Concussion

quality film worth your time
I found this to be a lovely film with quality acting and directing. It moves at a pretty slow pace, but the dialogue is believable and the content is fresh. I often judge the quality of a film by whether I am thinking about it the next day. The main protagonist and her struggles kept coming back to me, in fact, I may watch the film again because there are several layers to work through; the perspective of the bored housewife, the workaholic partner, the culture they are living in. It's a thoughtful film, with some rough around the edges camera work, but the film was worth my time and money!

AMAZING AMAZING PROFOUND WORK OF ART
I had pretty much given up hope on much of the state of lesbian cinema. Although this is not exactly a lesbian flick per se, for tho this has gay content, it's a uniquely human story, applicable to all orientations. And the profundity, beauty, complexity, intelligence and depth of this movie is MINDBLOWING. I'm a bit sorry I only downloaded to rent and not to buy, as it is worth many, many, many rewatching. Highly recommend.

One of my new favorites!
I absolutely love this movie! I first rented it and now I have purchased it. I have already watched it several times and I'm hoping it will soon be available on Blu-ray.
MILD SPOILER ALERT!
While watching I found myself laughing at times and at other times I felt so sorry for Abby. Robin Weigert (Abby) and Maggie Siff (Sam) are great in their roles and their 2nd love scene is outstanding. To me it seems to show a progression of their relationship from call girl and client to lovers.
My only disappointment was the ending, which is left to interpretation. You can easily choose the ending of your choice, however I would have preferred knowing that Abby found happiness and sexual fulfillment either with her spouse or with Sam. Surprisingly I was left hoping that Abby and Sam continue their love affair or even divorce their spouses and be together (I know).
