charlotte stokely and kenna james in “closing time”
scene title: closing time [scene 1]
performers: charlotte stokely, kenna james
site: wicked pictures
production credits: mike quasar (dir., ed., scr.)
trailer
here, on the first day of my commitment to reviewing girl/girl scenes, the question arises: what counts as a scene?
everything else i've reviewed so far has been the story of a single encounter, with no plot after the sex. here, by contrast, the story picks back up after the sex scene and continues to what seems to be a fairly arbitrary cutoff point, after which scene 2 and its sequels (i won't be watching them, because this is the only girl/girl scene in the movie) will presumably draw the narrative strands set up here to some kind of satisfactory conclusion.
but just because the story is incomplete for me doesn't mean i can't judge the scene according to my usual metrics. the script gets nearly full marks, because mike quasar put effort into it and he can be relatively funny and mordant. he's also a good director when allowed a budget, and the set dressing and lighting here achieves a sort of seedy stylishness that was a feast for the eyes regardless of whether the performers were clothed or not. even so, quasar's secret strength is his editing: this thing flows with a kind of snap and polish all too rare in porn.
it's a little hard to distinguish charlotte and kenna's performance from the more extensive acting elsewhere in the scene, since although we do spend twenty minutes with them mostly naked, they barely have any lines and are treated as ditzy comic relief in contrast with the stars of the movie, who will go on to have presumably more meaningful boy/girl sex. but then again it's charlotte stokely and kenna james, easily two of the most effortlessly charming performers in porn. they could sell a much worse scenario than this (and have, many times), and they're both so practiced at girl/girl that even the intrinsic awkwardness of the bathroom set barely seemed to faze them.
this probably isn't the last scene plucked from a feature (that rapidly fading but still somehow profitable porn format) i will have to review, but i can almost guarantee that it will be the only feature i wouldn't mind watching all the way through and skipping the sex, quasar's writing and directing is that good.
