Lesbian Dramas

Found My Days of Mercy on demand and the two leads go back to playing lesbians. One might not think (Ellen Page's dad is on death row; friend of the family of Kate Mara ["Mercy"] was murdered) being on the opposite side of death penalty protests would be where you fall in love. Still ... overall good movie with much of the focus on Page and her siblings with the upcoming execution of their dad (convicted of murdering their mom). No happy ending execution-wise but the relationship is given a shot at the end.

The Children's Hour was on TCM and only saw part of it, including much of the rather melodramatic final reel (Shirley MacLaine's -- darn she looked good and acted well -- suicide was like "you knew this would happen" given how over the top things were). It is implied (and her character eventually tearfully admits she fears it) that she at least was really a lesbian. The play/film was as much as about the problems of gossip ruining lives and the characters as much as lesbianism. It was too much at the end but overall it was good.
