Jasmine W @jasniquejewels Aug 31, 2026 "it’s my girlfriend's brace who awakes me" the storytelling was cute and bittersweet I fell in love for them I live for the poc sapphic representation and I love that this film was dedicated to the director’s first girlfriend which I found to be pretty sweet sobs of happy tears and laughter Randy and Evie where both so fine ya’ll and getting given a poetry book is the gayest thing ever what a lovely lesbian film that’s not sad but sweet.

Taking place in a small town, this is the story of two very different teenage girls from completely different sides of the tracks and different walks of life, who become inexplicably drawn to one another and fall in love. On the one side of the tracks is the 17 year old tomboyish Randal “Randy” Dean, played by Laurel Holloman. She’s in her final year of high school with aspirations of being a musician but also has very little chance to graduate because of her constantly poor grades; especially in Math, and an uncaring attitude. She has only one single friend at school, a fellow LGBT member named Frank; likes to smoke cigarettes and occasionally use recreational drugs; lives in a small house with her aunt Rebecca along with Rebecca’s current girlfriend Vicky and ex-girlfriend Lena who needs a temporary place to stay until she gets on her feet. Randy has lived with them ever since her mother abandoned her to devote her life to other causes like Operation Rescue. Randy also works at a local gas station and is having an illicit affair with a married woman named Wendy, whose husband Ali also works at the same gas station. Then on the other side of the tracks is Evelyn “Evie” Roy Jr, played by Nicole Ari Parker. She’s also in her final year of high school; is about to turn 18; is incredibly beautiful; is part of the popular crowd, although her three closest friends are very snobbish and stuck up; she drives a pristine white Range Rover; has a boyfriend named Hayjay whom she is not in love with; has a very sheltered and inhibited life; and lives in a mansion with her well off, cultured and divorced mother Evelyn, who has a complicated relationship with her remarried ex-husband. One day their paths cross by chance when Evie stops in at the gas station to have her car checked out and Randy speaks to her for the first time. This one innocent interaction sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever. Beginning with them leaving notes for each other at school; They soon start finding themselves spending time together and hanging out a lot while forming a strong bond and deep emotional connection with each other. As time goes on, the two young ladies become inseparable and eventually fall in love with each other despite knowing and having to face the protests, hardships and objections of the people around them. Does everything work out for the two young lovers; or does fate end up pulling them apart by happenstance? Well that is just something you will have to find out for yourself. Film critic Roger Ebert gave this film three out of four stars, calling it a warm-hearted, funny and involving film and that the two leads are well cast. I give this film a solid 20 rating with five stars and consider it a must watch guilty pleasure film. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

See more Jul 27, 2024 There are not many lesbian movies out there that aren’t just about sex and/or depressing drama in which they either both die, or break up in the end. This is one of those rare, beautiful gems in which it’s just a sweet, adorable, romantic love story between two girls. The chemistry between the two girls is astounding, throughout the whole movie they were so adorable, nervous, and giggly with each other. It’s a very sweet, and easy to watch film, in which it also has an amazing, and empowering ending. I am a lesbian myself, and I absolutely adore this movie, watch it! ❤️ See more Eddie B @Eddee15 May 27, 2023 I loved it. Fresh. Joyful.
