The most significant lesbian film of the past 20 years, this comedy is refreshingly not about coming out, instead challenging head-on prevalent stereotypes about lesbians, without the stiff and sanctimonious tone of films like Claire of the Moon.

GO FISH is a witty, smart, and sensual romantic comedy about the trials and tribulations of a circle of lesbian career women and their girlfriends. When the young and fun-loving Max (co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner, AMERICAN PSYCHO) meets the frumpy and older, but sweet and shy Ely (V.S. Brodie) for the first time, it's hardly love at first sight. But with a little help from their matchmaking friends, the two women just may live happily ever after. This raw but sweet look at modern lesbian relationships made waves at several film fests and manages to channel its limited visibly limited budget into a funny, heartfelt tale of opposites attracting.

Reviews for Go Fish
The film's limited budget prompted some creative editing and filmmaking techniques.
Go Fish features a largely non-professional cast -- and there are too many scenes where the players' lack of acting ability shows. The result is a labored quality.
