Concussion (2013)
8/10
This movie implies that . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . lesbians married to each other are sort of asexual unless they suffer a concussion. The movie begins with divorce lawyer Kate Abelman (Julie Fain Lawrence) and her wife, interior designer Abby (Robin Weigert) stuck in a routine of raising their two elementary or Pre-school children, taking care of the house, going to work, and working out (Abby is some sort of a fitness freak, running in her neighborhood, running on a treadmill, pedaling in a gym with a horde of other women on long ranks of stationary bikes, etc.). On the rare occasions when Abby "is in the mood" for loving, she wakes up Kate, who reaches over to get something started--but falls back asleep 8 seconds later! This story implies things would continue like this indefinitely, but Kate and Abby's son pegs a baseball off the corner of Abby's left eye so hard (WHO taught him to throw like this? = CONCUSSION's big mystery) she suffers a bloody concussion. As soon as her eye is healed, Kate takes "Eleanor" as her new sex worker name, and starts getting naked with any female who has $800 to spare. When the other Junior Leaguer soccer moms at her kids' school (in this case, it's lacrosse) start climbing in bed with Abby/Eleanor, things get complicated at the local grocery store.
