Below Her Mouth Movie Clips
Diego Semerene of Slant Magazine gave the film 0.5 stars out of 4, writing, 'The film is an unquestionably pornographic fantasy barely trying to pass as something other than masturbation material.'[7] He added, 'Below Her Mouth's stiff acting and dialogue suggest a misguided Blue Is the Warmest Color influence reduced to the sexy aesthetics of lesbian sex but completely oblivious to that which actually animates the film's impossibly beautiful, unbearably smooth, and perpetually horny bodies.'[7] Guy Lodge of Variety described it as 'a sexually frank but narratively flimsy girl-meets-girl romance that never gets under its gorgeous characters' amply exposed skin.'[8] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it 'an undeniably steamy effort that delivers plenty of heat in its sex scenes, while falling significantly short in dramatic terms.'[9] Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times said: 'Despite the female filmmakers at the helm, the film treads into exploitative territory, with the ratio of screen time given to writhing female bodies far outweighing that given to their unique experiences as gay or closeted women in the world.'[10] Jude Dry of Indiewire wrote: 'What, exactly, is below her mouth? Her chin? Her body? Her entire mind and spirit? It's a fittingly ambiguous title for a directionless film, late night fare that will be enjoyed by just as many horny men as horny teenage lesbians.'[11]
Home media[edit]
The film was made available as video on demand on Amazon Video on April 29, 2017;[12] followed by Netflix on August 1, 2017.[13]

Below Her Mouth Movie Online
Oftentimes, when films feature extended lesbian sex scenes, their authenticity is called into questionโand that has a lot to do with the fact that straight men are generally behind the camera and straight women are the ones in the queer roles. Thatโs exactly what director April Mullen wanted to avoid with โBelow Her Mouth.โ The Canadian film, in theaters now, stars out model Erika Linder as an androgynous heartthrob, Dallas, whose interest in commitment to anything or anyone is lacking until she meets Jasmine (Natalie Krill). Although Jasmine is engaged to a man, the two women crossing paths leads to an immediate connection and tension just begging for release.
โI would say probably I put the most intention in this film into the actresses and the sex scenes and how to portray those in an authentic, new, refreshing female perspective,โ Mullen told GO. โSo for me, it was trying to delete and erase all of the images and advertisements I had seen about sex since the age of five. Because Iโve been exposed to so many things, but all of those things are written by men or directed by men or made for male audiences.โ
โBelow Her Mouthโ serves up several explicit sexual scenarios, including a lengthy scene in which Jasmine pleasures herself in a bathtub while fantasizing about Dallas, who is working as a roofer on the house next door. Together, Dallas and Jasmine engage in extended erotic sequences that feel visceral rather than voyeuristic. The way they explore each otherโs bodiesโcareful and curious at first, with increasing liberation moving from nighttime into dayโmay be one of the most conscientious and ingenuous depictions of lesbian sex in modern cinema. Mullen partly credits that to having made the film in Canada, a country whose ratings and restrictions are much more lax than other parts of the world, especially when it comes to artistic expressions of humanity and sexuality.
โI think in Canada, weโre so lucky to be so free and to create films that actually show and celebrate the female orgasm,โ Mullen said, โwhich I rarely even see in film, let alone same-sex [films].โ

But the โfine lineโ that exists between cinematic storytelling through sex and straight-up porn is another aspect Mullen had to consider. Leading with what she found sexy and enticing was what helped her choreograph what she referred to as the actors communicating through their bodies.
โI really looked inwardly,โ Mullen said. โIt was a very intimate film for me, as well. I had to shed a lot of my truth and show a lot of myself as a femaleโwhat turns me on, what entices me to want to get to know somebody or be intimate with them; itโs emotional, itโs mental, itโs spiritual and itโs physical. So thereโs a rush of that chemistry, and itโs like, whatโs happened to me in my life and how can I depict those moments that made a huge impact on my sexuality as Iโve transformed? Those momentsโhow do I incorporate those? Because I feel like those are the most honest feelings and images I could bring to the film, so I made sure I was coming from a really honest place within me and not doing or making something for anybody else.โ
Making the actors feel comfortable in these intimate situations is also paramount, and Mullen said she was extremely conscious of this, not only be-cause itโs respectful, but because it ultimately benefits the performances.
โThere was a lot of conversation going into these scenes so that we were all on the same page, and the actors felt really comfortable with the scenes they were about to do,โ Mullen said. โThey knew full well where they were going location-wise and what they are doing and how the lighting was going to be. We brought them to location ahead of time and spoke about what was happening so that on the day, they didnโt have to concentrate on anything but being with each other. All they had to do was stay connected with one another.โ
The chemistry between Linder (in her first film role) and Krill (who has mostly done Canadian television before now) is what drives โBelow Her Mouth,โ especially since the focus is on their strong lust for one another versus anything specifically romantic. Despite Mullen calling the film a โlove story,โ the physicality of Dallas and Jasmineโs relationship is what is unavoidable, not necessarily their emotional want for or seeking of a partner in one another.
โIt was way more about their connectionโeye contact and communication through the body, not through words,โ Mullen said. โThereโs very little dialogue in all the sex scenes and it was very important to watch their bodies and let takes linger, have very few cutting points, and not do a lot of takes. All of those things are specific to this film because we wanted it to feel very real and fresh, and the actors did it once, maybe twice, and never againโbecause we just wanted to get whatever we got.โ
โBelow Her Mouthโ highlights female sexuality and the oft-overlooked idea that womenโs desires are so much more complex than the heteronormative depictions weโre repeatedly given to consume on big and small screens.
โI just feel completely blessed to be able to be a part of a project like this. And by the fact that weโre in Canada and weโre able to celebrate love for loveโs sake and not be restricted in any way, shape or form in what women do with each other, or by themselves in a bathtub,โ Mullen said. โIt can be celebrated rather than always associated with shame or guilt. I think itโs so important for a film like this to set a new precedent or a new standard to change peopleโs perspectives or open up their windows a bit more to whatโs OK.โ
