Lesbian films
List of all lesbian-themed movies I have watched. They are listed in the order I watched them, not according to rating.
I probably started this list (although not on IMDb yet) in 2013 or 2014 so some of these I haven't watched in a really long time. I moved the list over to here in May 2022, everything dated after May 21st 2022 should have the correct date to when I watched it first. Also, every entry as of Ammonite was watched very soon before the creation of this list (probably all in May 2022). I can not comment on the dates of all preceding entries though.
Don't read anything into the lengths of my notes. Sometimes I have a lot to say and sometimes I don't, it is not necessarily indicative of my feelings about the movie.

- RéalisateurJamie BabbitVedettesNatasha LyonneClea DuVallMichelle WilliamsA naive teenager is sent to rehab camp when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect her of being a lesbian.Probably the most iconic and honestly one of the best lesbian movies of all time.
10/10 - RéalisateurAlexandra-Therese KeiningVedettesRuth Vega FernandezLiv MjönesKrister HenrikssonUne jeune femme fiancée entame une relation sentimentale avec la fille lesbienne de sa future belle-mère.Great lesbian movie. Some of the highlights, beyond the obvious, that I appreciate in this movie are the family dynamics, in particular the complex father-daughter relationship and how it relates to their feelings about Mia's sexuality, as well as how not afraid it is to refer to Mia as bisexual which is really refreshing after so much media completely ignores that label.
9/10 - RéalisateurKatherine BrooksVedettesErin KellyDiane GaidryLaura BreckenridgeThe intelligent Annabelle starts in an elite Catholic girls' boarding high school after being expelled from the previous 2 schools. She's open about being lesbian. She's attracted to her teacher, Simone.The adult teacher/minor student romance will always be uncomfortable to me and is why I can't fully get behind a movie like this. I feel like they have tried to mitigate this somewhat by making Annabelle the one with power and holding all the cards but that does not change the facts of their age and positions.
4/10 - RéalisateurAtom EgoyanVedettesJulianne MooreAmanda SeyfriedLiam NeesonSuspectant son mari d'infidélité, la gynécologue Catherine Stewart engage une escorte appelée Chloé afin de vérifier sa fidélité. Bientôt, les relations entre les trois s'intensifient.6/10
- RéalisateurSue KramerVedettesHeather GrahamTom CavanaghBridget MoynahanGray and Sam are brother and sister, best friends, and flatmates in New York City, where she creates ad campaigns and he's a surgery intern. Their social life is too insular, so they head to a dog park so Sam can, maybe, meet a woman. He does: Charlie, a zoologist new in the city; he likes her immediately, and the feeling seems mutual. As the three of them spend time together, what if Gray's feelings for Charlie aren't just sisterly? Not only might this explain her solitary life, but it could lead to real dilemmas--with Charlie (who's sweet, but a bit opaque) and with Sam. No advice comes from Gray's therapist, but a co-worker and a cab driver give theirs. Can Gray sort things out?7/10
- RéalisateurFernanda CardosoVedettesAllison McAteeSarah StoufferKatherine Ann McGregorA coming-of-age drama about a former child actress attending college in search of independence and who ends up becoming romantically involved with a female professor.Same issue as Loving Annabelle although it is somewhat helped by the fact that it takes place at college instead of high school so even though the teacher/student relationship is uncomfortable, they are both adults. Although I do think they play into the age difference too much in a way that is uncomfortable, and scenes like the one where Cathrine bathes Jackie does not help.
5/10 - RéalisateurOl ParkerVedettesPiper PeraboLena HeadeyMatthew GoodeUne jeune mariée s'éprend d'une autre femme qui remet en question son orientation sexuelle, suscitant un trouble chez la famille et les amis de la mariée.This is just The Lesbian Rom-Com™. It might not be the best or most profound movie on this list but for what it is, it is absolutely perfect. It is a classic Rom-Com with classic Rom-Com tropes except this time the romance is between two women which was basically unheard of in this genre at the time and still rare to this day.
10/10 - RéalisateurLukas MoodyssonVedettesAlexandra DahlströmRebecka LiljebergErica CarlsonDeux adolescentes dans une petite ville de Suède. Elin est belle, populaire et s'ennuie dans la vie. Agnès n'a pas d'amis, est triste et secrètement amoureuse d'Elin.Great lesbian teen movie. This movie has become the blueprint that every Swedish teen movie tries to emulate but almost never to great success. This is just a sweet story with characters and settings that feel real.
9/10 - RéalisateurLisa CholodenkoVedettesAnnette BeningJulianne MooreMark RuffaloDeux enfants conçus par insémination artificielle font entrer leur père biologique dans leur vie familiale peu conventionnelle.I remember not really liking this movie but I would have to watch it again to know for sure what I think.
- RéalisateurShamim SarifVedettesLisa RaySheetal ShethAntonia FreringAlors qu'elle est sur le point de se marier, Tala, une jeune Palestinienne installée à Londres, tombe amoureuse de Leyla, une jeune Britannique d'origine indienne.8/10
- RéalisateurLee RoseVedettesStockard ChanningEllen MuthKelly RowanA high-school girl's first sexual experience is with another girl, and along with her first broken heart, she must deal with her mother's reaction to her revelation that she is a lesbian and with ostracism at school.
- RéalisateurNicole ConnVedettesBarbara NivenBryan Mordechai JacksonJessica ClarkRebecca a un secret très inhabituel, que même ses meilleurs amis ne connaissent pas. La dernière personne au monde à qui elle s'attend à le révéler est une escorte à prix élevé nommée Paris.
