An art film set in a dark reality so poignant that there were times I had to look away. To clarify, There was one scene in particular that was extremely painful to watch because I could see the true agony in the actresses eyes. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The scene I'm referring to is one in which the actress who plays Rain is taken advantage of by a man in a hotel in such a cruel, heartless way that my heart hurt for her. Tremendous work from all involved. I've seen director Robin Bain's previous Girl Lost films which brought me to this one and it did not disappoint. Dark, raw, intense and completely devastating.

Girls on Film is a character study of two women who enter into a tumultuous lesbian relationship. Both Dare Taylor as "Rain" and Willow Grey as "Blake" are fantastic in their roles and they deliver some powerful moments throughout. "Rain" is the beautiful girl next door type who dives head first into her first same sex relationship and "Blake" is the striking, brooding, manipulative, rich girl who seduces Rain into her dark world. Rain and Blake are so different but share so many subtle commonalities as they navigate their love for each other amidst this dysfunction. The writing and dialogue is on point. Written and directed by Robin Bain of the Girl Lost movies fame (which I'm a super fan of), Girls on Film is a really interesting follow-up to the Girl Lost movies with an intriguing, nuanced and unique LGBT storyline and some great performances and moments.

Calling this movie sexy is actually counterintuitive. It is sexy, but it is so much more and probably one of the best LGBTQ /lesbian romance stories I've ever seen. We don't often get treated to a love story that builds from the ground up like this. I felt the tension and love between the characters and was captivated by what might happen next between them. From the moment they locked eyes when they first meet next to Blake's fabulous pool until the last moments of the film. It is a very honest look into a queer love story between two women. I'm going to spread the word in the queer community. It's a much watch.
