Randy is a rebellious, working class tomboy who works at a gas station. Evie is smart, well-off and poised to be a second-generation academic. Staged against a backdrop that could be anywhere in rural America, Maggenti’s film is about teens from opposite sides of the track who form an unlikely romance — and discover themselves in the chaos and delight of first awakenings. The film breaks from mid-’90s cinematic conventions — when there was no other such pairing of the narratively universal with adolescent lesbian experience. TWO GIRLS IN LOVE is a pioneering, uplifting and affirming work of queer cinema — made by a lesbian, for lesbians (and everyone else, too).
“Sensitive, funny, sweet and intelligently written.” —Curve Magazine “Firmly plants itself in a small Southern town…[telling] a story that quietly communicates the truth about how queer ladies are everywhere.” —Lisa Lamen, Collider
