“As its blithe title suggests, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love is a coming-of-age comedy, a polished movie that resembles a lesbian version of Risky Business. One of the heroines is Randy Dean (Laurel Holloman), who looks boyish and is the subject of pointed gossip by other girls at her high school. ‘Did you hear about her family?’ one of them asks. ‘They’re, like, all lesbians there!’ They are. The film loads its premise even more, with every possible racial, sexual and economic conflict.

“The first feature written and directed by Maria Maggenti, Two Girls exists in a place where almost everyone is gay or potentially gay, a mirror-world of most mainstream movies. But having established that world, Ms. Maggenti leaves politics behind. With great confidence, wit and charm, she builds a universal story about first love, adolescent rebellion and sexual awakening.” – Caryn James, The New York Times, June 16, 1995
