ThiefHott Too much of everything

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Cynara: Poetry in Motion" is an American 40-minute movie set in the 19th century that deals with a romantic relationship between two women. It is softcore porn, very explicit and thus not suitable for younger audiences. But then again why would they want to watch it. This id not a good film by any means and the script is so bad and uninteresting that it's impossible to say if the actresses in here are talented or not. The only material they have is showing us their naked bodies. These, without a doubt, look fairly nice, but from a cinematic perspective there is little of value in here. Actually the movie is pretty pretentious at times, tries to be beautiful in terms of sceneries and art direction, but nothing of it feels authentic. A failure for the most part. Not recommended.

Robert J. Maxwell It's a little hard to imagine some ordinary straight guy sitting before the TV screen, can of beer in one hand, trying to make any sense out of this unusual movie that can be transduced into something resembling appreciation.Nope. It's a movie made by women for women. The guy with the beer is going to sit there and suffer through the soft seaside breezes of Baycliffe, the glow of candle flames, the sensuous molding of a writhing and naked body, the absent dialog that has been replaced by poetry good and mediocre, the growing affection between two women (one of whom dresses like George Sand and even looks a little like her), the lush romantic music, the stunning but fuzzy photography, the slow motion shot of the two women riding horses along the beach -- and he's thinking, "What about the DILDOS?" And, "When do we bring in the STABLE BOY?" No such luck, dude. Two women in 1888 fall in love, spend a an ecstatic night or two together, and one leaves sadly.There's nothing vulgar about it. It doesn't approach the banal debasement of the human figure that you can watch on a hard-core DVD, all glossy glabrous surfaces and globular dugs. It's about lesbian love, of which sex is merely a part. I know this because, though I'm a straight male, I had sat through the Human Sexuality Training Program at Berkeley. I have seen elephants at work, never mind lesbians. The world today is filled with hysteria and tumult and, trust me, I'd take tribadism over tribalism any day.It's not my kind of movie, but I give the production team extra points for (1) trying something that will appeal to such a limited audience, and (2) apparently having so much fun while making the movie. The credits and acknowledgments at the end are almost as long as the rest of the film. As at the end of "Citizen Kane" we get to see the team joking around while at work. Only one man appears, an "honorary lesbian." It takes a certain amount of courage to put out a movie like this. How many movies can you think of that have no substantial story and no dialog? Not counting Andy Warhol? And it has its felicities. If you thought the chess match between Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen in "The Thomas Crown Affair" was hot, you ought to see these pale and delicate fingertips pick up an over-sized horse's head from the board. Speaking of horses, why do all women love horses so much? Once, wondering whether any research beyond Freudian fantasies had gone on, I Googled "women and horses" and wound up at this bizarre web site in Brazil which, while entertaining in its own way, explained nothing.I didn't care for the poetry too much either. Didn't mind Byron. Always like Byron. And the rest might have looked better in print. It was all new to me and when I hear something like, "Yea, verily, I have been faithful to thee -- in my fashion," I don't think of liquid love. I think of Cole Porter or Danny Kaye.Anyway, applause for the team for having the chutzpah and the energy to turn out something that was almost certain to be a commercial catastrophe. Tribadism Forever!

BrissyBrett A very short movie indeed. Have to be honest here, but the first 30 minutes is terrible, no continuity or direction at all. Its like, its been put together piece by piece/frame by frame. You can see the love story evolving, but you can see easily that its staged, until...... the love making scene. This saves the movie, and save it, it does. It is beautiful and very well done. Its so well done, its not necessarily acting, cause the kissing especially is full on and you see tongues inside mouths, etc, and kissing each other breasts and full on nudity. Its explicit, but the 2 women are very beautiful too, which is better. If you are into erotic lesbian stories, I truly recommend it, but skip the first 15/20 minutes...maybe...

salingland If you are into romance that leaves you breathless, this is the movie for you. The two lead actresses Johanna Nemeth and Melissa Hellman are a delight to behold. The two of them have a chemistry on stage that is undeniable. The scenes leave you on the edge of your seats waiting for the next moment.Two woman come together in a time when being a lesbian was not talked about. The time is 1883, the women meet at a isolated inn on the ocean. They begin a friendship that includes lovely scenes of horseback riding on the beach, and quiet times together playing chess. There are scenes where each of them has a fantasy about the other that are so erotic that it leaves you undeniably aroused.I have had to buy 3 tapes of this movie because I will never tire of watching the love scenes that truly portray what love between two woman can be.... sensual, soft, erotic, sexy and over the top.Is this movie worth buying... yes a thousand times yes... it is the most erotic love story of two woman I have ever seen... except in real life (wink) ;-) Buy it you wont be disappointed... I can not wait for Nicole Conn's next venture... and if she needs any help we are so there....
