Pride Month may pass by swiftly but our love for women will never stop
These days, I’m glad that lgbtq+ shows, movies, and cartoons are coming out of the surface, and getting mainstream, but we can’t deny that some of these contents oversexualize to the point that it's more like *softporn* than the good old standard movie, them, especially with new topics. But no need to worry, cause you can count on this random blogger to give you 6 feel-good movies that your 15-year-old closeted self, craved and needed.
*Movies are arranged from oldest to latest*
D.E.B.S.(2004)
Directed by: Angela Robinson
Cast:
Jordana Brewster
Sara Foster
Meagan Good
Sara Foster
Devon Aoki
Synopsis:
A literal WLW movie disguised as a spy-action one, a model student/special spy cadet who fell in love with her agency’s biggest enemy.
Review:
Contrary to what the trailer of this movie shows, the plot is merely SAPPHIC that's right, induced with some Charlie’s Angels flavor but less of action scenes that would make you lift your butt off your chair, make it seem like the spy thingy isn’t really the point of the movie. Reasons to watch, it's sweet, funny, and Jordana Brewster!
Rate: 9/10
Imagine Me & You(2005)
Directed by: Ol Parker
Cast:
Piper Perabo
Lena Headey
Matthew Goode
Synopsis:
The newlywed bride was unfortunately fortunate to fall for the florists of her own wedding.
Review:
Although based on my summary it may look heavy and toxic, well it's not! not at all. the man was great. It's sweet and for me, it's kind of unrealistic with the "love at first sight" concept, but if you will not overthink too much and enjoy it, it's DA BUH EST And there's Piper Perabo! So what more can I say?
Rate: 8.5/10
Booksmart (2019)
Directed by: Olivia Wilde
Cast:
Kaitlyn Dever
Beanie Feldstein
Diana Silvers
Lisa Kudrow
Synopsis:
It is of Age story where the valedictorian and the salutatorian best spend a night before graduation to make up for the “fun” they failed to experience while in high school.
Review:
This movie is quirky and funny, the plot is smooth, the characters are relatable (at least for me) and sapphic-wise, it is focused more on the night and the 2 best friends, but it is a representation of awkward lesbians out there! raise your hands! Amy played by Kaitlyn Dever, who is the salutatorian, and the gay best friend makes the most of the night by “interacting” with the ladies while being her awkward and funny self.
Rate:
8.5/10
Happiest Season(2020)
Directed by: Clea Duvall
Cast:
Kirsten Stewart
Mackenzie Davis
Daniel Levy
Aubrey Plaza
Synopsis:
“The film follows a woman who struggles to come out to her conservative parents while she and her girlfriend visit them during Christmas. DuVall has said the film is a semi-autobiographical take on her own experiences with her family.” - Wikipedia
Review:
A Holiday rom-com movie! We have come to this day and age where we have Christmas movies with lesbian representation! The one out of 2 in the list that still sees being gay as taboo but nonetheless, it is a Christmas movie while at the same time discussing the topic of being gay and the pressure of being perfect is wonderfully done. definitely would watch this every Christmas day, though not with my parents lol.
Rate: 9/10
The Prom Netflix & Broadway
Synopsis:
Down-on-their-luck Broadway stars shake up a small Indiana town as they rally behind a teen who wants to go to the prom with her girlfriend. - Google
The Prom was first played on Broadway and the movie was based on it.
*The Prom Netflix
Directed by: Ryan Murphy
Cast:
Meryl Streep
Nicole Kidman
James Corden
Andrew Rannells
Jo Ellen Pellman
Ariana DeBose
Review:
There's not much of a difference between the story of the two, but personally, I think the movie focused more on the famous actors involved, who are also the "Broadway actors" in the movie, in the story than the two teenage lovers against the world that the movie aims to represent and present. As seen on the posters, the main characters are basically shoved in the background. Regardless of that, it's B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. and it made me cry, like gallons of tears.
*The Prom Broadway
Directed by: Casey Nicholaw
Cast:
Caitlin Kinnunen Isabelle McCalla
Beth Leavel
Brooks Ashmanskas
Christopher Sieber
Angie Schworer
Review:
I unfortunately never got the chance to watch this live but I watched the show on a YouTube video it's their final show so it was really surreal and emotional I guess, but the casts were superb especially the main characters (Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabella McCalla) who are oozing with chemistry that it's hard not to ship them past their characters, vocals are on point, the other actors were perfect and funny and overall made me interested in Broadway.
Both the movie and Broadway have a special place in my heart.
Rate: 15/10
My First Summer(2020)
Directed by: Katie Found
Cast:
Maiah Stewardson
Markella Kavenagh
Synopsis:
Isolated on a remote property, 16-year-old Claudia finds her sheltered world transformed when spirited teenager Grace appears in her garden, and the pair find a connection they both need.
Review:
If yellow is an adjective, that would be the best word to describe it. It is beautiful and quiet, at the same time, you can feel the raging sparking and building fire between them.
it shows teenage first love and how sometimes we can be stupid and do some stupid things for love. the teenage mold of the characters was spot-on and perfectly sculpted. I can say that this is one of the new movies that could legit give me some butterflies in my stomach.
Rate: 100/10
THATS IT FOLKS!
SPOILER ALERT:
ALL OF THEM END IN A HAPPY ENDING :>
