Hooray for technology! Advances in digital video production/replication/distribution have had huge impacts on what we watch and the way we watch it. Most of the time, this leveling of the playing field means we’re forced to sit through what the laziest, most ill-trained porn producer can shoot (Ed Powers? Rob Spallone?). It’s one of the reasons Lezlove has me sit down and spill my brain onto a keyboard about the drivel me and my DVD player have to spend a lot of time sorting through (praise be to the >> and >| buttons).

Every once in a great while, we can be reminded that these tools can be used by people who actually care (passionately) about the material they’re shooting AND the audience they’re shooting it for. It’s the old adage that with great power comes great responsibility. Here’s to producers that actually want you to remember their videos after seeing them once… and maybe you’ll even watch them again.

I’d trade this new DVD from Bellezza for any ten DVDs released by a major studio in the last three years. You get two scenes, each with a bit of story, and what follows is something for everyone - good looking girls, some buildup, great kissing, and, of course, all of the explicit oral sex you’d expect in an adult video. The sex is shot tastefully, though, and without the gynecological garishness that’s typically done in amateur videos. All of these are produced/edited/presented in a very professional, almost cinematic way. You can’t help but be impressed with what you’re seeing, especially from a home-grown startup.

1) Buildup/Seduction: Cute little back stories are given to each vignette.
SCORE: 8

2) Kissing: Each scene has awesome kissing, and nice close-ups of it, too.
SCORE: 10

3) Attractiveness of Women: Each pair of girls looks great together, and yet are very different from the other.
SCORE: 9

OVERALL SCORE: 9

This one is just incredible; in some ways I found it even better than recent Viv Thomas releases (though it may just be that I have gotten overly accustomed to Viv's style). Anyway, this video greatly exceeded my expectations, and is easily one of the best things to come along in this vein in recent years. The women actually look much better on film than on the packaging, and the chemistry between the performers is off the map. And they seem much more at ease and able to act than is usual.

Two drawbacks, which could easily be remedied in future releases: first, the camera moves more than necessary and there are too many extended close-ups - a medium shot in which the faces of both performers are simultaneously visible should be favored more than the sort of gynecological close-ups we get here.

Second, more romance should be built up through the script: one of these scenes involves a woman hiring another woman as an escort, which is not a good set-up for the sort of intimacy that follows. These films should establish more mature and arousing relationships between the characters (even if they are not developed in detail).

But overall, six stars. This one completely rocks, and I can't wait for more releases from these people.

If you call yourself a fan of lesbian erotica, you should then buy two copies of this title. Believe me, one won’t be enough. This DVD is simply sensational. "10 STARS."

Seeker
Unaccustomed as I am to writing reviews, I am compelled to place on record that this film is superb. The high-definition film lends a clarity and quality to the production unsurpassed by other studios. This, coupled with the (albeit brief) storylines, gives this film the slight edge over an Abby Winters film.

The girls themselves are incredibly at ease with each other. In my personal opinion, the second pairing (Claudia and Sophie Strauss) is the better of the two, owing to the surrounding settings and the sensitivity that passes between the girls. The beauty of these two girls aspires to the heights of the actresses in Viv Thomas films.

Both scenes exceed expectations, however, due to the overall ambience they convey. The girls are plausible together and the scenes are credible. The film is thereby marking out a new path.

As a point of interest, the actress Sophie Strauss, who also goes under the name of Melisande, will appear in the forthcoming Viv Thomas film “In the Family.” She is exquisitely slim and adorable, and highly sexually charged.

As an executive summary: I strongly recommend this film.

When I put this DVD into my DVD player my first reaction was “WOW, what a gorgeous picture.” This DVD looks absolutely stunning on a plasma TV. The picture on this DVD is better than many commercial DVDs that I own. I wish more people would record in HD format.

That being said, I initially bought this DVD solely because it starred Nicole Scott, the cute redhead in the first feature. It was nice to see her in a role where she is one of the featured girls. The first scene was my favorite since it not only featured Nicole but it didn't use any toys. As Phathead noted, the close-ups were done in a tasteful manner and, unlike Wet In The Woods, the close-ups weren't footage that was simply re-looped. The DVD also has three bonus scenes.

The first scene contains a three and a half minute shot of Kimberly using her tongue and fingers to get Nicole off (fifth thumbnail). The second scene has footage of Claudia using her fingers and a green pocket rocket on Sophia. The third shot is essentially the same thing, except that it has Claudia getting Sophia off with the same pocket rocket.

Ironically, my favorite scene of the entire DVD was the bonus scene of Nicole and Kimberly. My only complaint with this DVD was the fact that this scene was only included as a three and a half minute bonus shot. Otherwise, if you own a widescreen plasma TV, this DVD is a MUST!

