5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Indie Films in Years!, Jun 6 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: By Hook Or By Crook (DVD)
This film is a remarkable achievement for the writers, directors and fine cast. Besides being extremely well done, this film manages to deal with several topics with eloquence, including mental illness and transgendered lifestyles. All of the actors do an excellent job, particular Silas Howard and Harry Dodge. I would definitely recommend this film and hope to see more of this great talent in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars no sense whatsoever!, Nov 2 2003
This review is from: By Hook Or By Crook (DVD)
i saw this film with all the desire in the world to love it, after having read the great reviews here and one in a local newspaper's entertainment section, but unfortunately i was sadly disappointed. maybe to others the movie might be interesting, but it just happened to bring together all the features of cinema that i can't stand: shaky "real-life-like" camera movement, long dull passages of monologues by an off-screen voice telling us how important the story is, an aesthetics of the cheap and tawdry that seems to be used just to make the movie "cool" instead of actually reflecting anyone's reality, a very weak screenplay in which music video-esque sequences are given far more importance than dialogue, completely uninteresting characters about whom we know basically nothing... perhaps this is what really kills the movie in the end: it revolves around presenting a set of unique characters to us, but never allows us to see what is really behind them... how can one feel the slightest sympathy for characters who simply appear to be crazy? there is no rhyme or reason in anything they do, as they just wander through life aimlessly, taking part in equally meaningless events which are all totally illogical... not a word comes out of their mouths that seems to have the slightest significance, which just slowly alienates you from the film, as you desperately hope some kind of meaning will be given to it all before the end... unfortunately, the credits start to roll and you are left with no explanation, and nothing but a desire to leave the movie theater as quickly as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars finally a lesbian film that isn't a coming out story, July 2 2003
By 
This review is from: By Hook Or By Crook (DVD)
What a relief to finally have a great lesbian film that isn't about coming out or how the world hates all us queers. THANK YOU Harry and Silas!!!

About the movie I have to say I loved it. It was painful and sad in parts but heartwarming and hopeful all at the same time. The acting was excellent and the characters quirky and likeable. It was a pleasure to see "butch" lesbians versus the sugar coated butches typically shown in lesbian film. It also wasn't a story about being a "lesbian", the main characters just happen to be. I cared about them, yelled at them for stealing and getting in trouble, cheered them for sticking by each other. It brought me in to their world and I was completly wrapped up.

So wahoo keep up the good work guys. I'll be waiting and watching for the next project.
