A Cloudburst of Lesbian Romance

Today we are talking about the 2011 film staring Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, Cloudburst. The Thom Fitzgerald authored and directed film is about a lesbian couple who escape from their nursing home and head up to Canada to get married. Along the way, they pick up a young, male hitchhiker. It is reminiscent of the Netflix documentary “A Secret Love” (2020). The Fitzgerald film is among few who have received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Take a watch and let us know what you think.

But you guys aren't exactly Ellen and Portia.” Some highlights of this movie are: Excellent casting of Olympia and Brenda Not pleased with the artificial “golden hour” Never split the party Prentice’s impressive handstands Police officers vs. lesbians Stella’s dirty mouth Special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for helping out with our social media posts.
