Girl Play
2005-10-20
Girl Play is a film of realistically depicted lesbian relationships that
become complicated when the protagonists are cast in a play together. Robin Greenspan
and Lacie Harmon star as the actresses who deal with the confusion of deciding
where the affection of their characters in the play ends and their true personal
feelings for each other begins. They also had the job of adapting their original
play into this film. The ladies spend a good deal of time addressing the camera
with exposition-revealing monologues, giving Girl Play a two-woman-show
feel. While the monologues were a bit tiresome for the film format, Girl Play
was an enjoyable watch and the surprise casting of Dom Deluise as the play’s
director was a gas.
