I liked this movie a lot, but I think some think its a love story when that is far from the truth.
The story dealt with some hard facts when dealing with our own sexuality, and it did so with a real world vision instead of movie magic romance.
It left me thinking, yet hopeful.

A very truthful story about self discovery and acceptance
Not bad for a low budget drama
I think films should be judged in the context of their budget - and for a low budget drama, this delivers. It's a story about women struggling with their sexuality.
The film would have felt a little more timely in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, maybe 2000s, but by 2021 it's not as groundbreaking. But not every film needs to break new ground. There is one hot love scene. Worth a look.
A good story with very poor mechanics
As the writer and director are the same person we are definitely seeing the the artist's. Vision. It is a coming out story for two women that have been denying their own, respective sexualities. A one night stand between them throws not only their worlds into chaos but, their friends lives as well. It doesn't have a story-book ending but, there is truth in that.
THE NEGATIVES: Bad casting choices. 30 to 40 something actors as college students just starting to experience life. Mixing 20, 30 and 40 somethings as a tight knit group of friends-in college. A laser focused / tunnel vision aspect to the scenes in public places. By that I mean the background actors could have been replaced with cardboard cut-outs.
Things that just didn't work: A business major that doesn't understand statistics. A college, never pictured, devoid of other people. The drinking at work scenes for both leads. The two businesses are lacking customers and allow on the job drinking. The dialog for the first half of the movie is as subtle as a chainsaw.
To the author: You told a realistic story and did it well. The emotional subtext comes through in your your work. Comparable to Robert Heinlein's passage on 1 and 1 and 1 don't always equal 3. Please polish your craft, I look forward to you future works.
