I'm not much of a film buff, but I'll ask around and have a think. Meanwhile:
Many years ago I saw a delightful short film on television called 'Domestic Bliss'. I've never forgotten it. A gentle and truthful comedy about two lesbians in love moving in together, when one of them has a child. It's still one of the few movies that has ever seemed to reflect my own life in any way. There's some info about it here (http://www.buddybuddy.com/mr-video.html). But I think it may be hard to get hold of. It doesn't seem to be in the catalogue of the site behind the link, anyway. I see, checking on the web, that the director, Joy Chamberlain, also directed a film called 'Nocturne' in 1990; I should think that would probably be worth watching, too.
The television movie 'Portrait of a Marriage', supposedly about Vita Sackville-West, is very bad, I think. (But then, I hated 'Tipping the Velvet'.)
Then there is the famous period piece 'The Killing of Sister George' (1968). I remember, as a half-comprehending schoolkid, seeing the suggestive posters for that plastered all over the Underground. But I didn't get to see it until some years later, of course.
