There's so many gay-related short films out there, probably hundreds, but hardly any of these is ever about lesbians, so this half-an-hour film made for a pretty entertaining watch. I don't have any lesbian friends, so I can't be a judge on how accurate this catalog of rules actually is, but the central character Jennifer Baker (played by Michelle Paradise) made it seem authentic to me. I also liked how she didn't take herself too seriously with comments like "Dyke drama is real". That's a thing I'm missing on many short films on the matter, which are either too serious or just try to hard to be funny.
This was Lee Friedlander's very first directorial effort and judging from the reception of his feature films, sadly possibly also his best film. It's surely worth a watch, also if you don't play for the girl-on-girl team. I liked the Blondie song they used and I thought the ending was a great way to close it in showing that, after all, no matter who you got the hots for, it's all about overcoming your shyness and take the bull by the horns. Recommended.
