Synopsis

Jill (Susie Porter) is a twentysomething private investigator called up by a pair of distraught parents to find their missing daughter. The trail of the missing girl, an amateur poet, leads lesbian Jill into a strange world of sleazy literary wannabes and straight into an affair with libertine poetry professor Diana (Kelly McGillis). Australian Samantha Lang (THE WELL) directed this thriller based on the erotic mystery novel by Dorothy Porter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Australian Thriller, 21 Jun 2004
Jill Fitzpatrick (Susie Porter), ex-cop turned unsucessful private investigator is hired to find a missing girl, Mickey Norris. The girl, a student of poetry in Sydney, has been writing some disturbing work leaving Jill more concerned as to her whereabouts.

Jill gets drawn further into the close-knit poetry community, becoming involved with Diana (Kelly McGillis), Mickey's professor. The film is a little obvious at times but the filming and dialogue makes up for this.

Includes graphic sex scenes between Jill and Diane.

Definately one of the better films with a lesbian theme on the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars truly awful, 6 Aug 2006
I'm LOATHED to give this 1 star but you can't seem to rate it with zero stars...hmph. Anyway, the lesbian sub-plot of this film if basically just there for titillation, God only knows WHO exactly they were trying to titillate though! It was pretentious, unconvincing, and like the protagonist's sex life, utterly dissatisfying. If you're looking for a film which realistically portrays lesbianism, or even if you're just looking for a crime thriller, please, do NOT buy this film. It's nothing but an arty Basic Instinct, which just goes to show, you can't polish a turd...

1.0 out of 5 stars save your money, 9 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I wasn't expecting too much from this film because like most film in the lesbian catagory it's main selling point is that it has lesbians in it and therefore it seems acceptable to not bother too much with good plots and good actors. This film just about lived up to my poor expectations, the acting wasn't great, the sex scenes were a real turn-off because the characters and excessive body hair weren't that nice to look at and the plot was decidely un-interesting. Buy Tipping the Velvet instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars I watched monkey mask three times!!
Kelly mcgillis.....what a sexy, classy woman! Like a good bottle of wine, she has increased in flavour. From top gun in 86 to monkey mask in 2006....I preferred the latter. Read more

This does no good service to the genre of lesbian themed films. Slow and unmemorable

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting...
An interesting film, since there are only a few of this kind. It seems that is hard to convince the viewer in the beginning but as it runs it gets better. Read more