Kudos to Bellezza Video. This is an exciting amateur girl/girl production. May your follow-up features be as good, or even better, and numerous. Please focus on more of and/or girls exactly like Nicole and Kimberly: fully natural (full pubic hair, no razors), very amateur (not stripper-type pros), and excited about satisfying each other, kissing and orally.

The second scene of Claudia and Sophie was the opposite: shaved, pretending, staged, dildos! This scene made the film not worth buying or watching again. The only redeeming value was a side-by-side 69. The bonus scene with Nicole and Kimberly had only one fault: too short! The close-ups of hairy, sticky, wet tongue-fucking made the entire DVD worth watching over and over, and looking forward to others like it. Get more lesbo amateurs, take the razors away and turn them loose on each other.

I just watched this video again and realize that I was wrong in my earlier assessment of the scene involving Sophie and Claudia. It is amateur, not pro, nor contrived, nor fake. It is absolutely beautiful. It is among the sexiest scenes I've watched in a long time, and the girls seem genuinely aroused. My only disappointment was that they are completely shaved and use a vibrator some, but those are personal preferences. I hope that we have many more from this producer just like these two scenes. I still would like to throw away the vibrators and razors.

girlonthemove
Claudia and Sophie were very hot, and I have to admit, although I’m not a fan of the cameraman with a tight zoom fetish, it worked when applied. The lead-in stories were very sexy and nice, which made me grade this much higher. My only disappointment was that there was a little too much vibrator use, but that's a personal preference.

Fascinated
I agree with the 5-star rating and the overwhelmingly positive reviews already posted. All four girls are slender and good looking. One pair has pubic hair and the other is shaved, so both preferences on this score are satisfied. Both scenes have a good combination of kissing, breast sucking, and oral sex, including 69s. Both scenes also have their share of extreme close-ups of pussy eating. However, this approach was balanced with longer-range shots and plenty of views of the receivers' faces - again, something for everyone. There was no trib or analingus in either scene. While this is not an issue for me (I don't need these acts to appear in every g/g production), viewers who give them top priority will be disappointed.

I enjoyed Nicole and Kimberly more than Claudia and Sophie because the setup was more natural and the girls seemed a little more into what they were doing. I especially loved watching Kimberly for her cute body and adorable smile. This scene also benefited greatly from the morning-after sequence in which the girls wake up in Nicole's bed, act cuddly in the glow of what happened the night before, and proceed to have more sex.

The Claudia/Sophie scene suffered a little from the scenario of Sophie calling an escort. Aside from whether that was plausible, it was a bit odd that Sophie took charge by making love to Claudia first. It seemed more like pleasing a date than getting service from a paid escort, a role in which Claudia was not convincing. While this is a small criticism of the production, it was fine with me since I preferred a scene with two young girls who simply wanted to have sex with each other. And that is how the scene developed; after a few minutes the contrived setup faded away. Someone criticized the use of toys in this scene. I agree that it was not a plus and that something better could have been done, but it did not dominate the action and was not nearly enough to ruin the scene for me.

Christopher
Ten stars. Seriously. I have seen some pretty darned good films released from Lezlove in recent years, but this simply blows them all completely away. Viv Thomas? Erocktavision? All extremely good, but not in the same league as these two new films found on this disc.

The camerawork and the quality of the picture are unequalled. The seeming innocence and beauty of the girls is unmatched anywhere. The slow but perfectly-paced and BELIEVABLE seduction in both films is simply not to be found anywhere at any price by anyone. This offering raises the bar way above anything in the past. I am still astounded.

jsandraj
We loved this video, and can hardly wait to buy number 2, 3, etc. Both episodes were breathtaking, but we prefer more of Nicole and another completely natural, equally hungry nymph for another feast.

Lotus
This movie is a jarring combination of sweet foreplay and crude gynecological close-ups. The first shot of the vid is directly between the wide-spread legs of a masturbating girl. Nothing says crude, gross, lunk-headed smut like a shot like that to begin a movie. “Hey, check out this broad’s hole, Mr. Raincoat Man.”

Surprisingly, the scene that follows is very sweet, with lots of very intimate and tender kissing. This leads to some foreplay and then on to some oral. Once the oral starts, the movie flirts with becoming overly crude again. There are just too many close-ups of wide-open vaginas. And that’s how this movie goes throughout: warm intimate kissing - BIG SNATCH. Tender foreplay - BIG SNATCH.

