One thing you don’t find all that often is a good lesbian comedy. The majority of lesbian movies I’ve found are serious dramas, but if you are looking to lighten the mood I suggest Molly’s Girl. This is a fun, silly movie that still has enough emotional struggle in it to fulfill our need to see the characters grow.
Molly, played by Kristina Valada-Viars, is quirky to say the least and Mercedes, played by Emily Schweitz, is ruthless. Of course, they meet at a point when both women are emotionally desperate creating the perfect storm for an unlikely romance. When the wine wears off it’s clear that they are no perfect pair, but a surprising twist keeps them together just long enough for a few lessons to be learned.
Written and directed by Scott R. Thompson, Molly’s Girl is a bit over the top but none the less fantastic. At first I was annoyed by Molly, thinking that her character was overacted, but she actually grew on me. Really, we’ve all met someone like her anyway. By the end, I was fully engulfed in all the awkward humor and ended up giving this movie a four star rating on Netflix.
