The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love

Randy Dean is a high school misfit who lives in what she calls "just a regular lesbo household." Evie Roy, her black classmate, is pretty, studious, smart and popular. Their unlikely friendship blossoms into love. Not without its awkward and clumsy moments, but the engaging performances helped propel this quirky and unconventional love story from a film festival favorite to mainstream theatrical success. (D. Liebenson)[DVD Review--May 18, 2004--New Line, 94 min., R, $19.95--Making its debut on DVD, Maria Maggenti's 1995 The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love still charms and here boasts an impressive transfer (especially considering that--as we learn from the informative director's commentary track--the low-budget indie was originally shot on 16mm in 21 days and blown up to 35mm) and solid audio (both surround and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks). Newcomers Laurel Holloman (playing Randy Dean) and Nicole Ari Parker (playing Evie) would go on to star in feature films and TV series (The L Word and Soul Food, respectively). Bottom line: a nice transfer, solid commentary, and modest price make this ‘90s indie fave a solid purchase.]
