"WATCHING YOU contains eight lesbian short films that will certainly entertain you. Some are of a serious nature ("Dear Emily" and "Watching You") while others are fun and hilarious ("The Ten Rules: A Lesbian Survival Guide" and "Interviews With My Next Girlfriend"). I was pleasantly surprised of the depth and quality of each film. I highly recommend this DVD to others who enjoy good short films. Enjoy!"

"These are the best lesbian short films I have seen. "Interview with my Next Girlfriend" is hilarious and I would get this DVD just for that one. The namesake of the collection, "Watching You", is in a different language, so you have to read subtitles which is only a small distraction. The short titled "10 rules" or something like that is very funny, though I think they could have come up with some more creative "rules" (in the spirit of the "ironic but true" thing they were going for)."
A wonderful collection

"Wolfe Video has pulled out all the stops on "Watching You." The short films on this DVD were entertaining and funny. They were well made,the women in it are very attractive and the stories were realistic.The film "10 Rules to Being a Lesbian" was hilarious and sort of a newbies guide to lesbianism. The other film "Interview For My Next Girlfriend" was absolutely hilarious as well, where the filmmaker interviews all different sorts of lesbians and poses various questions to them and their answers are wildly entertaining. You'll be laughing. The longest short film in the group is "Watching You," which was touching and sensuous. I've never seen such a great collection of lesbian films as this one. All these short films are worth seeing"

"I, as a straight guy, just had to write a review. I found the short films touching and amazingly well-done. Definately for anyone who has a human heart. The themes ran the gamut from love-lost and new love found, these are universal human stories!"
Wow

"If only all lesbian movies or shorts could be as good as this collection, then lesbians would find more commercial success at the box office. I agree that the women were attractive, the plots were fun and the collection in general is one worth owning. Skip straight to the short called, "The Ten Rules: A Lesbian Survival Guide" which is located in the bonus section of the movies. That one will have you laughing out loud if you are familiar with the lesbian community and their quirks/stereotypes. Very FUNNY! The title short, "Watching You" is a little more serious and covers the topics of obsession, drama and real life. It is set in Israel (I think) so it gives a foreign-Middle Eastern lesbian perspective, which I have never seen on film. I highly recommend you purchase this dvd -- it is a rarity."
