  • saving face - two chinese american women (thiS MOVIE IS MY FAVORITE I LOVE IT SO MUCH)
  • pariah - black american woman
  • mosquita y mari - brown chicanas
  • i can’t think straight - palestinian-jordanian woman and indian-british woman - i just watched this and was squealing the whole time

ppl just reminded me of/recommend these ones too:

  • yes or no - thai women, very silly movie!
  • the world unseen - indian-south african women
Avatar

Also circumstance - iranian women. 

The Chinese Botanist’s Daughter is a French/ Canadian movie but stars two Chinese protagonists.

Fire is a really good Indian movie.

Butterfly also has Chinese protagonists. The ending is semi-happy as in the original couple doesn’t stay together. I thought it was really good, though.

Spider Lilies has Taiwanese women and it’s directed by a Taiwanese lesbian. It’s an emotional movie but it has a happy ending!

Sancharram (The Journey) stars Indian women. Also really good.

Fish and Elephant is the first lesbian movie from Mainland China

Tuli is one of the only girl x girl films from the Philippines and has a really sweet ending (you can watch it here)
