Can a cynical lesbian from the Big Apple find happiness with an upbeat blonde from the West Coast? That's the question in this independent bicoastal comedy. Rachel (Helen Lesnick, who also wrote and directed the film) is a native New Yorker who, after an unpleasant breakup with her girlfriend (Michele Greene), decides she needs a change of scenery. Rachel packs her bags and moves to San Diego, where she has a bit of trouble adapting to the laid-back rhythms of the California lifestyle; she also discovers that getting her career as a freelance writer going again is harder than she expected. After several bad dates, Rachel meets Christine (Erica Shaffer), and Rachel thinks she may have finally found love at last. But after her last relationship, Rachel finds that trusting anyone unconditionally no longer comes naturally. A Family Affair was screened at the 2001 L.A. Outfest, a festival devoted to gay and lesbian-themed films. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

| Lesbian Comedy with a New York style twist

This was a throughly fun film.
The style of having the main character
face the camera and talk to the audience
and narrate with ironic sarcasm was
a fun twist, especially since the main
character had a Jewish New York style
humor and having angst over being transplanted
to Southern California, among other things.
If you want a Lesbo flick and a comedy,
this is it. It's doesn't try to be something
other than what it is and might not win top
awards but it's a darn good time and those
of us not oriented towards a traditional
lifestyle of marriage, kids, committment and
all that entails will relate to the character's
angst when she realizes that everything she formerly
believes about herself is being challenged by the
true love of a good womyn. |
