Concussion

Stacie Passon's Concussion (US, 2013) - The unjust dearth of Sapphic cinema helps explain, more than excuse, the desperate "Concussion," a head injury of a film in which a middle-aged suburban femme with a frigid wife and a bump on the noggin starts turning tricks for a distaff clientele at $800 a pop. That this queer "Belle de Jour" favors style over substance without really getting down and dirty befits its shrewd bid to titillate an aud that scratches itches by mouse click -- which is to say that the Radius-TWC pickup stands to score almost exclusively via VOD. 2013SUN. RATING: 6
