i have to say i enjoyed Spider Lilies, no matter what other comments say. it was my first ever Asian lesbian movie and i was rather wide eyed. as part of Outtakes GLBT movie festival it was a breath of fresh air after watching Nina's Heavenly Delights which put me to sleep. BUT maybe because of my culture or upbringing, i found it rather disturbing that Jade (the younger character) was acting as if she's two years old and talking in that kinky childish prostitute voice, all the time not just on web cam, ugh! actually that's what she represented, not a woman and an individual but some male fantasy. the only time she looked somewhat real was in the love scene which was ridiculously short as if an afterthought. Takeko was a rather bland character but she appealed to me because she was more realistic that Jade. the plot could have been interesting, some imagery and drama but the execution of it less than inspiring and left me with a feeling of being skimmed over rather timidly. i would still recommend watching it if you want to see something not too mentally challenging and cute plus the girls are very pretty :)
