Movie review - "Room in Rome" (2010) **

Two women spend the night together in a hotel room in Rome. They lie about their past, have sex, reveal the truth about themselves, have more sex, grow emotionally close, look up things on the internet, have some banter with a room service waiter, stare at painting, have some more sex, sit around naked a lot.

It's nicely shot - a very good room, with high ceilings. The leads are very attractive - Spanish Elena Anya, who has been in Almodavar films, and Russian (well Ukranian) Natasha Yarovenko - and the dialogue is mostly in English, albeit stiltingly performed.

I think the film aims for significance with the intercuts of paintings and dialogue and maps of old Rome. But it came across really as more a chance to show some hot lesbian sex.
