Lez Be Friends

About This Movie

Lez Be Friends is quite the quirky gem from 2007, directed by Glenn Gaylord, though the exact genre often feels elusive. It’s set in that vibrant world of 1969 Greenwich Village and played out like a 70s sitcom, which is both amusing and nostalgic. The laugh track adds an absurd layer, while those vintage commercials really transport you back. The pacing mimics those sitcoms we know, creating a contrast with its butch lesbian protagonist's experiences. It’s a fascinating exploration of identity and friendship, wrapped in humor. The performances have a natural feel, making it all the more engaging, even if it doesn’t always hit the mark. A unique piece of LGBTQ+ cinema for sure.

This film has had an uneven presence in collectors' circles, with early DVD releases becoming somewhat scarce over time. Its distinctive format and unique approach to storytelling make it a curious piece for those interested in LGBTQ+ themes within vintage media. Finding it in good condition can be a challenge, which adds to its collector appeal, especially among those who appreciate niche cinema from the 2000s.
