That was a great movie. I read the subject matter in the preview and thought...this sounds interesting. I can't believe this came out in 2005. Twelve years isn't that long ago, however...it fits right in with 2017. It was easy to fall for the main characters. I found myself being torn between wanting Rachel to remain with Heck and wanting her to be with Luce. It's a story of love. Just when you think you've found true love, life throws you a curve ball and complicates everything. In the end, everyone seems to end up where they should be.

The lily means... The lily means, "I dare you to love me." Ageless classic lesbian romcom. We haven't had anything quite as sweet as this since, really. Singlehandedly spurred the lesbian florist stereotype. It's so nice being able to just go always back to a movie that simply focuses on the love between people and doesn't place the adversity in lesbianism itself, in coming out or homophobia or tragedy.
