Powerful, thought-provoking and relevant, director Bree Mills' True Lesbian not only packs a pornographic punch, but delivers a strong social message as well. Not content with simply offering up a standard girl-on-girl release, Mills has once again used her platform and her art to shine light upon the trials and tribulations of being a lesbian in a society just beginning to awaken and adjust its moral compass.  Highlighted are three featurettes—What Sets Us Apart, Show Me Your Room and Just Spend the Night—each of which frames a separate issue common to (and inspired by) the lesbian world ... and each of which is exceptionally well executed.

What Sets Us Apart finds Alina Lopez and Kendra Spade, both of real-life Mormon upbringing and the writers of the script, as young missionaries out in the field who are trying to reconcile their love and their budding, sexual feelings for one another with their conservative, patriarchal faith that would drive them apart. Facing separation and having but one last night together, they make the most of it in this heartrending and poignant sequence.

Show Me Your Room has Angela White seducing her wife's employee's spouse, Jay Taylor, and freeing up Jay's otherwise-constrained lesbian desires. Almost sensing Taylor's general desperation—which heretofore has been relegated to secretly watching girl/girl porn on her phone in the bathroom—White metaphorically unshackles her in a beautifully captured sequence in Jay's bedroom.

Just Spend the Night features an apprehensive, flannel-clad Khloe Kapri being talked into attending a sleepover with her sister's prissy cheer squad buddies. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe how things start out, which then go from bad to seemingly okay to worse for the ostracized Kapri. The sex in this scene—which is smokin' hot—involves Khloe and Gia Derza, and while the theme is specifically lesbian-focused, it has a broader, more general appeal as well, as anyone who has ever felt outcast, singled out or targeted will likely relate.

In all, this release is exemplary. It does not fall short in its sex, which is essentially a given when looking at its cast. But, conversely, the sex here is distinctly secondary to the production's overarching themes, which are compelling, socially pertinent and carried out to perfection. In a world more and more influenced by its pornography every day, more like this is needed.
