MATURE LESBIANS (Lesbian Older Younger)

Product Information

Besides being a genuinely considerate movie with some thoughtful meditations on religion and culture, it has the added thrill of having super erotic sex scenes, made possible because: Following that, the appearance of lesbians in cinema was few and far between. A 1950s movie called ‘Pit of Loneliness’ explored lesbian themes. As did ‘The Children’s Hour’ starring Audrey Hepburn in 1961 and ‘The K!lling of Sister George’ in 1968.

Ever since Director Sebastián Lelio's Disobedience premiered at TIFF in 2017, it's been the talk of the town among the five queer women who care about this kind of stuff. The film tells story of Orthodox Jewish lesbians in London: Esti (Rachel McAdams) caught in a loveless relationship with a Rabbi, and Ronit (Rachel Weisz) trapped in a series of meaningless heterosexual hookups. As a queer woman myself, I was mostly concerned that the two female characters ate a whole plate of spaghetti without brushing their teeth before commencing intercourse. Part revenge tale and part redemption song, Lizzie took years for indie darling Chloe Sevigny ( Boys Don't Cry, Big Love, Love and Friendship) and out writer Bryce Kass to shepherd to the screen. Although there were several iterations along the way, the final version of the film about the ax killer from the tiny town of Fall River, Mass., couldn't have come at a timelier moment. A film that shares a lineage with the queer true crime-based films of the '90s like Heavenly Creatures and Sister My Sister, Lizzie is a fresh take on the "murderous lesbians'" trope. The movie also fits right in with the #MeToo era, with Lizzie and her maid/love interest/co-conspirator Bridget (Kristen Stewart) literally bashing toxic masculinity in the face.

Based on the notorious 1954 Parker–Hulme case in Christchurch, New Zealand, the sapphic movie stars a young Kate Winslet and Melanie Jayne Lynskey. Both were in their teens at the time of filming and showcase remarkable talent. I'm not about to put Kissing Jessica Stein in this category, because it's too weak of a queer film to be even considered. There's also Mulholland Drive, which had some very brief hot queer moments relative to its era (2001). Heavenly Creatures (1994) served the queer goth community particularly well. Sadly, that community is relatively small.

Colette, about the trailblazing writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, who engaged in relationships with men, women, and trans-masculine-identifying people circa the Belle Epoque, is queer to its core. In the film directed by Wash Westmoreland, who is gay, Keira Knightley embodies the pansexual bohemian feminist who stepped out of her husband's shadow to become the most famous female French author in the world. Heavenly Creatures isn’t just a lesbian film; it’s a roller coaster of emotions. It’s also one of the most sinister storylines on this list, which only makes the fact that it’s a true story even more disturbing. Other than one intimate scene, the girl’s relationship is open to interpretation in the movie. Much of the film was derived from Pauline’s diary, and honestly, I think they were too young to understand it themselves. But you certainly get the feeling that they were very much in love. It's more than a kind of first love. It's a first everything: first friendship, first real companion, intellectual companion. There's a trust from the first moment they look at each other, that this person understands me. And in a way that they've never had before," Waterston tells The Advocate.

Female Misbehaviour (1983-92)

More than half a century after Patricia Highsmith's groundbreaking 1952 novel The Price of Salt/Carol was released, Todd Haynes's big-screen adaptation Carol became revolutionary in its own way. The film, starring Cate Blanchett as the titular Carol, a soon-to-be-divorced New Jersey socialite and mother who falls for Rooney Mara's Therese, the shopgirl who is, as Carol notes, "flung out of space," earned six Oscar nominations, even if it was snubbed in the Best Picture category. Still, it was the first Oscar-worthy love story about a female couple in which a man does not steal focus and that doesn't end in disaster or death for the women. In fact, the novel and the film's hopeful ending offers a possible happily-ever-after for Carol and Therese. Looking for the best lesbian movies of all time?

Following a particularly brutal fight, the pair must confront their past traumas and find a way to heal. There's a slow and persistent burn in Mona Fastvold's The World to Come. The gorgeously spare period piece stars Katherine Waterston ( Alien: Covenant) as Abigail and Vanessa Kirby ( The Crown) as Tallie, two women battling the harsh elements in 19th-century New York State who find solace and a whole lot more in one another.

I had a lot of empathy toward her. She had a rich inner life and she didn't have a lot of outlets," Sevigny told The Advocate about Lizzie, who's depicted as being an avid reader and a patron of the arts. It’s actually quite reassuring to find there are so many lesbian movies out there. From the classics and romance titles, to period dramas and even lesbian Christmas movies, we’ve got representation in all the genres ya’ll.Have you often wondered if you’ll find a lesbian movie that isn’t overrun with tropes and cliches?

Both were unique and imaginative souls with an undeniable connection; however, too young and immature to handle it, their relationship grew toxic and obsessive.
