An HBO anthology film, this follows the lives of the various patients of a psychiatrist (Stockard Channing) as they handle things. Supermodel Elle Macpherson plays a lawyer who’s insecure about herself and unable to put her own personal life over her career. She agrees to go on a double date with a co-worker’s friend that doesn’t go well. She ends up sharing drinks with the other woman involved in the date, played by Kate Capshaw and the two find a connection.
They banter on walks and at a club before finally getting together and it is amazing. Macphearson reminds you why she was nicknamed “The Body” with her stunning curves, with the two mixing together by candlelight that adds to the already intense heat. It’s a truly amazing sequence where both women give their all.

This acclaimed 2013 French film stars Lea Seydoux as the blue-haired woman who catches the eye of a young student played by Adele Exarchopoulos. The two are soon connecting with each other and the movie explores their lives as lovers. The love scenes are raw and stunning, with positions you’d never imagine and shot with a feeling like you’re right there, hot and yet also intimate.
The actresses are obviously well into it as they go on, moving from the heat of initial lust to more comfortable as they become a couple. The movie follows their relationship through to its sad end but still hopeful for both women as they realize they share a connection that will never go away. It’s still a stunning achievement that provides one of the most realistic depictions of girl-on-girl sex on film while still working as a fine drama in its own right.
