Episode 68 – A Cloudburst of Lesbian Romance
Cloudburst
Today we are talking about Cloudburst, the 2011 film staring Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, Cloudburst. The Thom Fitzgerald authored and directed film is about a lesbian couple who escape from their nursing home and head up to Canada to get married. Along the way, they pick up a young, male hitchhiker. It is reminiscent of the Netflix documentary “A Secret Love” (2020). The Fitzgerald film is among few who have received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Take a watch and let us know what you think.
Molly: “Well, I know what lesbians look like. I mean, I’m not stupid. But you guys aren’t exactly Ellen and Portia.”
