DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
It's great. It's amazing even. All for the ending to go exactly how you'd expect. Extremely and excruciatingly predictable and infuriating. As is with every single lesbian film in existence. I fell SO in love with this couple and you just had to destroy it like every other person who thinks they're capable of putting together a good movie. Well you're not. You should retire actually.
Can we not get one happy ending? I don't care if the movie is set in a long ago time period.
I DO NOT CARE!!!
What i want, and what I'm sure every women who swings that way would want, is a happy ending for once. Is that so much to ask for?
Yes we all love a good tragedy but you seriously couldn't be the one director to give us a lesbian movie with a happy ending?
I'm sick of it. Stupid movie. Stupid ending. In fact, I now have a personal and deep resentment towards everyone involved in the making of this film.
With ZERO respect, you and your movie can burn.

Spoilers: A portrait of the joy and captivation of an unexpected but welcome new, fresh two-women love, with the ironic sad realization that such could last only in some world to come, not in rural New York state of 1856 in the patriarchal society where women marry young and are expected, no commanded by husbands to place work, duty, responsibility, obligation not just first but only, despite what women's dreams, imaginings, goals might be. The men even quote the Bible to impress on wives what they should be doing. What is stunning is Vanessa, with a beautiful shock of long red hair, that firm and sexy voice of hers, her own mind, a self-assurance and an aggressiveness toward what she wants, if nothing but gentle and caring toward quiet and reserved Katherine, the smart, well-read, dependable, thougtful and resourceful woman who takes care of whatever needs done with a kind of devotion to excellence. But the women meet, as neighbors, and soon they are best friends, considerate, helpful , generous even lighthearted toward one another. Until that day, the day when friendship is not enough, and Vanessa, who is childless, haltingly, slowly moves right up to Katherine, who has lost a young daughter to illness, and they haltingly, hesitatingly kiss, finally passionately, and it moves their relationship toward where they both want it, as neither can believe how they feel and how that cold void in their hearts, heads and souls now feels full, as they had been in marriages with no warmth or affection, leaving them somewhere between automotons and zombies. This world that has come moves Vanessa's husband, not an explicit explanation by the women given, to move himself and his wife 80 miles away with not even a goobye. We see where this is going, and it ends in disaster for Vanessa and heartbreak of love for her and joy lost for Katherine. This is not some lesbian tome, but rather a portrait of two women gravitating toward something bright and beautiful for both, after long years of feeling unsatisfied, repressed, suppressed, oppressed and depressed, as they were that world out of the darkness to come for one another. Bravo to the cast for such fine and nuanced acting, especially the luminous, outgoing Vanessa, but also the nuance and longing of Katherine, the kind of rock everyone has depended on to take care of the details and get things done, though the unfair to women society turned the good they found into bad, a kind of female circumcision of mind where power and freedom to do what they want are just not allowed to women, particularly wives. Bravo to Casey for acting but also producing this.

The two female leads in this movie turned an otherwise predictable period piece into something really special. They had real chemistry on screen and truly brought the characters to life. I felt every emotion they depicted. The directing was great as well. Although I didn't expect much from the film when I first started watching, I ended up really enjoying it.

Diary entries and dialogues are so hearty. Well as far as this genre goes it's always the same. Cheers for a future we get to enjoy modern lesbians living free in cinema.

Excellent story in a world where man dominated and reality is presented in such a crude way but at the same time they give us that romance, I loved it.
