Featured at lesbian and gay film festivals nationwide, L Is For the Way You Look humorously discusses lesbian history, media representations of lesbianism, and women such as Martina Navratilova and Angela Davis, who have become role models for young lesbians. "L Is For the Way You Look is about activism and idols, but it will become famous for its beautifully edited detective-thriller middle section" (Village Voice).
