VHS Movie Reviews of Go Fish
Movie Review: Absolutely wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Words can not even begin to express how much I loved this movie. I don't usually like the whole arty/black-and-white thing, but something about it just drew me in from the beginning, and I am VERY glad I took the time to watch it.
It's the first lesbian movie I've seen that I felt really connected... kinda hard to explain what I mean, but if you are a lesbian and you feel out of place in the world, BUY THIS MOVIE. It will take away that awful feeling that you're too weird and there's nobody else like you... this movie has women who look like real women and act like real women -- this is about as far from "The L Word" as it's possible to get, and that's a good thing.
Movie Review: Playing hard to get
Summary: 3 Stars
Lesbian love story set in Chicago. The two main characters that everyone in lesbian community is trying to hook up are polar opposites. One is young and pretty, while the other one is older and homely looking. Both are looking for the right love interest in their lives and are not rushing in their pursuit of finding one. While acting is somewhat substandard, we do get close to this story as everyone, regardless of the gender can relate to sincere efforts of finding a true love. In addition to intimate view of lesbian life and community, film also raises other questions such as commitment between two people, diversion of lesbian woman in sexual relationship with a man and what it means to other lesbian's perception of her.Movie Review: Without Go Fish there'd be no L Word
Summary: 5 Stars
Crtiticze all you want, but without Go Fish breaking the ground that it did, we'd have no L Word. While the production values are low, hollywood was not shelling out millions of dollars tomade for, by and about lesbian films. This film is historical and paved the way for lesbian representation. Hate ot or Love it...we are here because of it.Movie Review: A must have for your collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good movie that is well written, acted and a good message as well. A must have for the lesbian collection! It was a low budget film that was creatively done. I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: worst lesbian movie I've ever seen
Summary: 1 Stars
My and girlfriend watched this movie and we hated it. It was senseless and we had to stop it when it was around 35 min. I couldn't watch it no more. It was horrible. My girlfriend gave it to her best friend and she said it was the worst lesbian movie she had ever seen... I agree!
Summary of Go Fish
Go Fish won acclaim in its initial release in 1994, probably because of its irreverence in gazing at the lives of a group of young lesbians in Chicago. The film was directed and cowritten by Rose Troche, who went on to make Bedrooms and Hallways with the help of Guinevere Turner, her then-partner and star of this film. (Turner later appeared in several films and collaborated with director Mary Harron to bring the nearly unadaptable Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho to the big screen.)Go Fish is an audience film in that it needs a crowd to make its in-joke mentality pulse. In fact, it's hard to believe the film transcended its target demographic despite the fact that in its heart of hearts it's an old-fashioned love story. It feels amateurish upon solo home viewing, though retaining an iota of charm for its low-budget clunkiness and funkiness. While it basically tells the story of a young lesbian (played by Turner) looking for Ms. Right, and conforms to a standard scenario in that love is always found where it's least expected, it benefits mostly from Troche's ability to wring some wit out of "dyke drama" and, with her insider's point of view, poke gentle fun at it with a relatively sharp stick. --Paula Nechak
