Pleasing My Boss (A Lesbian Office Affair #1)

Product Information

It seemed like we backed into it, like two people in a movie backing into each other, each holding a flashlight, afraid of something else in the dark.

Desperate to run off together, they hatch a plan to steal millions from Caesar’s bosses and pin the blame on him. Director Yorgos Lanthimos creates an incredibly lively, though insular, universe, toying with real events to serve as support and motivation for the interiority and conflicts of the film’s characters. Open grade books were supposed to be a bridge between teachers and parents, but often it’s more like disruptive missed-assignment push notifications. One partner wears a harness in which a dildo is placed, and this is used to penetrate the other person’s vagina, mouth or anus. For the gift of Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet together we must thank Peter Jackson, even if they don’t ride off into the sunset.

Part of the reason so many of us are unsure about how sex between two vulva-having people works, is because sex education is very heteronormative (meaning it focuses on straight/cisgender male and female couples and penetrative penis-in-vagina sex). Sometimes we’d growl under the covers and ask each other those things new lovers do, like could anybody else be quite as good at this as us?

It is through the tangled ties of a frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) with two other scheming and ambitious women — her close friend and advisor Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), and Sarah’s indigent cousin turned status-seeking chambermaid Abigail (Emma Stone) — that the story plunges into a maelstrom of unscrupulous behavior and unpredictability, that epitomizes the expression “palace intrigue,” as a nation’s fate lies within the relations among women who’ve succumbed to the complications of love. This feature documentary delves into the rich history of Canadian queer women’s experiences in the mid-20th century.Although less likely, chlamydia, HIV, hepatitis A, B and C and HPV – which causes genital warts - are still able to be passed on during oral sex. The star-crossed romance follows two teens, Kena (Samantha Mugatsia) and Ziki (Sheila Munyiva), who fall in love despite their families’ political rivalry. A satisfying blend of heart-fluttering romance and familial woes, Wu’s film is loosely based on her own experiences coming out to her traditional Chinese family. I remember exactly when we first started saying “I love you” — in bed, after a work party maybe three weeks after this whole thing started, with her husband texting and asking where she was — but I still can’t tell you whether either of us meant it. Difficult and mysterious, Lucy is Syd’s window into her glamorous world of eccentric bohemian artists.

Accustomed to prioritizing work and family over romantic bliss, she must learn not to let love pass her by. I felt abandoned, and relieved, and really just bewildered — like, what the fuck do I do in the Midwest now? Featuring a performance from “Twin Peaks” icon Joan Chen, the film follows Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a surgeon who meets and falls for ballet dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen).A bold vision set within the grotesquely aristocratic spectacle of early 18th century English royalty, “The Favourite” is a dark yet comedic tale of three dominant women competing for love and power, with reckless abandon. As both women make do with the hand life has dealt them, they discover passion in the shared struggle.

Desert Hearts” was the first lesbian movie that didn’t involve a love triangle with a man, or end in tragedy. Set in the 1950’s and in Reno, Nevada, it follows English professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) as she awaits a divorce and starts a new life. Brought to life by the careful genius of Phyllis Nagy’s script, the supple glow of Ed Lachmann’s 16mm cinematography, and two of the most extraordinary performances ever committed to celluloid (which isn’t to sweep old Harge under the rug where he belongs), Haynes’ Carol is more than just a bone-deep melodrama about a mutual infatuation during a repressive time.

Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2004, Alice Wu’s buoyantly charming romantic comedy became an instant queer classic, seamlessly balancing cinematic artistry with heartfelt comedy. The trio’s impromptu exploration of freedom, intimacy, and the conflicts inherent therein offers not just a compelling LGBTQ love story, but a powerful reflection on the rules we choose to follow and those we fight to defy.
