REVOIR JULIE (Julie and Me) Canada 1998 - Lesbian Interest Movie

Revoir Julie also known as Julie and Me is a lesbian themed movie set in Canada and released in 1998. The film was written and directed by Jeanne Crépeau and while it is more than 20 years old its subject matter is timeless in that it deals with the difficulty of deciphering the boundaries between friendship and attraction in the world of women who love women.

Revoir Julie tracks the love story between Julie and Juliet who meet again after 15 years of not seeing each other only to find that the spark that once existed between them is still very much alive if they find the courage to act on it. This is a slow burn movie as we witness the walls that divide the women break down so that their relationship can blossom.

Revoir Julie is an enjoyable movie with some pretty cute scenes between the lovers along with intelligent dialogue and a pretty location making it still a good watch especially for the more mature lesbian who is likely to relate closely to the difficulties of coming out in the 1990's.

SEEKING SIMONE (2009) - Lesbian Web Series from Canada

Seeking Simone (2009) (IMDb 6.1) is lesbian web series set in Toronto, Canada in which slightly awkward Simone navigates the world of online lesbian dating with the help of her Vancouver-based friend Audrey. Over the course of the two seasons (10 episodes in total) Simone somewhat reluctantly goes on a variety of dates which have some unexpected comic outcomes. Online dating has never been so gay is the tagline here. 

Look out for Zoie Palmer of Lost Girl, Dark Matter, Winona Earp and Pure fame who makes an all too brief appearance as Rebecca, Simone's ex-girlfriend in Episode 1. The Seeking Simone web series stars its co-creator Renée Olbert as Simone and Anna Chatterton as Audrey. The web series was co-created and written by Rosemary Rowe.

This quirky web series was an early forerunner of the web series genre on YouTube. While uneven in places and slightly dated due to the advent of dating apps it is an enjoyable watch.
