Camp Belvidere

Nicely crafted short film telling a story of self-acceptance, love, passion and longing between two women. I loved the scenes and music. It's difficult to present the pace of an evolving love story in a short film. Rose is a strong young lady who definitely knows what she wants. Rose's determination questions and challenges Gin's naturally dominant role as the older and more experienced character. The two ladies' performances were convincing and the chemistry was definitely there. Love scenes were superbly shot.

It's a pity this is only a short film. Astrid should keep on telling stories of lesbian love, this piece was an excellent one.

Or female(?) - but surely no pun intended. If you are open minded (and you really should be, considering this depicts same sex/gender love), you will cherish the theme of the movie - and how troubled the characters are. An impulsive act starts it all - love can not be denied - well to one self that is. You should of course get consent from the other individual.

Some may have issues that this does not depict the love act in an explicit manner - on the other hand, I watched this on Youtube and there might be some version with at least some nudity to it. That said, this should not be the main reason you are watching this. There are other sites that will .. satisfy any of those needs. This is more about the struggle ... and the love that is a struggle in our society .. and in the minds of our characters. Can you dig it.

I can see the potential in Astrid Ovalles work here (certainly as an actor), but the trailer is sadly better than the film.

There are some stylish shots, but there are issues with story telling and a lack of context generally. Also, this film isn't believably set in the 50s.

This film is too reliant on minimal dialogue - which usually would be a plus, but in this case due to a lack of any other method of story telling (montage, cutaways, establishing shots, tertiary characters) there's little to go on - thus it's all very 2d and I didn't buy into the romance.

With more development, and clearer direction (particularly with the younger actor who darted out of frame too much, made 20C gestures and expressions and failed to embody a young woman of that decade), this could be a story worth telling.

Potential, yet to be realised.

Really liked how the story slowly progressed, the actresses were on point at playing lovers, it was a proper 50 shades of Grey lemme tell ya! Seriously though, it felt like I was watching an award winning short film! 8/10 I give this short lesbian film!

Such a beautiful movie. Soundtrack so good. Plot so great. Choreography beautiful.
