What some people think about this movie...

I can't believe no one else wrote about this movie. For anyone in their mid to late 20's, this film was the 1st mainstream glimpse of lesbianism they'd seen. Chastity Bono said that after she saw it, that's when she KNEW. Even though one woman turns to a man at the end, the lesbian relationship is VERY REAL. This is such an amazing movie!!!Why isn't it recommended here? Oh well.
