Thanks for the memories!

Memorable, crazy movie

I like Dreya Weber - always been a big fan. She sort of reminds me of a female Steven Seagal (when he is in environmental mode as in Fire Down Below and On Deadly Ground). Naturally though Dreya does not go around knocking people down - she has too much couth for that. Traci Dinwiddie is pretty cool too, even in the thankless role of mentoring two obnoxious teenagers. But as it turns out they are more decent than they like to let on. The story is somewhat flimsy and contrived, but gets the point across. That point of course being that only lesbian true love can save humanity from its nasty and brutish short-sightedness leading to disaster. But fair enough. With this type of movie you pretty well know that going in.

The acting, the characters, the setting, the pie. Convincing, pleasant.Don't scratch under the surface of the plot too much. Like when we find out how the little girl died (that's hardly a spoiler-it's in practically the first scene). It would have been best to leave this detail out, because it is a throwaway line and people being shot is hardly a throwaway thing. Another example is the lunatic Other Mother. The pleading phone call at the beginning of the movie was all we needed--I got it all straightaway. (One black kid and one Asian kid are 'the children'-a little heavy-handed on the minority inclusion-it was like using their skin colour as a way to quickly convey a plot point). Her character was one dimensional and scary. It would have been better to leave her in the descriptions her ex-lover gave. Instead we were offered a poorly-developed cardboard cut-out. There was not enough set up before the sex scene. They'd barely met and the putting-ointment-on bit too obvious. The scene felt mandatory rather than natural. Any time later would have sufficed. It felt, like any other time a plot point was introduced, as forced melodrama.Which was a pity, because this movie had a heart and a cast that hung their characters out comfortably in a beautiful setting. And, as the film is not especially long, this quibbles can largely be ignored. Let the director sing you a song, even if it is slightly off-key.

This film is not worth watching.Sorry, Webber ,Tracie Dinwiddie can only be type cast opposite Necar Zadegan. I just felt like the casting was just wrong. Secondly there is not much of a storyline to fall in love with. The love scene was so random not much chemistry between the two protagonists.Chemistry between two people on screen is the essence of a love story. When making a lesbian film please take some notes from Josephine Tengblad producer of Kyss Mig and also Ich will dich these are two brilliantly crafted films.A beautiful love story between two women is all I want to watch and the films just mentioned epitomize beauty.This film did not do anything for me.

It's nothing to do with a boy and facebook; it's a lesbian love story... how did that description get applied and stick? It's mainly set outdoors and the internet, let alone Facebook, doesn't feature.Raven, a wild woman of the woods has encounter with family camping and is hostile at first, but a friendship develops and we find out she is grieving the loss of her niece. She teaches the family a few basic survival skills and their respect for her grows. We're introduced to Joe, a caring older guy who understands Raven and they make sweet country music, living quietly in the woods. Kate, the mother of the children Maya and Jack meets up with Raven at her cabin and they embrace and kiss. No words are spoken. The mysterious Angela watches the family from afar and gets Maya and Jack into her car, to take them into town but an argument ensues and the children jump out at Highway 22 and run off into the woods. Angela finds Kate and tells her what happened. Meanwhile, Maya stumbles and hurts herself. Kate runs to Raven's cabin and tells her Maya and Jack are lost in the woods. Raven knows the woods like the back of her hand and can work out the most likely route Maya and Jack will have taken. Will she save them? Well acted, thoughtful film.
