  For those who aren't completely close-minded or choose not to worship antiquated societal views, this movie may be your cup of tea. As a bisexual woman, this movie was a breath of fresh air for me. For once a character's bisexuality was played with raw honesty, and wasn't overly sexualized or created for the male gaze. The lead actress conveyed the fear and awkwardness of exploring something new to her excellently. Sure some of the dialogue wasn't true to life. However, it's hard to sum up the feeling of knowing that what you want goes against norm and quite possibly your own beliefs and emotions without some long-winded monologues thrown in.

  I have to say that I found the characters in this movie extremely engaging and likable . A lot of aspects of this plot made no sense to me, but that has nothing to do with how well the movie was made. The film pulls you in enough to like the main character in care about whether or not she succeeds. The use of silence and music we're both quite effective. Despite all this Cinema verite charming awkwardness, the ending left me feeling dissatisfied, but that may have been what the director wanted us to feel at the end of such an odyssey. Nonetheless the dissatisfaction stays with me and I wish they had at least made one point rather explicitly whatever it may be. What did you do this for? Did she learn anything from it? Did she come away with something revelatory that was with jettisoning her long term relationship? I also could not accept that August somehow remains in the plot and seems to have very little by way of a realistic reaction to what happened. Put differently, his character just did not develop, and for that matter I'm not sure hers did either. I would like to have seen at least a little bit of dialogue from her that was more self-revelatory and less bashfulness and awkwardness. People say life is about the journey and not the resolution, and that may be true, but in the film going experience you need to get the director's point of view of what happened. I don't really feel that that was accomplished, leaving me to wonder what happened to the last 82 minutes of my life.

• Totally Accurate

  I loved this movie, from the awkward encounters the main character has, to the fact she always wears that ugly red coat. I believe the movie really captures the fear and anxiety of coming into a new lifestyle while clinging onto the old one. Some of the actors are not very experienced but the editing makes it more palatable. This was a very beautiful fairytale that kinda just turns the ugly growing pains of actualizing one's self into drunken phone calls and I love that.

  I voted for same sex marriage but now I have to have everything sexually divisive??? Why can't we just get on with life and be either men or women. Maybe its because I am over 60 that i feel like this. Sometimes I think people become whatever they are in an attempt to just be able to create shock and awe. Had a new starter at work a couple of months back who at the first staff meeting announcved she was lesbian and bi curious. Damned if I know what that means but blows me telling about my grandsons soccer game out of the water.
