Hannah Free

"Hannah Free" is a rare lesbian movie that follows a couple from childhood through old age with fine performances by all involved, especially Sharon Gless and Maureen Gallagher as the older Hannah and Rachel. Hannah is bound to roam while Rachel settles down to a traditional wifely role in their Michigan hometown. There are serious tensions along with happy reunions in their long, complex relationship.

"Hannah Free" is a multi-generational story that shows the impact of the lovers' devotion on other family members. I thought a few scenes were a bit sappy and the conclusion was a little pat but everyone's heart was in the right place so , why kvetch? Kudos to the director for casting actors who are credible as butch or masc-looking lesbians as the young and older Hannah. Many gay women fancy that style/look but they are rarely represented in movies.

so simple and yet so moving. i have not seen a lesbian movie like this in years. in a way it resonates with the story of the two old ladies in "if these walls could talk 2", and i could not help but think about gay couples living together and loving each other no matter what and then so ruthlessly separated right at the time when they need each other so much. i hope there comes a time when we no longer have to face it.

..it is true to life, and that is why for me it felt easy and natural to relate with the two women. they are no perfect, but they are so beautiful loving and caring.

one other thing i loved about this movie - it has something in it that allows to make it a theatre play. it is somehow crying out to be staged, and maybe one day it will.

and Sharon, thank you for amazing acting. superb, as always.

This movie is not the box office style, It's so simple ,and image two woman in love from their childhood to death . The start of the film is a beautiful natural scenes that story will happen in them with the brilliant music composed by Martie Marro . You will see a lot of flashbacks trough the story. I think this movie is one of the best movies with lesbian theme. It sketch the dream of a lot lesbians in this world. Maybe in some countries that gay marriage is accepted by their people or government , but in a lot of countries , lesbians dream of moving in with their lover, so it's a huge inspiration for lesbians. If you love somebody , you can relate to the movie very easily. The dialog's were not that strong and some of the time was irrelevant but with the remarkable play of Sharon Gless , Maureen Gallagher and Ann Hagemann was covered. If you are a lesbian , you must see this, because it's remind you what we are fighting for, and show us how silly sometimes we run away from something we love .I really enjoyed watching it and the last time that I cried so hard with a movie with a movie was titanic. It is brilliant.
