| | Customer Reviews: Not too bad ... (30 August 2010)I thought it was pretty good but my partner fell asleep twice trying to watch it. Up to individual taste I guess... Terrific movie! (18 July 2010)I enjoyed this movie a lot. The subject is one that is not spoken much about, but it's an important one no less. What happens to aging lesbian couples? How their families approach the issue? In most cases they refuse to validate and legitimize their relationship. I've only seen the subject tackled in a short story of If These Walls Could Talk 2, but it's not something you see very often. The story here is carried masterfully, the acting is great, and the outcome of these family relationships is really encouraging. To see how this young woman comes back in search of her family history, and weaves a beautiful relationship with her great grandmother 's life partner is really touching. Getting to see what this lesbian's couple life was like is a real treat, and it leaves a good taste in your mouth. I fully recommend it. SWEET! (10 July 2010)Loved the movie. I can see it so happening to many of us. I was crying at the end. Good story line I thought. Nice acting by Sharon Gless. Great Love Story (07 June 2010)This was a great love story. It contained one of my fav actress Sharon Gless. Two Women in Love (05 May 2010)"Hannah Free" Two Women in Love Amos Lassen Sharon Gless is Hannah Free who is at an old age home and just a few feet away from her girlfriend for life, Rachel (Maureen Gallagher) who is comatose and under the guard of a homophobic daughter who will not let Hannah visit. Hannah seems to have the ability to speak to Rachel in her fantasy world but is only able to see her physically when her former college student, Greta (Jacqui Jackson), comes to visit. Greta is interested in Hannah's life story and she interviews her for a project she is working on and also sneaks her into see Rachel. The film jumps between hospital scenes and flashbacks of the life of Hannah and Rachel. This is quite the tear-jerker of a film. We learn that Rachel was a widow and her relationship with Hannah included a lot of berating her for wanting to travel and see the world. The film looks at the treatment of the elderly, Christian proselytizing, the difference in generations, and the relations of family members to other gay family members and the issue of life support. Basically what makes the film important is the way it looks at gay love stories especially at the time before death. Here is lesbian love in a universe of homophobes and we know that what we see on film is what is really happening in the world today. It is a soap opera of a film that indeed documents gay love and shows us the hardships it has to deal with. |
