Concussion-2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #111<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed July 15, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: B+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Concussion (2013), is a small, interesting, independent film that tells the story of an affluent Westchester County, NY housewife who is a lesbian.<\/p>\n

Brilliantly played by Robin Weigert, the woman is married to another woman and decides to become an escort for other women experimenting with their sexuality.<\/p>\n

On paper, it reads like it could be a comedy, but it is a character study and strictly a drama.<\/p>\n

The woman (Abby) has a seemingly happy marriage. Her wife is a high-powered attorney, and Abby stays home and raises the kids.<\/p>\n

But she is bored and conflicted in her marriage and something is missing. She loves her wife and they have a wonderful circle of friends, both gay and straight.<\/p>\n

They throw dinner parties and have a sense of togetherness.<\/p>\n

The escorting scenes are not what one might think. Very little sexual content occurs, but rather bonds can form between escort and client.<\/p>\n

I love the way no lesbian stereotypes are portrayed- both main characters are intelligent, attractive, and feminine.<\/p>\n

The clientele is not dangerous, trashy, or flighty.<\/p>\n

Concussion (2013) is not a lesbian film per se, but it’s a human film- anyone in a long-term commitment or anyone who admires a character-driven film will relate to this movie and it should be viewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
