Mango Kiss (2003)

Editorial Reviews

Lesbian love takes a kinky turn in Mango Kiss, a romantic comedy about role playing of all kinds. Lou (Michelle Wolfe) and Sassy (Daniele Ferraro) are best friends who move to San Francisco, where they're delighted by the abundance of lesbian lifestyles. Sassy can't wait to sample the bounty, but Lou just wants Sassy--though when she gets her wish, complications begin. Mango Kiss features a host of quirky characters, ranging from tops and bottoms in the bondage scene to a couple that has replicated a 1950s male-female relationship. Fortunately, the movie doesn't just coast on quirk--the writing and acting are strong, though the story loses momentum towards the end. Mango Kiss also doesn't take itself (or the role-playing) too seriously; its satirical humor gives the movie some spark--and a couple of steamy sex scenes don't hurt either. Also featuring Sally Kirkland (Private Benjamin). --Bret Fetzer

From the Back Cover

Jane's Mom (Stockard Channing, TV's "West Wing," "Grease") assumes her popular daughter is just like every other fifteen-year-old girl - a little confused about growing up, but a great kid at heart. Jane figures her mom is just like any other mom - a little too protective, but only because she loves her. Both of them believe they have a good relationship. Then Jane meets Taylor, the new girl at school, and falls madly in love with her. Suddenly, everyone is trying to figure out how to cope with the realization that Jane is a lesbian. Her classmates are having trouble treating her like a human being, and her mom refuses to have anything to do with Jane's experiment. The trouble is, this is not just a phase. Jane knows she's gay. If her mom can't or won't accept that fact, their relationship could be broken forever. Through the help of new friends and a lot of soul searching, Jane learns to accept herself and her sexuality. Now the challenge is finding a way to help her mom remember how much she loves her daughter.

Saving Face (2004)

Editorial Reviews

Saving Face starts like you might expect a Chinese-American lesbian romantic comedy to start: Young surgeon Wilhelmina (Michelle Krusiec, in her first starring role) has kept her sexual orientation secret from the conservative Chinese community of Flushing, NY--but when her mother (Joan Chen, The Last Emperor) becomes pregnant and is kicked out by her own parents, Wil suddenly has to juggle her mother's secrets with her own...which include her sparky new romance with Vivian (Lynn Chen), a ballet dancer and the daughter of Wil's boss. This bundle of intrigue and lust could motivate a wacky farce, but writer/director Alice Wu takes things a step further, delving into the characters' psyches and the complex social rules of their world while still crafting a strong plot and plenty of sly humor. Wu captures excellent performances from her entire cast, particularly Joan Chen, who gives perhaps her most multifaceted performance. A rich, rewarding, and delightful movie. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

When 48-year-old widow Hwei-Lan Gao (Joan Chen) informs her less-than understanding father she's pregnant, he banishes her from Flushing until she remarries or proves Immaculate Conception. With nowhere else to go, Hwei-Lan moves in with her grown daughter, Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a Manhattan doctor who doesn't want a roommate, especially since she's met Viv (Lynn Chen), her sexy young lover. So Wil does what any dutiful child with an expectant, unmarried mother on her hands would do: she proceeds to set Hwei-Lan up with every eligible bachelor in town.

Out of the Past: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Rights in America (1998)

Editorial Reviews

From The New Yorker Director Jeff Dupre's solid documentary on the gay community is one part history lesson (profiles of obscure gay and lesbian historical figures) and one part smart reporting (a young lesbian attempts to form a Gay-Straight Alliance club in Salt Lake City). The film, written by Michelle Ferrari, is a dialogue between the past and the present, and an emotionally textured treatise on alienation and marginalization which is intelligent and, thankfully, entertaining. -Bruce Diones Copyright © 2006 The New Yorker
