Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Journey
The Journey (Sancharram) by Ligy J. Pullappally is, by far, my favorite lesbian movie ever. It is a very sensitive love story between two women living in a country where this kind of affair is totally unacceptable. Ligy J. Pullappally beautifully sets the scene for the romance between these two young girls.
Rating: - Daring and beautiful
'Sancharam' is a small gem in Indian cinema; it might well go unnoticed by many, and indeed, given its subject, there might well be a conspiracy for its erasure. For the movie is a daring look at same-sex desire, and unlike Deepa Mehta's 'Fire' - whose failures, for this reviewer, lay in not allowing lesbian desire a discourse of self-legitimacy - this movie speaks of women's desire as a matter of choice. Here are two girls falling in young love, not because of a bad husband, or a failed marriage, ... Read More
Rating:  - Leaves you longing for what it could have been . . .
If you've watched "Fire" directed by Deepa Metha, and are expecting "The Journey" to be something that could begin to transcend the beauty and depth of "Fire", then you will be sorely disappointed. While the actresses were beautiful to watch, this movie left much to be desired. The story was choppy at best and did not flow well at all. I have never had a problem with subtitles as long as the story moves me, but at the end there will be too many unanswered questions that you're left with. There simply ... Read More
Rating: - The classic Indian film turns lesbian!
Like the controversial and mesmerizing film "Fire," "The Journey" captures a love story that few Indian films ever have. It's a compelling and beautiful story of two young women -- two childhood friends raised in a village that thrives on tradition -- who fall in love. With beautiful scenery, a provocative
look into the conflicts of love and cultural tradition, and a simply touching tale of two people falling in love, "The Journey" is a most-enjoyable watch.
Kiran and Delilah are both stunning ... Read More
Rating: - "Krishna, You Do Not Know Me" ~ Transcending Country And Culture
Note: Hindi with English subtitles.
A timeless tale about two souls that awaken to love but have the misfortune of being of the same gender in a country and culture hostile to such "unnatural feelings." Kiran (Susahini V. Nair) and Delilah (Sharauiti Menon) are two naturally beautiful, exotic young women with the most expressive, enchanting faces ever captured on film. They are absolutely magical together.
My favorite sequence in the film is Kiran's mystical dream of Delilah dancing ... Read More
