Review

Trapped between the necessity of making ends meet and her repressed artistic desires, Naomi is not only a filmmaker who has been hired to direct a reality-based TV dating show, but she also makes lesbian porn. She soon clashes with both her producers and her dyke friends. Her only link to sanity is a clandestine cyber romance she is having with a mystery woman named Sugar. For her first television show, Naomi recruits her free-spirited best friend Azusa, who is looking for adventure outside her tedious relationship, and the seductive Miki, an office manager by day and go-go dancer by night. As the show is being taped, the triangle takes shape! Azusa thinks she is falling in love with Miki, and Miki becomes attracted to Naomi!

Sugar Sweet is a fun, sexually charged romp through Japan's metropolis with plenty of eye candy, innuendos, fantasy, vibrators, strap-ons, and nipple clamps. The vivid dyke underground is steeped in exotic women, fetish foreplay, and safe sex, but director Desiree Lim skillfully blends eroticism with romanticism. Each character experiences the ebbs and flows of the game of love, and not without some playfulness along the way. (Japanese with English subtitles)
