1. 55. Trigger My watching of this film will teach you all a valuable lesson: read the brief synopsis carefully. When I decided to watch this, I skimmed over the brief synopsis and thought it was a documentary about lesbian ex-druggie band members trying to figure out if their relationship was worth saving. Sounds great, right? Right! So then it started and it was a definitely a film, not a documentary, so I said “Okay, it is a film about lesbian ex-druggie band members trying to figure out if their relationship was worth saving.” Then it hit me, about half-way into the movie, that not only had these two women NOT boned, they weren’t even lesbians at all. Boy, was I let down. It isn’t that this movie is terrible. It really isn’t. It has some great parts in it (Vic’s speech about deciding to come clean, for example, and the portrayal of a trigger being set off for their respective addictions) and Tracy Wright, who played Vic, was amazing, considering the fact she was under-going chemotherapy at the time of filming (this was her last role). It just is…kind of boring. We get no kind of ending at all. Even the movie itself ends very abruptly, cutting right to the credits. It had a lot of potential (not just for the lesbian parts, but for two punk rock chicks being FUCKING AWESOME) and it just failed to live up to it. Also I am let down that there was not really any lesbianism at all. C+.
