The Feels

It was a decent movie. The actors acted, the director directed, the script was complex and careful with the details. It was the plot that could put people off, being just about people getting together for a weekend for a lesbian bachelorette party and talking about their feelings. The title of the movie relates directly to orgasms and I think that it was the most artificial thing in the whole thing. I mean, yeah, orgasms are important to the story, but only for some characters and the interviews with everybody describing their first orgasm felt completely out of place to the rest of the film, which was about their life issues in general.

I can't in good conscience recommend the film, but it was definitely not bad. If you like this kind of movies - you know, people getting together in a retreat and NOT being chased by monsters or manic killers - then you will probably like this one.

If you liked the indie movie "That's Not Us," you would probably like this movie. I couldn't stand that "gem" of a film and neither could I stand this one. First of all, movies that hinge entirely on dialogue better have a good script and characters we care about. This movie attempts to be "real" and show dialogue of twenty/thirty something aged folks together for a weekend bachelorette party (some people don't know each other well so it goes out of its way to capture awkwardness), but I seriously question the quality and realism of the script.

Combine that with some bad acting and directing, including things like sudden melodramatic gestures/sudden tears from most of the cast at odd moments, random bursts of song from the singer character, and one of the main characters not knowing how to jog without flailing her arms (even non-runners know how to jog a little without looking ridiculous-which was reallllly overdoing it), a nerdy male "Harry Potter" looking guy being lined after by multiple attractive women in the film and you have a bad/unrealistic movie.

I didn't even touch the plot issues. I won't spoil it, but let's just say that if the main lesbian couple just talked more openly, this movie wouldn't have a reason to exist.

In addition, the director made the odd choice to also rely on faux interviews with the characters talking to an interviewer behind the camera to learn more about each person and his/her sexual development. Why was this necessary? It seemed odd and out of place in this dialogue-heavy movie.

Character development was poor. Actors start crying in the film or bickering before you have time to understand them or care.

Ultimately, this movie is a complete waste of time. It was like watching footage of a bunch of random people I don't know and don't care about try to work things out/avoid things over the course of a weekend. Yawn!

As a lesbian, I am well accustomed to watching awful films just for a lesbian storyline but this was definitely one of the worst. I didn't connect with any of the characters and nothing really happened throughout the whole movie. There are also some really cringey parts where one of the characters sings.

I came across this movie on Netflix and while I greatly disliked the actress who played Lu - her acting style was very distracting - I did enjoy Constance Wu's Andi and the supporting characters, especially the very funny Regular Helen.

I've watched a plethora of lesbian movies and yes a lot of them are really tacky and make little sense but this one was just bad. none of the characters were likeable. the script is mediocre. as a lesbian, I wasnt expecting much because let's face it, we don't get representation on screen very much so it's not a total shocker but I guess this left me wanting for more.
