During the 3 movies, these short films tell the story of just how far society has come in the acceptance of lesbianism and it really is a truly wonderful feeilng that this has come about in a positive manner.

I also cried at the end - not out of the aforementioned grief performance, however, out of the sheer happiness, love, respect and fun that Ellen DeGeneres & Sharon Stone played in their parts. They were funny, witty and truly in love and at the end of the day - is that not what we all look for? It really did bring happy tears to my eyes!

I thoroughly recommend this film - well worth the money!

Poignant and sensitive - a 'must see'

The 3 stories included in this film are accurate, aptly treated and are a credible representation of lesbianism in both the social and emotional contexts.

The acting is terrific. Vanessa Redgrave gives a peerless rendition of grief and loss, and the intimacy and wit with which Ellen D and Sharon Stone play is warm and engaging.

This piece keeps the right side of sentimentality throughout and is an excellent history lesson as well as a hopeful snapshot of today. See it!

I thought this was a very moving film with so much truth in it. I am only glad that we now look back at this film to "how it use to be" I wish all the couples who are now able to tie the knot the very best. great movie !

As a man (boo!) lesbianism interests and excites, or used to, because it reveals a love I can never know. Nevertheless, I can recognise passion and truth when it comes my way. The first of these three films, though it was set in the most repressed of the three time periods, was by a mile the most powerful and emotional. Vanessa Redgrave's grief over her lost love is understated, intense and heart-rending. Compared to this, the other two stories gradually slide into vaccuous self-indulgence. The second film borders on insight, but comes up a touch short; the third, with Sharon Stone and Ellen Degeneres, is slight and easily forgotten. Would have been cleverer with some kind of link - perhaps the girl in the first story reappearing in the second or third - she might even have done so, but the third story never held me to the end.
