“Clementine” Is Lara Jean Gallagher’s First Promising Lesbian Movie

Lara Jean Gallagher wrote and directed a lesbian drama film entitled “Clementine”.

Although the film on paper seems interesting, even intriguing, the relationship between the two women lacks substance.

But this is Gallagher’s debut as a filmmaker, so we will forgive her for her lack of experience.

“Clementine” was virtually released on May 8, 2020, on Oscilloscope for North America after a world premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.

The story is about Karen (Otmara Marrero), a lesbian living in Los Angeles who is struggling to recover from a complicated breakup with her cheating ex D (Sonya Walger).

She sets out to escape the city to find both their shared dog and her ex’s idyllic lakefront home in Oregon.

But her out-of-town retreat will be interrupted by Lana (Sydney Sweeney), a mysterious and attractive young woman with big-city dreams and whom Karen can’t seem to resist.

Some parts of the film certainly lack substance, as I told you, but the story is still pleasant to watch.

The cast’s performance, especially Sydney Sweeney (The Handmaid’s Tale), Katy Jarzebowski’s music, and the sets are exceptional when taken separately.

I leave it to you to judge the film, which already has the merit of being there and represents a promising debut for Lara Jean Gallagher as a filmmaker. Here is the trailer:
