ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

darth-tobe What this film does have going for it is two very pretty female leads and a quite erotic love scene between them, which also both feature prominently on the cover. The film itself breezes through this in the first five minutes. Then there's a brief montage of relationship and the viewer gets dumped in the middle of *something* going on. What follows is a series of overacted confrontations between the girls in which they grimace and cry a lot and give the viewer extremely vague exposition. A little more context would have been nice, like who the characters are and why the viewer should care about them. All this is annoyingly intercut with shots of extras doing stuff, fragments of irrelevant dialogue - and bits of a subplot between two other characters that is completely redundant. The director (who also played the director in the film) seems to have self-importantly shoehorned herself into nearly every scene. These other bits then feel like mere padding, as if during pre-production it turned out that writing the real meat of the script, giving the characters context and some genuine conflict or tension, was really, really hard. I find that a shame because show business with its egocentric personas, its gossip and also prejudice should have provided a dramatic enough setting for an emotional story about a lesbian relationship between actresses. I've seen the film described as slow but I feel that word does not capture my feeling. There is slow and then there is drawn out. Room in Rome was slow but offered much more in terms of both eroticism and character focus. Mind you, making an 80 minute film feel drawn out is an achievement in itself. For a real relationship drama, lesbian or otherwise, you'll need to look elsewhere.

jason_manshad most lesbian romance movies tend to focus on just the sexual aspect of the story and disregard the real emotional and human aspect.Anatomy is able to avoid that predictability by instead pitting two women with negativity with regards to each other and shows how despite their indifference and anger at each other, the feelings are still real and still there. despite taking place in less than a day, its portrays the angry, resentment, and passion between the two characters surprisingly well. and after showing all the anger and hate, it also gives the audiences a glimpse into the love that exists underneath it all in the ending sex scene.it also devotes the movie to the post-breakup phase, a time that is generally not given this much emphasis in romance movies and thereby allows the movie to have a sense of originality to it.

musical_lover1986 This movie is so powerful. If you are a person that has been abandoned by someone you loved, who you thought loved you, without explanation, this movie will have an affect on you. Maybe you are the person who did the abandoning. You can identify with one, if not both, of these women. Some have complained about it being slow or no plot. I will say, you must have some depth to you to enjoy this film. It has very quiet moments, but that is where the intensity lies. These quiet moments are where you are going to feel and remember your old wounds. I have watched this movie several times since the first time, and it sticks with me for hours afterwards. Not many movies these days that have that effect. The two lead actresses did such a good job with their roles. I cared so much about Mal & Zoe by the end. If you are able to watch a movie without aliens/disasters/high speed car crashes, please give this movie a chance. xoxo

laz000 I wish I could express like others before, what an amazing film this is. I don't think I've been so happily drawn into the maelstrom of another's love relationship since "Blue is the warmest color".This story of Zoe and Mal is unstructured, raw, and very real. Writer, and Director Marina Rice Bader (who also stars as director of a fictional scene re-shooting) creates an amazing story. Eliciting in my opinion, award worthy performances from Sharon Hinnendael and Jill Evyn.While I can see where some may despair over a perceived lack of plot. I see this film however, as an exquisite exposition of the love between two people.
