The Watermelon Woman Reviews

I LOVE LESBIANS
if anyone asks me my favorite movie i say this and ironman 2. genuinely one of the best movies i have ever watched and i do rewatch it constantly

No because Guinevere Turner who plays Diana is literally one of my professors. Girl is drop dead stunning omg. Such a slay wow

I loved the style of this movie and how it captured the characters lives. Very genuine feel overall.

watched it maaaaany yrs ago i dont rly remember liking it but not so sure(not planning on rewatching tho)

I enjoyed this film and how it shows the importance of black history, specifically in the film industry. Cheryl, in the beginning, focused on Fae's relationship with Martha rather than Fae herself and what made her exceptional. I understand being surprised at seeing another black lesbian in film, but Fae wanted to be known as an actress who worked hard to get where she was. I'm glad she showed that in her project.

Yeah, the black lesbians knew what they were doing with this one.

important and immersive.

cheryl dunne became the first out black lesbian to direct a feature film with the watermelon woman in 1996.

“Sometimes we have to create our own history”
“We’re lesbians Cheryl remember?”
WOW this movie felt really authentic and real the interactions and conversations were all very interesting. I liked the project that was going on too even though it was fiction. I enjoyed it 7/10🍉

i couldn’t connect with these lesbians, sorry

A must watch

amo amo amo quero mais

Loveee this. Obsessed with the style going back and forth between the documentary and the rest of the story. So good

important movie, interesting form.

Very interesting.

I liked how it was put together, the documentary aspect but a little story on the side as well. It keeps you on the ground.

This type of documentary is important. We have to know and remember who paved the way.

SO good you feel so connected with the characters and immersed in the movie. it was very very good

Brilliant. One of those films that you just have to see.

Cute and camp. a black queer historical staple

so cool
