Lesbian.
December. 27,2020"Lesbian." is a powerful poem by Lisa Luxx. It's about the word “lesbian”, and the decades of toxic connotations that have made it feel like a hostile piece of language: so much so that today, many queer women hesitate before using it. Rosemary Baker's short film of the poem, which features a cast of real queer women, uses intricate body painting to bring to life what those layers of toxicity feel like. In an era of headline-hitting attacks on lesbians in public, it is a call to arms to take the word back.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
