Anatomy of a love seen is beautiful film. It's a slow, deep and filled with enigma it draws you in from the go. The film is based around the love of two actresses who fell in love in a love scene. The film is based around the fallout of their relationship. The whole film shows them based re-filming that love scene and around the drama it creates.The main actors created a real sense of chemistry and it makes the film into this enthralling story. Sexuality is used to create a compelling and unique story but so familiar, the story of love.The anatomy of love seen is a amazing step back from reality and make you emotional. It might not be for everyone it not fast, there no action but what there is one of simplistic and compelling stories that is coupled with amazing acting a beautiful cinematography.

I rarely write a review, with that being said this movie is as real as it gets with true emotion and two actors who just have such great chemistry. Two very gifted actors whom I have not seen before as well as the rest of the cast and director. The movie is done with class and integrity, there are very few intimate love scenes that enhance the film even more. A film like this needs to garner more attention as it pulls you in with such emotion, Its not a movie you can watch just once and if you don't get the theme and find it uninteresting well that would be a shame, as the film puts it " Love is a high " and anyone who has ever fallen in love knows how wonderful and toxic it can be.

most lesbian romance movies tend to focus on just the sexual aspect of the story and disregard the real emotional and human aspect.Anatomy is able to avoid that predictability by instead pitting two women with negativity with regards to each other and shows how despite their indifference and anger at each other, the feelings are still real and still there. despite taking place in less than a day, its portrays the angry, resentment, and passion between the two characters surprisingly well. and after showing all the anger and hate, it also gives the audiences a glimpse into the love that exists underneath it all in the ending sex scene.it also devotes the movie to the post-breakup phase, a time that is generally not given this much emphasis in romance movies and thereby allows the movie to have a sense of originality to it.

Follow me, won't you please, on a visual representation of this movie. You're in for quite a treat. First look at me. I'm staring off into space. I'm contemplating something-- you don't know what-- but please, look at me staring off into space. Now find an open space nearby and walk in circles for two or three minutes. Tight, little circles. Over and over and over. This is the plot, ceaselessly turning itself over, never moving, never advancing, never containing motion.Now look back at me. I'm still looking into space. Watch me for a minute or two. Now go and walk back in circles for ten minutes.Hey look- a nipple!Now look back at me. Yup, I'm still staring. Is the movie still going on on? Dear God, really? Okay then... let's continue.Walking in circles, aimless staring. Walking in circles, aimless starting. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate character development (that's clearly what they were focusing on here) as much as the next person. I can understand a directors desire to focus on a relationship or two and examine them deeply and complexly. But you HAVE to, you HAVE to mix that with scene and plot movement. Not to do so in a 80 minute piece is abusive to the audience. Do not watch this movie. Do not waste your time. Now look back at me...I'm still staring off into space.Now go walk in circles.
