Jack & Diane

Falls short of everything
***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

This movie falls short on so many levels I don't know where to begin. Is it a love story or a monster movie? Neither really. The werewolf/monster is so poorly made it is laughable. The odd animations make no sense. (Hair moving in and out of what appear to be organs is plain weird but since the beast, when seen, has no hair why use hair symbolism to represent the monster?)

Okay, so we get it Love is a Monster. But this picture fails to bring that point home at any point.

The best monster element was the masturbation scene where she kicks the lamp off the end table with a clawed foot.

Switching and mixing up who might be the wolf in this film left this viewer completely confused as to who was supposed to be the monster in the relationship or was the relationship the monster?

The story idea had potential. Maybe someone should try turning it into a novel so we can actually experience all the bits that this...

1 1/2 stars for maybe the worst movie of the 2012
Although I've yet to see the concluding chapter of "Twilight," I can't image it would be any worse than this mess. Here we have 2 teen age girls, both with issues who meet, get friendly then bleed, vomit and cough up teeth on each other. I'm not sure if director Bradley Rust Gray was trying to make a horror film, but the film is horrible.

The horror element comes in often as Diane (Juno Temple, "The Dark Knight Rises") who also has an identical twin, has nightmares (which we get to enjoy) of some sort of monster (werewolf?) I couldn't quite figure it out. We see this growth of long hair, blood, teeth and internal organs mixed into the visuals. It never makes sense as to what it is or why she has the dreams.

Diane also seems like the needy, fair-weather lesbian, just there for the moment, whereas Jack (Riley Keogh, "Magic Mike") is the real deal. Butch in all ways. That's about it. Just 110 minutes with two sour-faced unlikeable young women. Not funny,...

Hmmmmm......
So I love me some lesbian romance movies and this one peeked my interest. I decided I wanted to watch it tonight. I have no clue how to take this movie, don't know whether I liked it or hated it. I did enjoy the romance between the two characters Jack and Diane. I did not at all know that this was a horror/romance movie, nor did I expect this movie to turn out the way that it did. In my opinion, I feel like they added a whole bunch of things that wasn't relevant to the flow of the movie. I'm not sure what was the significance of certain things that kept popping up at random times with no explanation to it, I feel like it took away from the romance and it was more of a distraction. I did get a WTF moment, which I'm not going to mention, but I was really confused through the first half of the movie, not that I had any expectations, I just wanted to see a lesbian movie and this one looked and sounded good, but wasn't sure at certain points what kind of movie this really was. I just...
