Editorial Reviews

In this sexy and sassy story, Naomi pays the bills by directing lesbian porn. Her male bosses think her work is too gay; her friends think she’s a sellout. For comfort, Naomi confides in a secret online soul mate called Sugar. Then Naomi gets a chance to direct a popular and daring girl-meets-girl matchmaking show. She casts her bubbly pal Azusa, whose love life at home is suffering, and no-nonsense executive Miki, whose outlet by night is exotic dancing. When their scripted TV romance flares into some hot off-screen action, even Naomi finds herself caught in the flame. Directed by Desiree Lim, Sugar Sweet is the first Japanese film to be made by and about lesbians.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much sugar can cause you to crash, December 29, 2003
This review is from: Sugar Sweet (DVD)
I wanted to like it. I fell asleep. Even while reading the poorly written subtitles. Maybe that is the problem with the film... When you hear a character speaking for 30 seconds and yet the subtitle only says "yes, you're right" you know you're missing out on something. You simply can't blame the director or script writer for that. Blame the poor translation.

That said, I still don't recommend the film:
*I don't speak Japanese so I can't say whether the story-line would have been good in spite of the bad translation.
*I kept getting the characters confused, because I couldn't look at them long enough to know them because I had to keep reading the dialog. (Don't get me wrong, I usually have no problem following stories with subtitles...)
*It was just plain boring.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy, gross and not sexy, February 18, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sugar Sweet (DVD)
I hated this film. The women in it were not attractive or sexy, and the plot was incredibly stupid and misogynistic. This film is about a Japanese woman who decides to produce her own lesbian porno flick (after working in the straight Japanese porno industry for years with her misogynistic male comrades) and explores her interactions with the actress she hires to star in her porno film. This film had very unsexy and graphic sex scenes and unlikable characters. What's shocking is that this movie was actually produced by a lesbian ....

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not sweet at all., November 22, 2003
By 
This review is from: Sugar Sweet (DVD)
Sugar Sweet??? This film bored me to sleep. Just happy I did not buy it. The film tries to be sexy tries to be well acted and is neither. Just because it is a lesbian movie, did not make it good, and that is from a lesbian reviewer. Why there are few great lesbian films, I have not a clue. If you need to see a great lesbian film go buy A Family Affair, Lianna, Desert Hearts,Aimee and Jaguar, or even The Killing of Sister George(for old classic film value) ...but forget Sugar sweet...it is sour
