles. I was glued to my seat for the entire length of the film. Traci Dinwiddie, Dreya Weber and David Hayward deliver that WOW experience that I was hoping for. The acting is superb. The storyline is excellent and brought to life from script to screen with great direction and attention to detail from Dreya Weber (who wrote the story & co-directed) and Marina Rice Bader(co-director & producer). The cinematography is second to none, surpassing what I had expected from a limited budgeted film. I believe that Raven's Touch was solely fan base financed. The whole experience of Raven's Touch will leave you both satisfied and wanting more. It is wonderful how Raven's(Dreya Weber) tragic story and Kate's(Traci Dinwiddie) desire for family unity collide into this moving film about discovery, understanding and healing. Do not miss this opportunity to see this film. Another home run from Soul Kiss Films.
