Sucker for Romance
If you have read any of the Lesbian Life movie reviews—and many thanks if you have—you will know that I am a sucker for romance and romantic possibility. That said I quite enjoyed this film.The story centers on Nina, who has returned home to Glasgow after her father’s sudden death. There is much for Nina to reconcile upon her return. She left rather abruptly, fleeing to London to escape marriage to a man she didn’t love. A cherished daughter, she was trained to follow in her father’s footsteps, to assume the role of lead chef at the family’s restaurant The New Taj. Nina learns that her father gambled the restaurant to pay off increasing debts and lost, forcing him to sell half the restaurant to Lisa. Nina must confront the most mesmerizing Lisa and convince her to take a risk on getting the restaurant and her life back on track.
