SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A playful, low-budget queer indie with direct address, faux-documentary texture, and a candid romance at its center; it shares Go Fish’s community-rooted humor and unvarnished conversational intimacy.
02
Why this pick
Its tentative adolescent attraction is observed with the same plainspoken warmth and emotional awkwardness as Go Fish, favoring everyday encounters and friendship dynamics over polished melodrama.
03
Why this pick
A buoyant lesbian ensemble romance set amid a visibly queer community, with dating missteps, frank sexuality, and a DIY independent spirit that aligns closely with Go Fish.
04
Why this pick
This warm, modestly scaled romance shares Go Fish’s mid-1990s queer-indie immediacy, humor, and interest in how attraction collides with the social worlds surrounding a new couple.
05
Why this pick
More polished but similarly witty and relationship-centered, it builds lesbian romance through smart dialogue, family pressure, and affectionate attention to a distinct urban community.

01 / THE STORY
Max is a young lesbian student in Chicago who has gone ten months without having sex. She and her roommate and college professor Kia are in a coffee shop when they run into Ely, a hippieish woman with long braided hair, whom Max initially dismisses. Max and Ely do end up going to a film together. After the film they return to Ely's place and, after some flirtatious conversation, they kiss. Suddenly a call comes in from Ely's (unseen on-screen) partner Kate, with whom Ely has been in a long-distance relationship for more than two years, which puts a bit of a damper on things.
