The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love

I don't understand why is its IMDb mark so low! I mean it is a great film, definitely my favourite lesbian movies so far. The main Character Randy and Evie, are both so beautiful. Especially Laurel Holloman, she looks extremely cute in that short red haircut. Anyway, their acting was really good and they were really into the lesbian theme. I was grinning and feel so happy about them as I watched... (but turned out they are both married, to male.. yes, disappointing) Maybe my English is not that good I didn't feel the script was cheesy or what. And many of the scenes that just made me these shocks in hearts! The emotions were so strong that I actually felt my heart aching, cramping a bit! This is my first film that I said to myself that "I will definitely watch this again!" right after I finished it! Totally worth to see. Ahh gosh I dream about it at night and think about it during all day. They are so adorable.

I'm surprised to find so many reviewers throwing invectives such as "amateurish" or "boring" or "indy"(though it is) at this film. From the interesting camera angles (opening sequence) to the lockers on-high, to the very tastefully done bedroom montage with the girl-on-girl action in nearly black and white with stunning shadows (more like a bijou pictorial strung artfully together on film), I credit the director with pulling together what could have been a huge mess of a movie...except it's well-thought out and only strays when delving into trite stereotypes (e.g., the vampy wife in the convertible; the too-gay high school geek friend, the mother who catches the two girls in her bed -- this is hopelessly unoriginal and predictable from the start). Otherwise, I didn't find the acting amateurish and found the girls' relationship believable and authentic.

I really enjoyed this movie. Back in 1999 I wasn't even allowed to watch movies like this... I thought it was beautiful. I enjoyed both the main characters. I noticed one of the main characters is also a main character on the Showtime show called The L Word. A very beautiful coming-of-age story deals with losing friendships as gaining them and being accepted for who you are. They should make more movies like this today.

It's 6 am and I wasn't in the mood for TV. I wanted to go back to sleep and the movie seemed like a good thing to help. After the first thirty minutes however; I realized that I was going to watch the movie until the end. The two lead girls had a great chemistry. I say that because I was also involved in an interracial lesbian relationship and they had the same nervous, intense and curious romance that I had. Those two really played out their roles well and the lackluster awkwardness of the story and the other characters didn't disturb their grove. I enjoyed it and recommend it for any young girls or boys that may have some doubts in their sexuality.

Unfortunately, this freshman effort from writer/director Maria Maggenti and her two lead actresses reeks of amateurism. Littered with painful dialogue and clunky performances, "Two Girls in Love" is implausible and inauthentic to the point of embarrassment. For a more believable (as well as more intelligent and erotic) teen lesbian love story, check out the understated and off-beat BBC production, "My Summer of Love" (2004). A similarly themed film that's downright hilarious – and with a killer score to boot -- "But I'm A Cheerleader" (1999) is a gem. From the same year, "Better Than Chocolate" has it all – humor, originality, plot, dialogue, performances, and sensuality. The only incredible thing about "Two Girls in Love" is that it got released in the first place, as without its lesbian twist it's little more than a third-rate Romeo and Juliet tale.

i adored this film, although my opinion may be biased as the film struck a chord with me personally. it struck a chord with me mainly because i first saw the movie around the time that i was becoming aware of my own sexuality/lesbianism. however, that's beside the point. all adoration aside, i do agree that the movie was not two-thumbs-up-worthy or academy award material. but, this was an independent movie, and as such i think it's important to appreciate that all the participants in the film worked for free. i think the film beautifully portrays the beauty of falling in love. perhaps the movie is, at times, awkward, but isn't falling in love sometimes awkward as well? in saying that, the film is real, engaging, sweet, and funny. my favourite lesbian movie!
