Forbidden Love-A quirkish must view
If you are gay or lesbian, young or old, this is a must see movie. If You are older than 45 than you may remember some of the stylin going on. If you are younger than you should be able to appreciate a stroll down memory lane of lesbian and gay culture. A MUST SEE. I enjoyed it very much.

Chapeau!
A must see movie for all gay people and others....

This is an 'excellent' documentary about how it was to be lesbian in the 50's and 60's. These women are facinating and they sure got my attention all the way. It really makes you realise how easy we have it these days...

All the ladies in the movie are great and all have quite different and interesting stories to tell. The minie movie is a good addition, but the magic would still be there without it.

In my opinion, this is on top of my list of Gay movies, however, it would be great if they would get it out on DVD!

Cheers

Your best buy this year.....
This is a wonderful, insightful, creative documentary that is without equal. It's a must see for all young lesbians! And anyone interested in 'The love that dare not speak it's name'.

Comprised of a series of interviews with lesbians who came out in the 50's and 60's, linked together by a 'dime store novel' style drama that ends the right way. The women interviewed speak with candour, humour and sometimes sadness about their lives in a world that could barely tolerate the independent woman let alone lesbians. Buy it you won't regret it.

Don't Let the Cover Fool You
I was very disappointed in this film. I did not realize when I purchased it that it was a documentary. The whole film revolved around aging lesbians and what they went through in the 50's and 60's. Would of been much more entertaining if most of the women interviewed weren't mostly butch. Actual footage of that by-gone era with a broader range of women would have been welcomed and preferred. The mini scenes with the two young women were the only interesting part of this film and probably comprised 5 minutes total. I applaud all of the women that have paved the way and made life easier for todays lesbians. However, the movie portrayed these older women with a lot of hard past relationsips, which was a bit depressing for my taste.

Movie magic
The people are magical, and the way it's put together adds another layer of magic. Sure, you learn a little something about one of the long-ago Lesbian subcultures, but more to the point, you get a new picture of what it means to be an Earthling. A must see. ... Read more

This 1987 Canadian offering based on a true story seeks to offend and to provoke its audience as it dissects the sordid last days of a middle-aged feminist bent on self-destruction. Writer-director Jackie Burroughs plays Marsie Holder, a woman wasting away in Mexico and engaging in sexual trysts with the men she encounters. Bouts of alcoholism and illness shape her days and anonymous sexual encounters frame her nights. Through it all she analyzes her place in the world and pontificates on the role of women through her voluminous correspondence, even as she wastes away in the Acapulco sun and slides downward into an eventually fatal abyss. Shot in a harsh verité style, the film is unapologetic in its assessment of the promiscuous and reckless author, while still showcasing her wry and caustic take on the battle of the sexes. A controversial offering at the Toronto Film Festival, A Winter Tan is both a challenging polemic and an unblinking character study. --Robert Lane ... Read more
