In“Below Her Mouth,”Jasmine (Natalie Krill) is a successful fashion editor who is happily engaged and planning her wedding withfiancéRile (Sebastian Pigott). When she meetsa lesbian roofer named Dallas (Linder),the two women embark on a steamy affair that makes both of them reevaluate her their lives and threatens Jasmine’s engagement. Whenever Todd Haynes’ unspeakably beautiful Patricia Highsmith adaptation comes to mind, it brings some of the novel’s last words along with it: “It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and hell.” In that light, a spot on a list of the decade’s best films hardly seems like much of a reach. Below Her Mouth” first premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. Now, the lesbian romancewill make its theatrical debut in April. Directed byApril Mullen and written by Stephanie Fabrizi, the film co-stars androgynous supermodelErika Linder. Must the film focus primarily on a gay storyline, or can it feature strong lesbian characters doing something entirely different than just being lesbians? Is subtext enough, or must the sapphic be explicit? How much cinephile wrath will rain down on us for the absence of a certain recent Oscar winner? (Hot dog fingers, we argue, are simply not enough!) This movie shows the true negative effects of lesbianism. A world of lethal jealousy, cold vengeance and impassionate lust.

These movies reclaim cinematic lesbianism; they’re the movies you will see played on a loop in the club, or at an underground rooftop movie night. Some won awards; others reached cult status long after their releases. It’s a list as colorful and varied as the queer community itself.TOP Trending Movies in Nollywood this Week - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdNg1nXKWYxmwTQwflQV_yeTp_8Sw4Fi0 For Patience Ozokwor Movies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdNg1nXKWYxkA1lRFIBnFkAkyU-8uE2Xa

The Kids Are All Right (2010)

Narrowing down the best movies in any genre is tough, but for lesbian films you have to begin with a reductive question: What isa lesbian film? What, in fact, is a lesbian? (OK, that’s a different piece). The following tales of mini skirt-wearing super-spys and longing period-piece lesbians toe a careful line between caricature and camp. Too often, lesbian characters are turned into stereotypes:either unattractive man-haters or bimbos used fortitillation and slasher fodder.