- RéalisateurNicole ConnVedettesNecar ZadeganThunderbird DinwiddieGary WeeksFate brings two diversely different women together, and sets them on a collision course that will shatter their preconceived notions about love, life and the power of one's soul.Pretty good movie but something just didn't quite click for me, although I could see some people really loving it. Good acting and good chemistry between the two leads but the story leaves some things to be desired. The married woman falls for cool out-and-proud lesbian story is a bit cliche and I think Elena's character suffered from seemingly lacking feelings of guilt and any inner torment. I also think the whole part with the love guru and his interrupting narrations was unnecessary and didn't add anything of substance. The ending was also weird and rushed.
6/10 - RéalisateurNed FarrVedettesDreya WeberParis P. PickardAnthony Michael JonesUn ancien marine revient dans sa ville natale après l'Irak et aide une jeune femme de 20 ans, qui risque la prison, à se préparer pour le camp d'entraînement militaire.
- RéalisateurLéa PoolVedettesPiper PeraboJessica ParéMischa BartonAfter starting at an upmarket boarding school, a teenage girl forms close friendships with her two older roommates. However, when she discovers that her new friends are lovers she finds herself caught in a complicated situation.I remember really not liking this and thinking it was so overhyped when I first watched it years ago. Maybe I'll rewatch it some day and see if I still feel this way.
- RéalisateurCéline SciammaVedettesPauline AcquartLouise BlachèreAdèle HaenelAprès une rencontre à la piscine pendant les vacances d'été se forme entre trois adolescentes un triangle amoureux qui s'avère difficile à maintenir, car chacune désire l'amour de l'autre.I remember really disliking this movie but that was years ago now and I can't recall anything specific so I might rewatch it at some point and reevaluate.
- RéalisateurJacob ChaseVedettesDaniel CarlisleTodd KubrakEmily PeckTwo couples in their twenties, who are struggling to find substance and meaning in their lives and relationships, meet by happenstance in a New York City Irish tavern called The Four-Faced Liar.Pretty good. Enjoyed the relationship between the two women which had good build-up but found both the male lead characters really appalling and the fact that their behavior was never properly addressed and condemned in the narrative kinda irks me.
7/10 - RéalisateurTodd HaynesVedettesCate BlanchettRooney MaraSarah PaulsonUne jeune femme qui souhaite devenir photographe noue une relation intime avec une femme plus âgée à New York dans les années 1950.This is such an iconic lesbian movie. I used to really love this movie but upon rewatching I just found myself not as invested as previously, maybe it's because I just read the book which is more in-depth and the romance develops over a longer amount of time (I really recommend it!) but something just didn't click for me. Don't get me wrong, it is still an excellent movie I just didn't find it quite as perfect as I did in the past.
9/10 - RéalisateurShamim SarifVedettesLisa RaySheetal ShethParvin DabasA drama centered on two women who engage in a dangerous relationship during South Africa's apartheid era.
- RéalisateurKelli HerdVedettesKeri Jo ChapmanTeresa GarrettDerrick SandersResidents of the fictional town of Azalea Springs, Texas go into a panic after a gay local says the town's water supply is what made him gay.This movie is kinda stupid but I just love it so much. It is fun and campy and I love the main romance.
8/10 - RéalisateurLee RoseVedettesLeslie HopeWendy CrewsonD.W. MoffettAn unhappily married housewife and mother of two children (Leslie Hope) seperates from her husband and gets a new job where she developes a mutual attraction to her female boss (Wendy Crewson).Pretty okay but I found the love story lacked some of the build-up in the beginning as their romantic connection felt like it was more so told to the audience than showed. Also, some things just kinda resolved too easily in the end.
6/10 - RéalisateurMary Agnes DonoghueVedettesKatherine HeiglTom WilkinsonLinda EmondJenny subit les pressions de sa famille qui ne souhaite qu'une chose: que celle-ci trouve un mari. Elle annonce à ses parents qu'elle souhaite se marier avec sa compagne Kitty. La famille tombe alors des nues en apprenant son homosexualitéThis is not a perfect movie but I feel like it gets a lot of unfair flak. Yea, I agree that the chemistry between the main couple is kinda bad which would be a problem if this was a romance but it isn't. The story is about this woman's relationship with her family and all the family's scenes are well acted and feel real. In this type of story, that is the important thing.
6/10 - RéalisateurMika KaurismäkiVedettesMalin BuskaSarah GadonMichael NyqvistTHE GIRL KING paints a portrait of the brilliant, extravagant Kristina of Sweden, queen from age six, who fights the conservative forces that are against her ideas to modernize Sweden and who have no tolerance for her awakening sexuality.
- RéalisateurRainer KaufmannVedettesIna WeisseErika MarozsánUlrich NoethenSuccessful designer Marie has a loving husband and two children. But fate offers more. When she meets the fiancée of their friend Dom, the two women fall for each other. This comes out and life gets out of control. Can there be a long-term solution?Hmm I don't know, this didn't quite do it for me. The pacing felt kinda off at times and some of the storybeats just didn't hit. I think a big flaw is in the character of Ayla, because even though it is more understandable why Marie stays with her husband (marriage and kids on the line), Ayla's motivations are much less clear and she comes across as kinda flaky and just playing around. It had it's moments but overall not a fave for me.