I like vaginas and I like oral, but this movie is often just too heavy handed. There’s a good bit of 69, which I don’t care much for. It might feel great, but it just doesn’t look good. The girls’ bodies are in ungainly positions, and it seems like I’m staring up a butthole half the time.

Both scenes are very similar; I preferred the dark-haired girls just because I prefer that type. They’re both very pretty, but I thought one of them was exceptionally attractive. The lighter-haired girls did seem to have more of a genuine connection, though. The dark-haired girls seemed more like affable co-workers; they got into it and seemed turned-on, but they didn’t seem like real lovers.

The image quality couldn’t be better, and the movie is in widescreen format. Normally I can zoom a widescreen movie up to fill my non-widescreen TV, but this movie kept its proportions when I zoomed it. It would zoom in closer, but the black bars above and below the picture wouldn’t go away. Wide screen is great if you have a widescreen TV, but if you don’t, it just makes the picture smaller. I guess I should get with the times; I’m such a Luddite.

This was a GOOD movie. It has some very sexy kissing and foreplay, but too much time is devoted to pussy-gazing for it to be really great. I’m looking forward to this company’s next release.

Rating system: AWFUL, BAD, FAIR, GOOD, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT

Darla7
With all the hype and numerous favorable reviews, I was really up for this one... BUT where was the passion? If they felt it, they certainly were pretty laid-back in showing it. The continuous giggles of the house sitter were irritating, and both sequences would have benefited by more conversation rather than just going right to it. With the premises involved, this could have been so much better. Like LOTUS I wouldn't rate this any better than Good.

Quality Only
After all of the glowing reviews I was expecting a lot more out of this than what was delivered. There did not seem to be a great connection between the girls at all (especially the second scene}.

The first scene, with Kimberley and Nicole, had some nice moments, but was nothing special, and the second scene had NO chemistry at all. It was not for lack of effort on Sophie’s part. Both girls were very attractive, but Claudia seemed so disinterested it hurt to watch it. Lame peck kissing despite Sophie's best attempts. Claudia almost seemed high during this scene. It most certainly didn't come off as orgasmic bliss, if that was her goal. Just no chemistry at all.

I was expecting something like the first scene from Girls Seeking Girls 17, which has the best seduction and buildup I have seen in this genre. That 10 rating from the staff is really, REALLY questionable. Hopefully the second will be better, but I am a little nervous about its quality now. 2.5 out of 5 for the first scene and the attempts of Sophie Strauss.

Vercingetorix
I have to agree with the last few reviewers. I found this DVD pretty disappointing. The first couple, Kimberly and Nicole, has been featured several times on Sapphicerotica.com, and although I think they're both incredibly hot in the girl-next-door kind of way, there was a similar lack of passion in those shoots as well.

The lack of chemistry was painfully apparent in the second scene as well. Hopefully future releases by this company will improve. They definitely have the right idea, but they really need to work on the execution. I also hope that Kimberly and Nicole get it together and film a scene with enthusiasm and passion; they are both so adorable!

Lil' Devil
Good stuff. I've been a fan of Kimberly and Nicole ever since I first saw them on Sapphic Erotica. These girls realllly get into each other. The kissing between them is just amazingly passionate and sensual, and they know how to get each other off. No complaints on the kissing.

I was not as happy with the second pair, even though they are both very attractive. The chemistry was just not the same. I also did not care for the green pocket rocket. Please, let's leave the toys out next time. Anyway, the picture quality is exceptional, as has been noted already, and the overall style of the video is definitely more than I expected from a new company.

In both cases I thought the first vignette was better than the second, as both pairs of girls go through two scenes. The second one just seemed more raw and rushed.

Grade: B++

Recommended? Yes. It is an exceptional amateur video with pretty girls, great kissing and most of what we look for in a lezlovevideo.

Exceptional love
Claudia and Sofie were the best of the two sets. The chemistry was very apparent as well as very subtle and hot. The plot, though, may be a bit cheesy, but that does not distract from their desire for one another. Simply THE BEST.

BC
I give this one somewhere between a three and a four. The positions that the girls get into are often awkward. The fingering can be especially clumsy. I love spread-open vulvas, and this video has some great gyno photography! But it is not fly-on-the-wall stuff. After all the hoopla, I was very disappointed!

cc
I just bought #2, and consider this the far superior of the two videos. I think that this is good - not great, but good, and definitely worth owning. Now, the second one after this, that is questionable.

Anon in 'Bama
I both liked and disliked this video. The production values are excellent, there's some surprisingly good erotic creativity in setting up each scene, and the women are beautiful and natural. But on the negative side, Lotus is absolutely right in pointing out the multitude of crude gynecological close-ups that I didn't care for, but others here probably think are great. To each his own, I suppose.

