Girls on Film

I see the reviews, but honestly I don't get it.

First I expected a little build up before Rain moved into Blakes house, but literally first couple minutes Rain gets evicted and moves in. No explanation as to where and how Rain found the house. The description tells you more than the entire movie does.

2nd the acting isn't that best. I read about how great the writing was but it really wasn't.

3rd The kissing between the two females goes with the bad acting. They were like 2 very straight girls that do not want to kiss. Any chemistry you think they had disappeared once they started kissing. Good kissing scenes can save bad acting because you believe they are really into each other. The kissing as so bad it almost made me turn it off. It ruined alot for me.

Both woman are incredibly beautiful and theres potential for them to do great things, but the acting and believability was missing for me.

Girls on Film is a character study of two women who enter into a tumultuous lesbian relationship. Both Dare Taylor as "Rain" and Willow Grey as "Blake" are fantastic in their roles and they deliver some powerful moments throughout. "Rain" is the beautiful girl next door type who dives head first into her first same sex relationship and "Blake" is the striking, brooding, manipulative, rich girl who seduces Rain into her dark world. Rain and Blake are so different but share so many subtle commonalities as they navigate their love for each other amidst this dysfunction. The writing and dialogue is on point. Written and directed by Robin Bain of the Girl Lost movies fame (which I'm a super fan of), Girls on Film is a really interesting follow-up to the Girl Lost movies with an intriguing, nuanced and unique LGBT storyline and some great performances and moments.

Girls on Film is a beautifully written story of two lost young women, Rain and Blake. They find each other through not so unusual means and connect through a commonality of deep loss in their lives. We watch the women go through a myriad of ups and downs in their relationship. It's intense but relatable. Most of us have had broken relationships with broken people and that's exactly what this is. The acting was absolutely on point from both of the leads. The director really brought this story to life and I felt like a fly on the wall watching the love between Rain and Blake blossom and then... (no spoilers). The backdrop of Palm Springs was also really great and one that we don't get to see much, at least I haven't. It was stunning. Truly, such a good movie.

This movie does not know what it wants to be. On one hand this is sort of romantic drama, but sometimes it wants to be a erotic thriller, or perhaps a character study, or perhaps a LGBTQ friendly movie just because. This movie should have picked one, preferably the erotic thriller path and it would have been so much better.

Another thing that bothers are the actresses. Neither one is bad, but neither one is very good either. And when they have zero chemistry it all just falls flat. The awkward kissing and "oh no, I touched a boob" look is about as sexy as watching paint dry.

The dialogue is subpar and the directing meh. I could go on and pick apart more of the movie, but if all you want to see is two beautiful girls pretending to be into each other I guess this is alright.

I fund this very boring, mainly because the movie never finds its path and sticks to it. 3/10 and impossible to recommend. There are far better acted and scripted porn to watch if you want.

I wont lie, I thought it was a simple skin flick. I almost turned it off when I seen I was wrong. Glad I didnt. And while there was plenty of skin, there was a much deeper and sadly all to familiar dark undertone that was really the point. Drugs and addiction are in so many places, and this just exhibited the fact that money doesnt buy happiness or freedom from demons. I thought Willow Grey gave a great and very believable performance as Blake. Her character was the best and one I could relate to the most. She has a bright future on screen in my opinion. Not a movie I want to watch repeatedly, but if I came across it again in the future id be willing to see it again.
