To Each Her Own
When it comes to movies, we're used to seeing the lives of dykes unfold in places such as Toronto, New York and Los Angeles-big cities where gays are part of the fabric of the community.But what about a place like Barrie, Ontario? This is the setting for this lesbian drama starring Hannah Hogan as Jess, a married, twenty-five- year-old woman who has no idea she's a raging dyke. Brought up in a conservative town and listening to her homophobic mom, Jess has buried her true self-that is, until she meets Casey (Tracey Rae). Jess, sneaking around behind clueless husband Trevor's (Shaughnessy Redden) back, begins a steamy affair with Casey. Yet Jess can't shake her internalized homophobia and, when she becomes pregnant, well, that puts quite a wrench in her coming-out plans.
Emerging filmmaker Heather Tobin's debut feature, sometimes raw and always compelling, brims with the angst of first love while tackling a concept that many dykes know all too well-the path of true love never follows a straight line.
