Marina (writer/director Lisa
Gornick, Tick Tock Lullaby) has just
broken up with her girlfriend Romy (Raquel Cassidy, Tick
Tock Lullaby) but finds herself in the midst of questioning that decision
as well as just about everything else to do with life, love, sex and intimacy.
She rides her bike around London contemplating and examining and discusses her
crises with family and friends, who often have their own issues to deal with. In
flashback, we see Marina and Romy interacting, as well as Marina and her ex, Romy
and her ex, Marina and friends, Marina and family.
It's like watching a
series of conversations about life. Marina is a bit neurotic, focusing on her
increasing lack of femininity, cheating, lesbian relationships, and sex between
men and women. It's contemplative
sometimes interesting, sometimes
not, a bit odd all in all. For those who identify with Marina and her friends,
it may be a joy to watch. For others of us, it may not be the film to hold our
rapt attention, but it did win several lgbt film festival awards.
