The problem with this movie is the same as many other wlw movies: the lack of connection between the two girls/women.
The storyline is okay(?) it was poorly written but it made sense at least. The kids were a pain in the ass and had no respect to their mother, it was so bad that they preferred to go away with the psychotic ex... choices i guess. At least at the end they reconnect with their mother-
I wanna talk about the two protagonists. Raven appears as a crazy woman but is actually a very sweet person and takes care of them. Kate... actually I don't even know what to say about her. I really like the actress but her character was kind of lame(?).
Their connection was the same as a beautiful connection between two friends. Nothing more. The sex scene had no sense, they knew each other since about 2 days and they didn't even take the time to learn something about the other person. They just woke up one day and decided to have sex. Plus it also ended so badly that the didn't even kiss at the end.
I gave it a 5 just because the idea was cute and some scenes were okay, but if it wasn't for the actress who plays Kate i would probably give it a 3.

It could have been so much better
Beautiful Story! Love Traci Dinwiddie
Whilst agreeing with a few of the more negative reviews here, I have come to claim my opinion on what I thought was a beautifully written and acted movie.
Without spoiling, the storyline centres around two women who ultimately find peace and serenity within themselves and each other. Raven, who has just gone through a trauma, and Kate a (what we can assume gay) mother of two.
I have to completely disagree with Raven being uncouth and wild, as when you see it through the eyes of a traumatised woman who is grieving greatly, she becomes beautifully sad to me. I think no one can judge on what they would do under such circumstances. And thus, I think Raven deserves more praise than she is currently receiving. Also, the performances from Dreya Webber was true and raw, so in response to comments saying it was miss cast I also have to disagree!
I have been a fan of T Dinwiddie for a short time, and became one after this film in fact. In no way do I think her performance was wooden by any stretch of the imagination. She quite in fact blew me away. (Also I think she's like the most beautiful person I've ever seen aha!)
Although, I will agree the love scene comes too early into their meeting and didnt have much of a building. However, I do think it was beautifully shot and wasnt too explicit (I feel in such serene films such as this, too explicit sex scenes just become uncalled for.) Also, some parts were a little far fetched like the crazy ex showing up for no more reason than putting in some angst!
I will rewatch time and time again. This is one 18 year old lesbian who is considered entertained!!
