    I really think that what made portrait of a lady on fire be so extraordinary was its ability to turned a lesbian film (usually a copy from straight romances) actually into a deep and complex movie, even bringing innovations in the way of telling love stories. Simply a masterpiece

      This is what signaled to me that two women could fall in love. I had nothing queer to look at to see myself in... live life together, share life together, love each other and be passionate about the sex they had. Aimee and Jaguar changed the trajectory of my fucking life!!!! P S I watched A&J whilst I was married to a man; I look behind me to see that I wasn't in love with him, I never was. From 15 to 39 were my 1st and 39 to 49 my current and second marriage. I never had a fire in my belly until I met and married my wife.

    I’ve seen every one of these and I have to agree completely; I think I’ve seen Desert Hearts and Carol 3 times. Probably because I’m older (read ‘old’), I just have to include a 2012 movie that for me, is Number One. There are so few good lesbian films of the “May-December’ pair, and “A Perfect Ending” just floats my boat! I’ve never seen it in any of your reviews, and I would just love to see it somewhere…it’s definitely under the “Out Late” or the “Best Romance” category. The performances of Barbara Niven and Jessica Clark are exquisite and the romance is precious.

    I think that every lesbian movie could be subtitled "Portrair Of A Lady On Fire" bc inevitably the interference of men will make life hell for any two women in love, lol. (And the sad thing is that most women will fold under the pressure & declare themselves bi but in a long term relationship w/ a male. 🤬 You have to have a really weak stomach for men & a high tolerance for oppobrium to live as a lesbian, even in "modern" times, truth be told).
