AMMONITE (2020) - Lesbian Interest Film - Mary and Charlotte

Mary and Charlotte

Ammonite (2020) is a lesbian interest film (IMDb 6.7) set in Southern England in the 1840's (Lyme Regis) that tells of the love story between Mary Anning and Charlotte Murchison, real life people who lived in the 19th century.  While Mary and Charlotte were known to be friends and had a close relationship, there is however, no evidence that they were lovers in real life.

In Ammonite the plot revolves around Mary (Kate Winslet), a fossil hunter and early paleontologist who ekes out her living selling marine fossils to tourists in order to support herself and her ailing mother Molly (Gemma Jones).

Mary and Charlotte Collecting Fossils on the Beach

When Mary receives an offer to host Charlotte (Saoirse Ronan), the wife of a wealthy man while she recuperates by the sea Mary cannot turn it down. Initially Mary and Charlotte clash but over time they begin to forge an intense bond despite their differences in class and personalities. 

Mary and Charlotte Cleaning Fossils

Mary and Charlotte Fall in Love in Ammonite (2020)

In the end Mary and Charlotte are compelled to determine the true nature of their relationship and as such the film is worth the watch for those interested in lesbian interest movies. 

Mary and Charlotte Kiss in Ammonite (2020)

The mood of Ammonite is grounded in stark virtually monochromatic landscapes and stoicism. So much meaning in the film is conveyed in subtext and body language. While Ammonite has many similarities with the film Portrait of a Lady on Fire they are very different movies in tone and treatment. You be the judge which you prefer the most.

All About E (2015) - Lesbian Interest Movie (Australia)

E and Trish

All About E (2015), is a lesbian film, set in Sydney, Australia and the outback of NSW and tells the story of Elmira and Trish who despite their love for each other are divided by values, loyalties and maturity.

E and Trish initially happy together in their relationship

E short for Elmira is a talented musician with a Lebanese ethnic background who surprises her partner Trish when she forsakes the clarinet to become a DJ in a nightclub. Elmira then lies to her mother about the nature of her relationship with Trish leaving Trish reeling. When Trish calls her out on her lack of courage to come out to her family they argue and separate

E and Trish argue about E's unwillingness to come out

Several days later Trish calls into their flat to find Elmira in bed with someone else. Trish handles this scene with dignity leaving with the parting shot that "it's only been three days" and their relationship "must have been really special."

Trish catches E cheating. The relationship "must have been really special"

Fast forward a year in the future Elmira is still working as a DJ in the nightclub overseen by the bigoted and unforgiving Johnny. She has a lot of meaningless liaisons with women but nothing can erase the memory of Trish from her mind.

E as DJ dressed as a matador 

When Elmira and gay pal Matt inadvertently find a stash of cash belonging to Johnny they end up on the run and arrive unannounced at Trish's sheep station in the hope that Trish will put them up. Trish takes them in for a few days but demands after that they move on with their "damn money."

E and gay pal Matt take a road trip and end up at Trish's place 

Mandahla Rose as E mending fences  

Julia Billington as Trish can handle herself including driving the tractor 

As the days pass Elmira and Trish reconnect and even spend a night together making love. In the morning though their differences reemerge and it looks like the distance between them is too great.

E and Trish's intimate reconnection 

Then Johnny shows up unexpectedly and the group hide out in an old farm building thinking they will be safe from him there. However Johnny tracks them down and he and E have a show down where Elmira holds a gun to his head when he threatens Trish with a knife.

E says "hurt Trish and I'll blow your brains out"

Elmira threatens to kill Johnny if he hurts Trish and Johnny backs down thus providing the opportunity for them to make a run for it. Fortunately Trish has arranged for her friend Bev to fly Elmira and Matt to safety and she shows up just in the knick of time.

E and Trish get their happy ending, "I only want to be with you."

Throughout the film Matt makes reference to Elmira's selfishness. At the end, however, we see her rescue Trish's dog and give the money back to Johnny thus proving that through this experience she has changed. She tells Trish she doesn't want the money after all and all she has ever wanted is to be with her.

E and Trish who are in love cuddle in the All About E (2015) movie

All About E has some plot twists that don't stand up to too much scrutiny. The acting is at times forced however Mandahla Rose who plays Elmira is endearing. Julie Billington (Starting from Now) as Trish with her steady pragmatic approach to life provides a rudder for the movie. Matt also gives a winning performance as Elmira's gay friend and confidente even if his Irish accent is not always true.

