When Night Is Falling asleep
22 November 2016
In this day and age, more than two decades later, we've become more tolerant, and looking back, why the big deal about two women together? What's so unacceptable about that? What's wrong? As long as two people love, let them live in love, the world needs more of that. I don't think two women in love have anything to hide. I think a heterosexual girl is very, very likely to land in far more 'shameful situations' than her counterpart. I mean, two girls together, what do they get up to? A bit of inventive fun, harmless, and it's generally quite wholesome to look at. Like in this movie. I see nothing to be ashamed of. Not in their sexual activity.

As for the movie itself, bit of a different story, I'm sorry to say. I felt like "hoo boy, I didn't pick a winner, geesh, this is going along dreary, it's not like the stuff I normally watch." I knew from the start that it was Canadian, I checked out the trailer on VuClip, I placed the order, but as the moment arrived, I had a feeling "don't expect too much..." and, no, I really didn't get too much.

The whole thing is kind of staid in places, the sapphic love scenes are beautiful but not really exceptional, there was no real spark, it lacked any real excitement. The big NC-17 rating makes it sound like porno material. It's very far from that. Very far. It's kind of wholesome. It's just two people in love, some naked smooching. Come on, what's the big deal?

Certainly, not this movie.

{I was going to call my review "a dog in the refrigerator" inspired by this movie being so different from my usual fare, but that looked so horrid for such a sweet movie. But it was a very uplifting moment when ol' Bob the dog crawled out of the snow grave. Liked that!}