1) THE HOUSE SITTER, with Nicole Scott and Kimberley Allure - Nicole has been away on a trip, and Kimberley's been watching her house for her. When Nicole walks in the door, she finds Kimberley fresh from the shower, wearing her (Nicole's) robe and panties. "Busted," she says, before proceeding to kiss and undress the girl. Not much of a seduction, but at least it was somewhat realistic in a playful sort of way. I liked the way Nicole took charge of her pretty friend, but I didn't care at all for the many legs-spread-wide-extreme-close-up-shots-of-orifices included.

2) THE ESCORT, with Claudia and Sophie Strauss - I really enjoyed the idea of an attractive woman ordering a pretty young female escort to her place for her to play with for the night. It was kind of kinky, and I also liked that Sophie somewhat dominated the pretty escort girl (Claudia), and also that Sophie was dressed in an almost masculine suit, rather than both women looking like hookers. What follows is some very nice kissing and breast-sucking. On the negative side, the sex soon devolves into I-do-you-then-you-do-me hardcore, with Sophie not paying nearly enough attention to her pretty escort girl's lovely behind.

Again, this one's got beautiful young women with beautiful bodies unmarked by numerous tattoos or piercings, along with some creative setups and solid production values, making this one a potential winner. But it's at least partially ruined by the crude gynecological show that too often follows. Overall, I'd rate it a "B" and hope they continue the creativity with less emphasis on the extreme close-ups. But that's just me.

Sophie Strauss
Just a note to all you viewers: this is Sophie, here. I'm seeing a lot of people complain about shaving, and the use of vibrators, and one person even said they didn't like 69!

From a girl's perspective, I will say that the shaving, although it is a personal preference, is usually preferred by other girls if they are going down on each other for several reasons. One, is there is an unobstructed view of gorgeous pussy, and it feels very nice to lick smooth skin, and two, there are no pubes caught in teeth or up the nose, which can cause minor but distracting problems like sneezing, or pausing to hack up hair that sneakily managed to get in the back of your throat. Both of those things often stop the flow of the film, and can ruin or alter the mood between the actresses.

And about 69 and vibrators, not everyone likes them, but if you're a girl, 99% of the time that's what feels the best! I LOVE vibrators! Some girls have a hard time cumming from only oral and light fingering, and isn't that what you want to see? Girls genuinely cumming?

I had one of the best damn times doing this film! Although I didn't like the lighting (too harsh) and the sudden and often disconcerting close-ups, but I loved it anyway. It was Claudia's first time with a girl, and first time on camera, and I'm very proud to be her first, and according to her, an enjoyable one too! Hopefully I'll be able to work with her again, since I'm much too shy to hit on her. :-)

Anne Sophie
Many kisses to Sophie Strauss! I loved you in the scene with Claudia. It's nice to hear you were her first girl, and I hope she will have many more girls in the future! You had the most intense orgasms with Claudia. I can't wait to see you in Bellezza Video 3 with Candy Elektra; I hear you give Candy a tremendous orgasm and I hope she does the same to you! Candy definitely proved that with Victoria in Bellezza Video 2; she did wonderful tribbing, too.

The one thing I missed seeing in Bellezza Video 1 was a little analingus; I hope Omar will ask all of you lovely girls to give it a try. Please, Omar! And keep showing these adorable girls from the Pacific Northwest, from Seattle, and I hope Vancouver, too. All these girls are super-delicious at kissing! With a big wet French kiss from me, too!

lickitysplit
I just purchased this DVD after reading all the rave reviews, and boy was I disappointed. I'm a big fan of oral sex, and the oral in this DVD was tentative and horrible. I can't figure out if the women had an aversion to doing it, or were just no good at it. Also, I didn't like all the finger-stuffing and the extreme close-ups. Add to this the annoying sequencing of the DVD where it went back to the menu after the scenes, and the shortness of this feature(about an hour), and I felt thoroughly ripped off. How in the world can anyone give this 5 stars?!

stanp
I simply adored Bellezza. Ranks up there with the best of Viv's incredible stuff. Just a few complaints: Fully shaved pussies only, please. I prefer to actually SEE beauty as opposed to envisioning it. More, wetter, and over-the-top kissing, please. I can never get enough kissing. I'd recommend that the director view a few Japanese kissing vids and pick up a few pointers. I've yet to see Japanese kissing surpassed. However, it does appear to me that if anyone can do it, you can. One thing more - how about adding analingus and trib to your repertoire? You'd be creating the PERFECT vid. BTW, the incredible picture clarity was a fabulous plus + plus + plus. 9.5 stars out of 10. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Fairway Drive
Sophie Strauss, there is nothing more in the world I like than to see than you cumming! So, although I prefer limited toys, if that is what you want, go ahead, because the end result is breathtaking. You and Claudia make such a wonderful pair; so sensuous, so tender, so slow, so loving. I think Claudia really likes you. I can’t believe it was her first time. You handled her so beautifully that by scene two she was fire. Her dangling earrings were perfect as she licked and sucked your beautiful body. Lesbian video is so good today because of beautiful women like you working with good companies like Bellezza. Thank you.

