Review

Quite possibly the most unheralded lesbian-themed film ever made in the United States, Just the Two of Us tenderly tells the love story between two married women. The film features low production values and sub-par acting, but it rises above these flaws with an engaging pro-lesbian script (much like the '90s sensation Go Fish). Pretty and sensible Denise (Alicia Courtney) and the sweetly ditsy blonde Adria (Elizabeth Plumb) are lonely housewives living in suburban L.A. who become close friends. While lunching at a restaurant, they notice two women at another table kissing. Both women are transfixed, and a romance between them ensues. However, what is a fling to one becomes much more to the other. A thoughtful examination of passion and identity, Just the Two of Us, with its non-traditional ending, should bring a collective smile on the faces of any lesbian audience.
