You Can Live Forever

The film dragged a bit at the beginning, and the slow development also bothered me a bit. One can say that the long development built up good tension and not everything was revealed straight away. I found the story of the two women just as interesting and I think it's not covered enough in films. The spycy parts were well balanced and I liked the acting characters. Although some actors' characters came across as more real than others. In my opinion the film deserves 7/10 stars. Only seven because I was missing some poetry, but that's a matter of taste. All in all a good film that should get more attention.

For me this is a great movie acting of both girls is amazing and the tension between them is amazing how they met how they develop feelings for each others is shown beautifully storyline is not we we expect it to be but overall the movie is great and worth watching🌟

The movie started and took top gear within matter of minutes. I felt few scenes were just for the sake, but that's okay. Eventually, all that hurry was to get straight to one point: the chemistry between the two leads.

Frankly, there was nothing new in this movie - be it storyline or the social boundaries against a critical subject - we have all seen tons of such stuff before and maybe watch more in coming time.

However that's what worked: the girls were sweet, they acted well, i felt that the evolving chemistry between them was realistic, and at last, an obvious emotional detour was bound to happen which held weight. I rate this movie 7/10.

One time watchable.

So clichéd but still really good.

Hurts my heartstrings a little bit. Hate the way it ended, leaves it wide open for a part two.

Which I kinda hope there is, its not over for Jamie and Marike. There's mote stories to tell.

Hiding in a shell of a false person, I couldn't begin to imagine how many people live a life that isn't the real truth. Their, real truth.

It's sad, yet true, harsh and unfair... The writers did an amazing job, showing the brutality of loving another woman, all the while pretending you don't.

Grateful to not have to experience a shunning in real life for leaping out of my closet.

The Canadian film You Can Live Forever was co-written and co-directed directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky.

Anwen O'Driscoll portrays Jaime, a teenager who is sent to live with her aunt after her father's death. Her aunt and uncle are Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jaime develops a romantic relationship with Marike (June Laporte). Marike is also part of the Jehovah's Witness community. It's not a community that accepts lesbian love, and the path forward isn't easy.

This is an extraordinary film. The acting is excellent and the plot is believable. The movie has a very strong IMDb rating of 7.5. I thought that it was even better than that, and rated it 9.

We saw this movie as part of Rochester's outstanding ImageOut LGBTQ film festival.