Matt says "It seems to me you're in with a chance if you don't blow it."

As a lesbian movie All About E is a watchable film with some very relevant lesbian interest themes and a happy ending even if it does get a bit bogged down here and there in the telling. It has some magical moments and strong scenes between Trish and Elmira. The lengthy love scene is particularly well choreographed and not to be missed.

E and Trish share the love of music in this intimate moment

I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT (2008) - Lesbian Interest Movie (UK)

Tala and Leyla

I Can't Think Straight (2008), is a British lesbian interest film, (IMDb 6.5) about a young London-based Jordanian-Christian woman Tala who although engaged to be married falls for her best friend's girlfriend Leyla. Tala, an heiress and businesswoman in her own right, knows that her preference is for women but to keep her family happy has had several near attempts at walking down the aisle with a man. In the end, and much to her family's frustration, Tala always finds a reason not to commit and pulls the plug at the last minute. She does not tell her family the real reason which of course is that she cannot find what she is looking for in a relationship with a man.

Leyla, on the other hand, has limited dating experience and is a little naive. She is Muslim, lives a sheltered existence at home with her parents, works in her family business and is writing her first novel. She has never had a relationship with a woman but her CD and book collection give some indication of her deeper but as yet unawakened sapphic desires.

The romance for this couple is a slow burn. On meeting they clash over views on religion however by the time they have played tennis the next day it is clear that they are already well on the way to falling in love. They subsequently spend a weekend in Oxford together where they have the opportunity to spend the evening alone and before they know it they are dancing sensually with each other and eventually sleep together.

Leyla: I want to be with someone who, ten years from now, still makes my heart jump when I hear her key in the door. And that someone is you.
Leyla: Have you ever done this before?
Tala: Slept with a woman while my fiance makes wedding plans? Nope, never done that before.

However, once the night is over, reality bites and both lovers come back to earth with a thud as they consider the practicality of being together as a couple. Lesbianism is frowned on in their respective cultures and each woman is already laboring under the pressure of strong family expectations. Tala's mother who in someways embodies the cultural constraints on the couple, ups the ante by encouraging Tala's fiance to fly in for a visit forcing Tala to make a decision about coming out to her parents.

Tala's poem to Leyla
“Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again.
Slow droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress.
At dawn, I overflow with thoughts of us
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite.
Love cannot be contained, the neat packaging of desire
Splits asunder, spilling crimson through my days.
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning,
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.”
Shamim Sarif

Although not always a satisfying watch I Can't Think Straight is a romantic comedy at heart and delivers with some funny moments. Both lead actresses Lisa Ray as Tala and Sheetal Sheth as Leyla give entertaining and competent performances. It is the second pairing as they also appeared in The World Unseen together. The director of I Can't Think Straight Shamin Sarif adapts her own novel here along with the help of co-writer Kelly Moss to produce a watchable and entertaining film.

WILD NIGHTS WITH EMILY (2018) - Lesbian Interest Film (USA)

Emily and Susan

Wild Nights with Emily (2018), is a lesbian interest film, about the enduring love story between Emily Dickinson, the iconic American poet and her brother's wife Susan. The film focuses on the relationship between Emily and Susan from girlhood to Emily's death in 1886. We see love blossom between the couple from a few stolen kisses as girls to a mature relationship full of passion, physical intimacy and connection.

Set in the mid 19th century the film bucks the notion that Emily was completely reclusive instead we are shown an Emily who bakes gingerbread for local children, gardens and lives a full life of family, quiet reflection and intimacy.

Only 11 of her poems were ever published in her life time despite her prolificacy. We are shown a women who is faced with a string of male editors who not understanding her work and her genius act as gatekeepers to publication.

Ironically it is Mabel Todd, her brother's mistress, who with an eye for the main chance, spots Emily's brilliance and seeks to gain fame for herself by promoting Emily's poems posthumously. Luckily Sue's daughter who has a lot more insight into the true nature of her mother's relationship with Emily is able to set the historical record straight somewhat.

Molly Shannon shines as Emily in this movie as does Susan Ziegler as Sue. Wild Nights with Emily (#wildnightswithemily) is both entertaining and refreshing. Its comic treatment to lighten the drama is a delight in a biographical film. The movie deserves a much higher rating than the 6.0 currently awarded on IMDb.
