Rating:  - Captures angst/spontaneity of relationship
One of my favorite lesbian love stories. I saw this film years and years ago when I was first coming to terms with my own sexuality. The characters are relatable and genuine,and the angst between the two lead characters is palpable and sexy throughout. Though the film delivers a tragic end, it develops into a metaphor with many of the familiar themes faced by young (and even older) gay couples. The film runs the gamut of emotion and is a must see given its poingnant themes. It still is relevant, ... Read More
Rating:  - I bought this film as a gift for someone I love..
And I am glad they know I love them, because this movie was not good.
I chose it based off of the numerous glowing reviews and I've never been so disappointed by Amazon critics.
The writing is awful. The music is sappy. There are too many unimportant unfulfilled subplots throughout. The reference to "The Raptor" is never completely explained. And last but not least,wonderful, wonderful Graham Greene is wasted in this film.
I truly wanted to care about ... Read More
Rating:  - Could have been better,
My friend had recommended watching this movie to me a while ago, so I finally did. All in all it wasn't bad but the twist came too soon in the plot and 2/3 of the movie was lost because of it. However I did enjoy Piper Perabo's character because it was really the only main character with A personality. Mischa Barton's portrayal of Mary "Mouse" Bedford was good but sometimes it was a little "wtf" (see the narration). Teens will relate and probably get a bigger kick out of it than not. I actually did ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best
True, it's one of the best lesbian movie out there, it gave me a good laugh and brought me to tear at the same time. This movie is simply so beautiful, I felt in love with Paulie without realize it, she's such a prince, fighting hopelessly for her princess. I would love to watch it over and over, a good movie for both straight and gay person.
Rating: - Soaring romanticism and heartbreak of first love
Girls, boarding school and an illicit affiar....all the stuff of a potentially intriguing, if not original, story. But in fact, this little gem had a lot of surprises. It's at heart a tale about fitting in (or not) and the emotional toll of that. Something that every teenager has to come to terms with. And perhaps closeted gay teens more so than many others. This film captures the soaring romanticism of first love and the descent into craziness when it doesn't work out, when everything you wanted to ... Read More
