“All About E”

Posted August 25, 2023 by HoneycreeperBird Lesbian in Lesbians

I just watched this gem of a movie and I just HAD to rave about it here!

Where has this movie been all my life? There’s drama, there’s romance, nobody dies, a very satisfying sex scene (so good I had to watch it TWICE!) and the lesbians have a happy ending.

Goodness I wish there were more movies like that out there!

Has anyone else seen it?

EDIT: I think I’m gonna do like a daily movie review type deal of the miscellaneous lesbian films I’ve been finding. Is there interest there if I do that?

I have high standards for lesbian movies. I won’t watch lesbian movies if they even hint of male gaze, or are otherwise insufferable in writing in some way.

Examples: I tried watching three other lesbian movies to see if they were any good and they fell flat to me in the first ten minutes, so I turned them off. They were:

—Looking for Her - seemed like a good plot to begin with, but the one lead’s roommate appears to be of the gender mafia.

—Lez Bomb - irritating plot conflict that revolves around a male lead refusing to respect boundaries.

—Christmas at the Ranch - Hallmark style writing that wrote the more masculine lesbian lead’s mannerisms as a stereotypical male lead.

So no trans characters to put up with?

Nope, all clear! However, there's slight homoerotic tension/a moment between Fiyero and one of Glinda's male friends (essentially, he's fawning after him in a comedic scene. It's honestly quite funny, lol).

It might be the kind of magical experience millions of children in the 20th center remember with the Wizard of Oz. Now we have two "favorite movies" based on a classic feminist story, with great music.

I saw it yesterday and agree 100%. You expressed my experience perfectly.

I wanted to watch it again immediately after.

I'm seeing it tomorrow. I can't wait! I remember in like 2008 they said the movie would come out in 2016 and it felt so far away to little me. Now it's almost 2025.

I was reluctant to see it because I felt like splitting it into two movies was a cynical cash grab. But I've changed my mind after seeing clips of the film/songs online. Grande and Erivo really are amazing in this movie. I doubt I'll see it in cinema (two hours with no intermission is too much for me LOL). But I'll totally buy it or watch it on streaming

o/Lesbians is a space for lesbians to connect, thrive, and build a genuine lesbian community. We define lesbianism as homosexuality; a woman’s exclusive same-sex attraction to other women. Participation by non-lesbians in this circle is not allowed.

Along with our rules, we enforce the sitewide rules and guidelines.

No participation by people who are not both female and exclusively same sex attracted. Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No slurs or pejoratives. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' used to refer to other women are considered slurs. Name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will also not be tolerated.
No bullying/ganging up on people. If the content is rule-breaking, report it instead of piling on.
Refrain from overgeneralizing your own experience onto others, or implying that what was true for you is necessarily true for all lesbians.
No criticism of sexual boundaries or relationship boundaries.
No content questioning one's lesbian orientation. Posts like 'When did you know?' are okay, but posts like 'What am I?' are not. We cannot tell you what you are. Similarly, refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content lacking a lesbian focus will be removed.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No pornography. NSFW posts must be marked as such.
No selfies or other sharing of personal identifying information; no spam; and no self-promotion.
No using the exclusivity of the circle in bad faith towards/about the rest of the site, its content, or other users, who cannot respond if they've been misunderstood or misrepresented.
