There's nothing mainstream about it. Reminiscent of independent productions like GO FISH, where we have a lesbian writer, lesbians and trans people playing lesbian and trans characters, and the scenarios and jokes are very very funny to someone in the queer women's community. Portrait is also unabashedly displaying Toronto as Toronto which is so refreshing, as the city is often a seen on film as a cheaper location to shoot as Chicago or New York.
It will be interesting to see if Portrait attains a cross-over appeal to more mainstream audiences. The commitment-phobic lesbian, the sickly sweet co-dependent female couple are lovingly satirized in this film and thats really connecting with queer audiences. However the dating behaviour seems very urban as well and serial monogamists are everywhere!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fairly decent movie I thought. I, myself, am not a fan of people talking into a camera to an audience. Other than that the acting was great, it was a silly and heart-wrenching movie. The ending was a cliche, but it brought everything together. Expand
