A tale as old as time; father, daughter and stepmom are on holiday visiting the Greek island of Lesbos. The daughter keeps teasing a married fisherman to elicit an amorous response . Meanwhile the stepmom is getting jealous because she wants the f̶i̶s̶h̶e̶r̶m̶a̶n̶ daughter all for herself since they have a very "special relationship" (wink wink.) And the dad? Dad is blissfully ignorant of the whole ordeal. He is actually very amused that his daughter is developing an interest in boys and even encourages her in her romantic endeavors (you know.. the usual father-daughter movie dynamic..)
Lesbian August is a Greek thriller with a flair for the melodramatic; it felt as if I was watching a soap opera at times. There is jealousy, backstabbing, psychological warfare and even murder?!
Although it has many trashy moments it's never full on exploitative.
Fun messed up love triangles on a Greek island. Has a really good psychedelic-leaning soundtrack and some unintentionally(?) hysterical scene transitions. The ending is a bit of a letdown but overall it's not a bad time!
Personally I think lesbians ought to be allowed to commit murder.
A warning to anyone who may watch: the ending is extremely disappointing.
But the opening 10 ish minutes are amazing.

Police told a group of lesbians to leave a gay pride march in Cardiff after an officer was filmed telling the gender-critical women to step aside due to 'confrontation' with a transgender marchers and their supporters.
The activist group ‘Get The L Out UK’, which 'stands against transgenderism', shared footage from yesterday's Cardiff Pride event.
In the clip, two rival marchers can be seen shouting at each other on St Mary Street during the LGBT march.
Organisers of the event, Pride Cymru, have since claimed the lesbian group - seen displaying banners reading 'transactivism erases lesbians' and 'lesbians don't like penises' - had 'interrupted' the march, and were not officially registered to attend.
The police officer can be heard saying to the women they are 'causing confrontation between different groups of people'.
He said: 'At the moment, your march, this group of people is causing confrontation between different groups of people.'
Women are then heard replying 'we're lesbians, it's Cardiff pride'.
The police officer replies, saying 'whatever you are... at the moment, is causing confrontation'.

It comes as 'gender critical' groups and transgender rights groups continue to clash - with LGBT+ activist charity Stonewall being dropped by the Government's Legal Department, the Cabinet Office and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the BBC, Channel 4 and Ofsted.
Public bodies including the police and NHS, as well as private firms, are facing pressure over their association with Stonewall, following growing awareness and concern over its ideology.
In July, the controversial charity and lobby group faced huge criticism for a tweet claiming children as young as two can tell if they are transgender.
'Trans ideology' and the concept of self-ID, which promotes the belief that anyone - regardless of their sex at birth - should have the right to determine their own gender without medical intervention has sparked huge anger over male-born trans women having access to female-only spaces like changing rooms, toilets and refuges.
Vocal opponents, like Harry Potter author JK Rowling, 57, have been repeated targeted by trolls over their views.
Last month, it was announced that the NHS's controversial child transgender clinic will shut its doors after a damning report found it was 'not safe' for children.
Instead, the gender identity service at Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust will be replaced by regional centres at existing children's hospitals, which will provide more holistic care with 'strong links to mental health services'.
During yesterday's event, ‘Get The L Out UK’ were holding banners that said 'transactivism erases lesbians' and 'lesbians don't like penises'.

A police officer told one of the women: 'To make sure you're safe, we are going to remove you from the road'
He adds: 'To make sure you're safe, we are going to remove you from the road'.
A woman replies, stating: 'I want to make sure that I understand that you're removing lesbians from an LGBT march.'
The officer confirms that 'yes, that is what's happening.. for safety, for your safety... for other people's safety — that's why I'm doing it'.
The woman replies, saying: 'you should be able to protect lesbians in a pride march'.
The officer adds: 'We can have further conversations about reasons why, at the side of the road, because otherwise you are going to be removed from the road'.
The video has sparked an online row about the decision, as Get The L Out UK was not a registered member of the parade, and had 'crashed' the event.

'At the moment, your march, this group of people is causing confrontation between different groups of people,' the officer said
'If they need protection for their own safety, then the police should march with them and protect them,' one commenter on Twitter said.
'Lesbians. In danger. At a Pride march. And the police tell *them* to get out, instead of dealing with those who are doing the threatening. What has Pride become? What have the police become? I can hardly believe what I'm seeing,' another person said.
Writer Andrew Doyle added: 'The police removing lesbians from a pride parade. The pride movement no longer supports gay people.'
Activist Laurence Fox said: 'Anyone still in any doubt that #PRIDE has anything whatsoever to do with Gay and Lesbian people? The woke virus feeds on minority groups as cover for it's insidious, nasty and divisive political agenda. It didn't work with Build Large Mansions. It won't work with this either.'
Former professional tennis player Martina Navratilova shared the video, adding: 'This shows just how ridiculous and sideways things are going in our LGBT community. Erasing the L…Wow…misogyny is alive and well.'

Author Julie Bindel added: 'When I came out as a lesbian in the 1970s it was pretty tough. The misogyny was off the scale, and men would shout at us about how all we needed was a good f**k. Police were rarely sympathetic when we were victims of bigotry and abuse. Thank god those days are over. Oh, wait....'
However another questioned: 'If you want to 'get the L out' why go to an LGBT event?'
Welsh actor and LGBT+ activist Scott McGlynn said he is sad the confrontation happened at yesterday's event
'Most women and lesbians cheered when you were moved on. You don’t represent their majority view. You attended solely as an anti-trans group,' a third person said.
Welsh actor and LGBT+ activist Scott McGlynn celebrated Pride yesterday. He said: 'I feel disappointed this has happened it’s a day we all come together as a LGBTQ+ community celebrating Pride together as a family.
'All the organisers and volunteers at Pride Cymru has worked very hard for months putting this incredible celebration together for all of us and it sad this has happened its no place for hate, we stand together with and within the LGBTQ+ community.'
'Removing homophobes and transphobes from Pride is good,' someone else added. 'Even if they themselves are LGBT Homophobes and transphobes are not welcome at Pride as it is a protest against that very thing'.
'They were removed because they went there specifically to spread hate about trans people,' a further commenter said. 'But of course you are using this to make it seem like the opposite, in order to further hurt the trans community. Because you’re not a good person.'
Chair of Pride Cymru, Gian Molinu, confirmed that Get The L Out UK interrupted the march
Another added: 'They were removed because they stood in the road and stopped the pride parade from continuing, not because they were lesbians. It was because they were disrupting the event.'
Chair of Pride Cymru, Gian Molinu, said: 'Today's Pride Cymru parade was all about celebration and LGBTQ+ rights.
'Despite a small group of people interrupting the march, they were drowned out by shouts of solidarity and the community and spectators. There is no place for hate at Pride.
'And as our parade said today loudly and clearly, "trans rights are human rights".'
A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: 'We worked closely with the local authority and Pride Cymru to facilitate a march through Cardiff City Centre on Saturday, 27 August.
'During the event, officers were required to engage with a small protest group who had assembled themselves on the route to block the procession.
'To ensure no further disruption to the event, officers asked the group to move to an alternative location nearby which they agreed to do.
'Officers explained why they needed to move, provided guidance about protesting lawfully and offered to facilitate a lawful protest.
'The group was cooperative and left the area shortly after.
'Contrary to some social media reports, nobody was arrested or forcibly moved by officers.'
