Anatomy of a Love Seen (2014)

I watch ALL films lesbian. They are few and far between. Typically I only make it half way thru most of them because they're so bad.I stumbled across this one last night, so glad I did. The story unfolds slowly but hang on anyway... it's a smart drama with some hysterical laughs for those who have ever worked on a micro budget film. Highly recommend...

Anatomy of a love seen is beautiful film. It's a slow, deep and filled with enigma it draws you in from the go. The film is based around the love of two actresses who fell in love in a love scene. The film is based around the fallout of their relationship. The whole film shows them based re-filming that love scene and around the drama it creates.The main actors created a real sense of chemistry and it makes the film into this enthralling story. Sexuality is used to create a compelling and unique story but so familiar, the story of love.The anatomy of love seen is a amazing step back from reality and make you emotional. It might not be for everyone it not fast, there no action but what there is one of simplistic and compelling stories that is coupled with amazing acting a beautiful cinematography.

This film was starting to be something then fell flat in the first minute! The blonde's acting was worse than the redheads and most of the few actors in this were "acting" as if they were acting, if you know what I mean, and not in a good sense. As I'm watching, this the redheads sincerity seemed real in bed about 34 minutes into the film, more so than the blonde. Don't get me wrong "I LOVE blonde's"! I don't understand why they would have put two people of conflict in a film together? Did they or didn't they know? It seems to me, to be a conspired film, pro LGBT and they could have done it better with a better production and better actors. Maybe this would have been better as a play but this is trying for a gut sense and I don't get there with the thin acting scenes. 46 minutes in, the blonde in the makeup room is really overacting and not at all what a normal person would experience during a time like this. I could act with or have actual sex with an ex,whether I liked her or not and not act like this! The only touching section of the film was after they filmed and were backstage listening to music and hugging.And "acting director" it's inappropriate not unappropriate during the backstage argument following the "Do you love her " segment.This movie just proves to me as a hetero that women have the same heartache together as they do with men, so not a better situation just different. The END! Neither of them ever having had a meaningful relationship with others (I'm not sure there was a time line mentioned) seems improbable. The end seemed to be thrown in there as a hard R/X scene to keep the male audiences interested to boost the lackluster 3/4 of the rest of the film.

This movie is so powerful. If you are a person that has been abandoned by someone you loved, who you thought loved you, without explanation, this movie will have an affect on you. Maybe you are the person who did the abandoning. You can identify with one, if not both, of these women. Some have complained about it being slow or no plot. I will say, you must have some depth to you to enjoy this film. It has very quiet moments, but that is where the intensity lies. These quiet moments are where you are going to feel and remember your old wounds. I have watched this movie several times since the first time, and it sticks with me for hours afterwards. Not many movies these days that have that effect. The two lead actresses did such a good job with their roles. I cared so much about Mal & Zoe by the end. If you are able to watch a movie without aliens/disasters/high speed car crashes, please give this movie a chance. xoxo
