What a Feeling Fa and Marie Theres |
The two main characters, as well as some of the secondary characters, are initially not portrayed as very likable people, but they grow on you as they grow on one another. There are plenty of laughs, some fun moments on stage on Open Mic night at the Pussy Cat bar, and some real pathos, with well-drawn characters following a story arc that brings us eagerly along for the rom-com ride. Definitely a MUST SEE, especially for lesbians “of a certain age” but also for everyone.
There are some steamy sex scenes, probably enough for an R rating in the U.S., but nothing explicit, and actually relatively little skin, just something happening under the bedsheet with sounds of joy.
My one complaint is that the dialogue often switches languages multiple times within a single sentence, and any bits that are in English are not subtitled, making it very difficult to follow the gist from the subtitles alone. At least on the screener copy, the auto-generated closed captions were no help, since they kept trying to find English words that matched the German or Farsi dialogue. Hopefully in the wider release, there will be at least an option for full subtitles, or closed captions that don’t get jumbled up with the subtitles.
