I have always liked to watch lesbian films for two reasons: First, I think women are beautiful, and women understand love better than men; second, these kinds of films make me believe in love more. Falling in love with a person, not being understood by the people around you, unable to tell relatives and friends, etc. What would it be like to suppress if not for love. So in these kinds of films, I always feel like there should be a gloomy background, the passing daylight or the midnight bar. The grief of a lover who is looking for nowhere.
I love Frankie, I love her downcast eyes, and her sadness. Sadness without reason is a disease. Maybe you and maybe I are both sick and can't find a cure. Many people love this kind of character, because this kind of character more or less magnifies the inner freedom and fear. We are all alone in this world. Sometimes the ugly things in the world make us not smart, we may understand, maybe we don't understand the so-called rules of the game. For some people, how important it is to find the support of the soul. Maybe that's why there is love. Those who grow up smoothly, mature and gentle, must have reasons for them to be so happy. But there are many people like Frankie, who made a wrong turn in their growth, were misunderstood and misplaced their emotions and became less happy people. Deviating behaviors, self-denial, and extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people are just trying to find someone who cares for them. Just like in the plot, Frankie's uncle and Sam's attitude towards Frankie hurts naked. The stronger a person is on the outside, the weaker they are on the inside. Because he cares more than others.
"Between the Lips and the Teeth" depicts the emotions very delicately, but perhaps because it is a British drama, it is relatively short. Many plots were too late to lay out, and seemed anxious. I'm not surprised by Sam's criticism of Frankie, or Frankie and Jay, but it all seemed rushed. Too many other details are omitted in order to focus on these flashpoints. Makes the whole film seem to be pieced together without a sense of completeness. By the way, the actor who plays Cat is really not suitable, the whole person seems to be out of the play, living up to the expectations of this play for this role.
