I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
A different way of telling a story
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

View MoreIf you don't "like seeing sex between unattractive people (not to mention stupid jokes)", then why watch something called "Moonshine Love" in the first place? Did you really think it would be A-level entertainment? While this flick is not up there with Sarno or Meyer, it is good (un)clean fun.I enjoyed this film for the same reason I enjoy others of its ilk: 1. Semi-kinky yet somehow chaste nudity; 2. Lack of polish; 3. Historical perspective. If you are interested in the period of the 60s after the time nudity was first popping up (so to speak) but before full-blown porn, I highly recommend the book "Sleazoid Express" which discusses in length, from firsthand reporting, the rise and fall of 42nd street in New York.
View More"Sod Sisters"(aka "Moonshine Love") is primarily a softcore film that starts with a robbery gone awry. One of the hoodlums(the one carrying the loot) escapes by jumping in the back of a truck owned by a backwoods moonshiner. En route to the moonshiner's place, the thief falls out and suffers amnesia after bumping his head. Before long, the thief makes his way to the moonshiner's place, where he lives with two nubile young women who are presumably his daughters. I hope this wasn't the case, since one of the girls has sex with the moonshiner. The thief stays on the property by doing odd repair jobs and soon falls in love with the other daughter. Eventually, his past comes back to haunt him, as the other criminals find him and demand the money. He never regains his memory, and the film ends with our two lovers walking off together while the other hoodlums and the moonshiner fight for the money in a river. This film was little more than a softcore film with a halfway substantial plot. It stops to incorporate a striptease, the blonde daughter masturbating with a carrot, and a sex scene between the blonde and the amnesiac. It's interesting to notice that for a softcore film, the sex does not look completely faked. We also see numerous shots of the brunette daughter frolicking nude. Something Weird rescued this skinflick from the mists of time and placed it on a DVD with two other hillbilly exploitation films, "Common Law Wife" and "Jennie, Wife/Child". If you own this collection and like seeing sex between unattractive people (not to mention stupid jokes), enjoy. Everyone else, avoid.
