    We should have more lesbian films as they are special in every way. Thankfully, we can express our sexuality much more freely today, but in some countries, it is dangerous to "come out" due to fear of violence from family, strangers or the state.

      @bubbly ms116 Bubbly -- I think I get what you're saying. As a lesbian in a country which makes this illegal, just don't hold hands in public, but be yourself when you get home.

    “Tell it to the bees” is my favorite even though I hate the ending.

    The first half of Cracks was beutiful and then it gets... weird. But it's Eva Green so who cares 😅

      Completely agree! I even watched 'Womb' just because she was in it. I'm still not okay...lol

      Good movie...creepy but good. Plus, not gonna lie, I'd watch Eva Green open an envelope tbh 😂

    Have you already watched Aimee and Jaguar, and the secret diaries of miss Anne lister ? They’re not the best ones, but they’re still great

    Preferred the actual book's ending of "Tell it to the Bees." Also the book was not based in Scotland.

    I'll watch anything with Eva Green.
