You, Me and Him (2017)
A movie with wit, charm and honesty
I loved it! Absolutely fabulous!
I mean I finished the film thrilled (and dabbing my eyes) because it was way better than my expectations. I think it's one of the best romantic comedies that I've seen in a long time. It's so funny yet so sad, just like life! It's so good to watch something that feels raw and honest and yet still makes you giggle. There was so much vulnerability to the script. This is where cinema should go.
I'm so glad that it was made in the UK because the US would have drowned out so much of the sincerity. The film was so, so good. I connected with every character and fell in love with them all. I was there and felt the pain, happiness, and love.
It's fantastic to see a lesbian relationship not treated with sugar-coated, kid gloves, but like a real, living and breathing human relationship - and all the crap that comes with that. Olivia and Alex have terrific chemistry which is undeniable. David Tennant needs to do more comedy.
I laughed, I cried... it moved me! Ten stars!
Imagine Me & You (2005)
Meh
Sadly a little too rom com for me. I believed the storyline but it was all a bit white-washed and sugar coated and minus the real depth that some classic rom coms can give you. Life isn't lived on the sugar puff that this film appears to be. Still, great to see a lesbian couple portrayed on screen, albeit in a slightly fluffy unrealistic world.
The Kids Are All Right (2010)
A funny look at a serious situation
I know I'm late to the party here but I finally got round to watching this witty, sensitive film and I was not disappointed. Nuanced performances, smart dialogue, a gorgeous setting, it was such an enjoyable watch. I love to see the lesbian relationship (in all its many guises) on screen - more please!
