Say, that company mission statement accompanying the trailers almost does our job for us! Girlfriends Films achieves its goals: foremost of which is to capture genuine, arousing lesbian sex acts (with plenty of kissing and afterglow cuddling). They also claim to be putting a stronger emphasis on romance, ambiance, costumes, interesting toyplay and higher production values. This volume is not particularly strong on any of the latter. LS5's scenarios are dumb as any hetero product; the locations just simple bedrooms; no costumes or toyplay whatsoever.

Frankly, while such elements are appreciated they are not missed. The sex is everything that it's cracked up to be! Unlike most hetero product, these Sapphic encounters are hardly filler material. Though emphasis is placed on an older/younger woman theme, repetition is not a problem. Each sequence has its own (pardon the pun) individualistic flavor. An opener with Courtney and Susan is pretty hard to beat, unless it's the meat.

The title's only drawbacks are tripod-bound videography (which too often wanders into softcore territory) and the manifestly unnatural tit jobs – although that may not be considered a liability with specialty customers.

Retailing: Gay and hetero couples; big boob fans.