Sophie Strauss rocks. I give this movie a definite thumbs-up. Sophie is hands-down the most beautiful girl in adult. Her enjoyment shows, and that's the erotic part of seeing a slender girl like her work for the viewers. She was also awesome in Bellezza vol. 3 with Candy, and the only disappointment was the lack of analingus. If Sophie has an aversion to it, perhaps someone could please do it to her so that we could pretend that it is us. I think wanting to perform analingus on a girl is the ultimate compliment to her appeal.

Also, the scene in vol. 3 with Sophie in the yellow-laced panties and the camera's focused attention on her awesome derriere satisfies the lingerie craving. Good direction. It is nice to see a girl in real bikini briefs where she is working her bum for the camera. Despite living in Santa Monica by the beach and seeing lovely girls in skimpy bikinis, it is still a turn-on to see a girl in panties. Kudos.

After watching all five of these, this one is by far the very best. I understand why girls prefer no pubic hair and vibrators, but, still, some of us much prefer pubic hair and no toys, etc. But if that is what we get, then, okay, so long as we have exciting oral sex, and this video has it in abundance. The subsequent videos are not nearly as good as the first.

Randy
This one is excellent! The girls are all naturally cute and sexy. There is a lot of oral, with a lot of close-ups, but I didn't find it vulgar because it reinforced what was happening with the oral.

I didn't mind the vibrator use. I think it is incredibly sexy to see a beautiful young girl approaching a real climax. I'm a guy, so I'm going to trust that Sophie knows what she is talking about. Having a vibrator inside you, while your clit is being worked - that must feel like heaven. Darn, if only I could switch bodies with somebody like Sophie for a few hours.

Bo
This one is a must-buy DVD, just for the first part. Very hot love scene. Kissing was great. I enjoyed how they put their arms around each other and kissed. I had to cool off before I could look at the second scene. The second scene was a sleeper. Kissing had no life to it. No passion; it could have been great if the kissing was more like the first scene.

OMEGA 3
To sum up, truly excellent and yes it deserves the 5 star rating! Definitely, and for sure - no doubt about it.

If I was to get picky about it, there's things that could have made the film even better. They could do better with the scenarios and wardrobe (as is the case with every studio).

I could go on and on about that, but to stay on topic, this was basically a perfect film by today’s standards. Extra nice :)

ramntex
Girlfriends Films should take note on how the camera focuses on a beautiful "wet" pussy. This is how it should be filmed, and explored.

Great film, and the girls are displayed in a very beautiful way.

skipper
Well golly geez louise folks! Having only viewed this producer’s work in this video, I have to say that too many folks are overly-critical overall.

“The Escort” was indeed great, in my view. Both Claudia and Sophie were excellent. Claudia is no rank amateur. She is young but full of life’s experience, which shows in this movie. I would like to see her in another production. She has the European flare - olive skin, dark eyes and shapes in all the right places.

I agree with Sophia’s review. Shaved is far better than hairy. Claudia, being dark, has a tremendous amount of natural pubic hair, too much to be sensual in this type of production. Having seen her in other pics, I can attest to this.

Melisande/Sophie Strauss
Heya, my scene with Claudia WAS NOT STAGED! Dude, Claudia was just a little shy, this being her first time with a girl, and her first time doing porn, and I was going a little more carefully than normal to make sure she loved it! We both had an amazing time, completely forgot on a few occasions that we were even on camera! This was the hottest scene I had ever done to date and I loved it!

I do agree with the zoom thing, I don’t like the way the movie goes from pretty girl-girl to PUSSY IN FACE, then back. It’s a bit of a shock when you’re enjoying watching the sensuality, then there is this superfast closeup. As for the razors, I like shaving. Having hair get stuck in your teeth is annoying.

About the analingus, I’m not really into it. For one, there’s a lot of potentially nasty bacteria in there that shouldn’t be anywhere on my tongue, or transferred to someone’s lovely pussy! As for someone doing it to me, it’s been tried, but I am so damn ticklish I can’t stop myself from laughing! I much prefer eating pussy…

Lol, just read more reviews and saw I’d already added one!
