This movie has a great idea in that it is supposed to be about two young actresses who fall in love for real when they play as lovers in a movie. But that is not what is advertised. Instead we are told that it is the lesbian love scene itself that actually turns them into lovers. It was why I was reluctant to go and watch. To make the most of the advertised sex scene the movie opens with the scene itself and it is on the cover and in the trailers. Yes, we are promised a hot spicy lesbian love scene that will turn two women into lovers. Two scenes even, for the movie is actually about a reshoot of the first scene. And the effect is more or less the same. You see, that is what lesbian sex does to girls. Perhaps even to straight girls? Parents protect your daughters!What would be next is a guy who will tell them that a real guy(he himself) will turn them into straight girls again because all they need is some good straight hanky panky to make them see the error of their ways. It never hurts to have a good old straight shag to fix things.The problem however isn't this misused promise of a lesbian sex scene, but the incredibly slow pace of the movie. You see, the two lovers had a falling out, but darn now they have to reshoot that particular scene! Drama ensues... very slowly. Very very slowly.It could have been a great movie, but instead we get long slow scenes in which the crew is followed setting up for the scene where such things are discussed as why the wall is missing or that the movie needs to be less heavy. It was probably interesting for the movie crew to see themselves in action but I found it irrelevant for the story and boring to boot. Even worse however is the bemoanings and recriminations of the two actresses. Like little spoiled brats they have to be talked to by the director all the time to get them to do the bleeding scene. But no, their interpersonal struggles cannot be set aside but have to be addressed and solved right there and then by the director turned relations councilor. Of course, none of the actresses ever thought of taking a friend or otherwise trusted person with them or deal with the thing in a professional or grownup manner. No, no no. We have to see this drama unfold.If you like very slow drama that has people bemoaning their plight, this is the movie for you. If you instead had hoped to see a movie about a lesbian relation that develops with it's up and downs, as was promised, you might be disappointed by the result. It would have been great to allow people some insight and understanding of lesbians, but this isn't that movie. In fact it wouldn't have interested anyone if this love scene had been a straight one. Making a love scene lesbian does not make a movie less boring or better.

When I read the synopsis for this movie, I expected a slow, sappy TV movie. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a good script, evenly paved with great direction that was well shot and well cast. I'm glad Marina Rice Bader appears to be moving toward writing and directing. She even stars in this, which is usually a deal-breaking no-no for me, but she's great in front of the camera - and really this role begged for it.I actually wish this had been a series. I felt there was a lot of mileage to be had from these characters, it was almost a shame to wrap it up.

most lesbian romance movies tend to focus on just the sexual aspect of the story and disregard the real emotional and human aspect.Anatomy is able to avoid that predictability by instead pitting two women with negativity with regards to each other and shows how despite their indifference and anger at each other, the feelings are still real and still there. despite taking place in less than a day, its portrays the angry, resentment, and passion between the two characters surprisingly well. and after showing all the anger and hate, it also gives the audiences a glimpse into the love that exists underneath it all in the ending sex scene.it also devotes the movie to the post-breakup phase, a time that is generally not given this much emphasis in romance movies and thereby allows the movie to have a sense of originality to it.

Follow me, won't you please, on a visual representation of this movie. You're in for quite a treat. First look at me. I'm staring off into space. I'm contemplating something-- you don't know what-- but please, look at me staring off into space. Now find an open space nearby and walk in circles for two or three minutes. Tight, little circles. Over and over and over. This is the plot, ceaselessly turning itself over, never moving, never advancing, never containing motion.Now look back at me. I'm still looking into space. Watch me for a minute or two. Now go and walk back in circles for ten minutes.Hey look- a nipple!Now look back at me. Yup, I'm still staring. Is the movie still going on on? Dear God, really? Okay then... let's continue.Walking in circles, aimless staring. Walking in circles, aimless starting. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate character development (that's clearly what they were focusing on here) as much as the next person. I can understand a directors desire to focus on a relationship or two and examine them deeply and complexly. But you HAVE to, you HAVE to mix that with scene and plot movement. Not to do so in a 80 minute piece is abusive to the audience. Do not watch this movie. Do not waste your time. Now look back at me...I'm still staring off into space.Now go walk in circles.
