Movie Review: What you see is what you get
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is, as claimed, a celebration of Sapphic Love. The soundtrack, which is entirely music and narrative, is interrupted at the beginning of each segment for a quote from Sappho herself (in English translation).
The actresses were sexy, the sex was both tender and passionate, and it seemed to me that in most of the scenes, the two women were very open to each other. I'm sure a 17-year-old boy would definitely enjoy it; oh to be 17 again!
There was one review in which it was remarked that the actors were acting; it is almost self-evident that if a camera is present, only the shallowest of people can emote in complete sincerity. There was even an accusation that the women were not Lesbians. I hardly dare to point out that most women who feel able to star in a piece such as this are probably bisexual, at the very least. This cynical politicisation of video reviews helps neither heterosexuals nor homosexuals, men or women.
Movie Review: It delivers what it promises, often to sizzling effect
Summary: 4 Stars
The only problems I have with this often scorching production are 1) The image isn't QUITE as crisp as it could be, though it's definitely acceptable-to-good;
2) There is a relatively minimal amount of eye contact, smiles & words exchanged between most couples (although, twice removed that I am--as a man, & again as a viewer--I'm imagining all kinds of cues & interchanges may have been made between partners that are not overtly evident to me). Though it sometimes seems plausible, by the nature of their interactions, that some of the members of the (nine) couples may not have even met their partners before their sessions, most display SOME intimacy--above & beyond the sexual, obviously;
And 3) All we hear, following the somewhat dry, relatively brief instructive narratives from sexologist Dr. Patti Britton, is music--no sighs, cries or groans of ecstasy. Oh well. (These well-intentioned, helpful observations--some of which tiptoe over the edge from being sober, wise coaching, to becoming unintentionally a little funny, to me--are aimed at men, with the goal of making them better lovers.)
Despite these relatively minimal reservations, let me quickly add that much of what happens here is quite exciting! Most of the women are very attractive, some are downright gorgeous, & there is a feast of very well-filmed, utterly erotic encounters here that should leave anyone who is interested in this kind of play very satisfied. It may be of interest to note that, other than one partner usually taking the lead, there wasn't a lot of obvious (to me), clearly intended distinction made between butch & femme; virtually all of the women are quite feminine in appearance.
For the record, there's little silicone present, & of that, no one sports basketball-sized breasts.
There's a bonus, short photo gallery of stills, showcasing one other couple, but it's very tame compared to what we see in the main nine chapters.
All in all, highly recommended.
Movie Review: not what it claims to be
Summary: 2 Stars
WARNING: This is not an instructional video nor a guide to anything. It is a collection of scenes from porn films. The menu/commentary makes this clear by citing which films the scenes are from. One female couple after another engages in, frankly, unconvincing love scenes, and the unconvincing part has nothing to do with the fact that they're attractive actresses (lots of lesbians are attractive), it's because the scenes simply aren't that erotic. Okay, I'm no expert on lesbian sexuality, but I would be surprised to learn that any noticeable percentage of lesbians consider these accurate depictions of how women make love to other women. As a heterosexual male, I suppose no nude love scene between two women can be deemed a COMPLETE waste of time, but I sincerely wanted an instructional video. If I'd wanted a porn film, I'd have bought one.Movie Review: Delivers what you would hope it will
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best "sexology" DVD I've seen - no tedious "talking heads", no fake groans, just a brief voice-over at the start of each sequence commenting on the notable aspects of what will happen and then the action starts with two feminine women (there are different couples throughout) to an accompaniment of appropriate background music. Each sequence or chapter generally follows what you'd expect to be a natural progression, although the action is abbreviated a little from what it should take in reality - no doubt because of time constraints on a DVD - including explicit cunnilingus close-ups. There is a gallery bonus feature on the menu although this is just a slow slide slow of another couple. [...].Movie Review: Typical fake soft porn non-lesbian acting...
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not "HOT" in my opinion, it is totally typical acting out soft porn type of sex scenes. This would appeal to a straight 17 year old male. The women are clearly not having "real" sex, they aren't even good at pretending that they're aroused. They aren't bad looking, they're just the usual cast of characters. No "real" lesbian would have such hideous fingernails (for obvious reasons) and have sex with such stand off and POSED positions. Boring. UGH, don't bother.
