Finn's Girl
Dir: Dominique Cardona & Laurie Colbert, Canada, 2007, 35mm, 88 mins
Dr Finn Jefferies, a lesbian with a demanding career, finds her world
turned upside down when her partner dies and she is left to raise a rebellious
11-year-old on her own.
Finn's life would be busy even without a child - she's a doctor running
a clinic and a single lesbian re-entering the dating scene. Daily testing
her preteen limits and Finn's patience, Zelly questions Finn's role in
her life but when controversy erupts over the clinic and Finn's life is
threatened, "family" takes on a whole new meaning.
Gracefully balancing the intrigue of a mystery/suspense film with smart domestic drama, Finn's Girl delivers a refreshingly sophisticated, original story. --Kim Yutani, Outfest
Finn's Girl is an intelligent, well-acted, well-scripted story that wraps a routine crime procedural in matter-of-fact lesbianism of the most graceful kind. --Kelly Vance, East Bay Express
