Tricia Vessey brings an appealing vulnerability to the role of Nel, the depressive model who blossoms when she discovers her lesbianism. All three of the young heroines are achingly beautiful Bonnie Root in particular shines as good-hearted Stream, the Vermont girl trying to fit in with her tragically hip Manhattan party girl friends. However, I saw parts of "Coming Soon" on late night cable a few years ago and have been waiting to see the entire movie. I'm not a big fan of teen sex comedies indeed, I'm probably the only person in the world who's never watched "Fast Times at Ridgemount High." I never got any when I was in high school, so I'm in no mood to see other people have all the fun I missed out on. But I, like the main character after her first sexual encounter, was left unsatisfied.
#Coming soon 1999 movie
For any serious movie connoisseur who likes movies like Shortbus, Fat Girl, well basically anything covered in IFC's "Indie Sex" documentary, it's worth a viewing.
But the way the movie gets to this goal misses the mark by a long mile. Women deserve to be just as satisfied as men, sexually and every other way. I am quick to applaud the goals of this film. In its execution, the movie relies on "clever" but stilted dialogue, over-simplified world views, giant leaps of imagination, and a very childish way of getting a point across, i.e.
Therefore the girls go on a quest to discover the pleasure of life, and learn that breaking the mold is the only way to find fulfillment. The Ivy League does not guarantee your a golden future, money doesn't buy you happiness, and sex without pleasure is cheap and meaningless. What the girls eventually realize is that these goals are completely hollow. That is, the only way to be happy is to get into an Ivy League school, get your wealthy parents to give you anything you want, and be a sexual beast with your trophy boyfriend. "Coming Soon" is a film about a clique of girls who essentially have been sold a lie.
