CGiii Comment

Terrible title, technically amateur and an utterly awful beginning.

DO NOT let that put you off...

The writing is fantastic and some of the performances are exemplary (especially Jennifer Tilly).

There is an incredible tenderness and truthfulness going on here...

This film has possibly one of the most powerful scenes ever to be put on film.

It really is an astounding piece of work – and it shows that...no matter the budget, it is the writing and the performances that really make a great film.

This is a great film - truly.

The(ir) Blurb...

A mixed group of individuals - lesbian, gays, and heterosexuals who all frequent a local bar struggle to accept each others lifestyles. However when the two gays are attacked and fight back and ultimately rape one of their attackers, the group becomes strongly divided on their actions. Jennifer Tilly is the mother hen of the group who tries to hold everyone together. The lesbian lovers break up when one admits to having an affair with a man.
