Loving Annabelle

Loving Annabelle - Forbidden Lesbian Love Story

Don’t Believe the Hype

Annabelle is a very bad girl and she has the tight kilt, killer tube socks, and streaked hair to prove it. My how she can drag a smoke. Misunderstood by the world, she seeks solace and a few other things in her older teacher Simone. Poor Simone! Repressed, closeted, in a boring and passionless relationship with a clueless guy, Simone is in dire need of therapy…instead she hangs with Annabelle.

Lesbians and Catholic School?

Raise your hands. How many of you went to Catholic school? So the statistics are true! The film takes place at – you guessed it – a Catholic school, where Annabelle’s mother, a prominent Senator, ships her in a last attempt to cure her wild ways. It is the school Simone attended as a young student, where she fell madly in love with her roommate, got caught, and returned out of guilt and a promise to her aunt who witnessed them. Perhaps, Simone wanted to ensure that other, young, impressionable girls wouldn’t follow in her footsteps? Nah! It was the guilt - those Catholics, I tell you.

Teacher/Student No Nos

Some may call this forbidden love, others, sex with a minor. You decide. As a new parent and a former teacher, I conservatively lean towards the latter – call me a red state girl. My head screams, “Boundary issue, boundary issue!” Don’t lesbians have enough issues with boundaries or so my therapist and ex-girlfriends might argue?

Lesbian Fantasies? Your Homework

Ok, girls. It’s time for some new lesbian fantasies. The teacher/schoolgirl kilt thing is getting pretty old. This film had me practically yawning at the DVD cover – “One Student. One Teacher. One Secret.” Hmmm, I wonder what this film will be about? Your assignment – dare to make it new! No more forbidden love. No more lesbians rolling around in chocolate. No more lesbian triangles/rectangles/hexagonals. No more Ann Heche. Let’s get creative and wondrous and sinful and delicious and reflective about the movies we desire to make and see. Action!

My Rating: 2 stars – There is some degree of heat. Just some.
