Filly Films lets lesbian star Annabelle Lee take the director's chair for "Lesbian Lawyers", a straightforward and uneventful Sapphic tale given a generic title.
The four vignettes are set at a law firm run by lesbians, similar in premise if not content to Girlfriends Films' competing "Lesbian Legal" series. A good cast runs through the four vignettes, beginning with partner Nina Hartley sleep walking through her familiar seduction of youth routine, perpetrated on secretary Pepper Kester. It's not very dramatic, but merely older/younger action in time-honored tradition. Kester is currently making a comeback, crossing over to the mainstream in the upcoming feminist movie "All of Her".
Christie Lynn is applying for a secretary job, and partner Angela Attison interviews her and gives her a little of that sexual harassment we've all heard about. Both chubsters enjoy it, in a scene spotlighting no-name talent, of which it appears Christie hasn't got any call-backs in the four years since this baby was shot.
Sinn Sage, not very convincing in a lawyer role, has to put up with an uppity Australian client Taliah Mac, divorcing her husband. Their sex scene in a bathroom is uneventful and Mac is unattractive - so we get a wasted segment. Lee previously co-starred with Mac in a Sweetheart Video, so perhaps that's where she discovered this non-starter.
Finale has Lee stepping out from behind the camera for a threesome with Zoey Holloway and Jay Taylor which is certainly sexually diverting, if pointless. Lee adopts a plain-Jane, no makeup look for herself, perhaps to convince us that she's becoming a serious filmmaker and not mere eye candy.
Zero Tolerance, owner of Filly Films, gets a gold star for giving many of its talented actresses a shot at directing, but unfortunately this affirmative action program has resulted in routine or even sub-par videos, hardly the entrée ticket to bigger & better assignments.
