"This collection of lesbian shorts is varied in quality but worth the purchase price because of Amy Neil's autobiographical "Just Me." The 22-minute film is a skillfully woven and professionally done tale of one woman's quest to discover whether or not she was/is the only lesbian in her family. Although the Real Truth died with her great grandmother, there is a lot of evidence that is revealed through her courageous and thorough research. It's a must see!"
"Just Me?" - I laughed... I cried!!!

"This is a wonderful film, it's so funny and touching. It's such a lovely story of finding belongingness (is that a word? I'll ask Stephen Colbert!). Okay, I guess the real term would be a sense of belonging.
No matter who you are, you can relate to that desire to discover a special connection to the people in your life.... what a wonderful gift. I hope that everyone has the opportunity to see this film. It's really very special. You should especially try to see it at a film festival where you can see it with a large audience. I saw it at the San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the audience was so responsive. It should win every film festival."
