The characters are all pretty loveable, there are a lot of good laughs

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2016

Verified Purchase

I wasn't sure about this film at first, but it really grew on me! The characters are all pretty loveable, there are a lot of good laughs, and a really impressive performance from the actor who plays Judy - hats off for that! Watch out for Judy's stage performance and the wonderfully biting way she sings 'I'm nooooooooot a f****** drag queen!' It is a delight! The whole film is great fun and charmingly romantic. It made me want to be 19 again to do it all again - only better! There are, however, some darker moments which highlight the consistent prejudice which still pervades against trans-gender people, and which fuels some acts of mindless violence and even terrorism. This is handled well in the film - it is grim, as it ought to be, demonstrating the bitter results of ignorance allowed to run unchecked, but while says what it wants to say, it does not over-shadow the general upbeat feel of the story.The soundtrack reminds me of everything that was NOT great about 90's music, but on the other hand, even that got more tolerable with every viewing and I ended up liking some of the songs. I recommend this film. I even wish they'd done a sequel! Enjoy!

Sweeter than Chocolate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2010

A much vilified Lesbian movie the cover of which is possibly pinned to the centre of each and every Feminist Lesbian's dart board from here to Northern Ontario and the sweetest, most heart warming thing to come out of Lesbian Cinema in quite some time.

Better Than Chocolate tells the story of two Women's blossoming love set against a backdrop of the wider queer community they form a part of and it is the depiction of this community that so angers many Women: Peggy Thomson and Anne Wheeler present an image of an inclusive community in which the old arguments of Sex Positivism and Trans and Bi Inclusion have been resolved and left far behind. This is a community which includes Butch Dykes, Bisexuals, Translesbians and any other group you could hope for in The Great Women's Bar In Heaven.

The emotional heart of this movie is the Pre Operative Transexual Judy (a fantastic performance by Peter Outerbridge) to who all the characters turn for advice but who hides their own private pain relating to their relationship with their parents and their love for Frances, the owner of the Lesbian Bookshop which one of the main characters works in. The delicate handling of this romance, in the end, gives more delight than the less interesting romance of the two (slightly boring) Leads and I found myself hoping that Judy and Frances had more screen time.

Add to this an open discussion of the use of Toys, Bi Inclusion and a sly dig at the infamous Canadian Anti-Porn Laws of the 1980s and you've got an intelligent, funny and charming film that even manages to be inclusive of Heterosexuals. All in all an utterly joyous affair in all senses of the word.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2015

Great film. Introduces us to some characters that films generally ignore or caricatures. Honestly and simply gives us a different angle on LGBT from the normal movie fare. It feels a lot like watch a play at a repertory theatre - it the best possible sense. Cosy and intimate. However I bought the dvd copy to replace a VHS copy and the dvd suffered from some quality issues in that it went a bit grainy at times - but if you buy it cheap then it is well worth a watch and you will re-watch it time and time again.

Disappointing

After all the hype I'm afraid I thought this was neither funny nor erotic.

A 'must see' for all young lesbians everywhere

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2016

Verified Purchase

This was the first openly lesbian film I ever saw and it's still one of my all time favourites. Will never tire of the body paint scene and will never stop smiling about the mothers' 'discovery'. Every young lesbian should see this film.
