Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The first 45 min of this movie is straight out of Murder She Wrote style of directing and acting *Rolls Eyes* Hence only a 7 vote for me... However - skip past the first 45 minutes of plain bad acting, directing and script etc etc etc and the remaining hour is actually well worth the watch! The plot will not suffer any for skipping this first 45 min - indeed this would have been better as a short movie.Directed by a lesbian this movies has some good stuff to say about both hetero and lesbian relationships and the dynamics of each from a woman's perspective. It was all good sound stuff and I found it thought provoking and it held my attention. The romance and seductive scenes are also quite sensuous and 'worked' for me *smile* They show how a lesbian relationship may grow and develop for a hetero woman who has become bored of men being so 'easy' when it comes to sex. She finds that her 'power' simply doesn't work that way when it comes to women. Lesbian relationships being based upon very different dynamics to those of hetero relationships...Hope you enjoy this movie too. :o))

I agree that this movie was pornography without the honesty. The whole point of the movie was that the pretty and sexy blonde sleeps with the tall, manly brunette. It is not enough that the straight (for now) blonde simply wants a romp with the brunette but she must go out of her mind with desire for the tall butch brunette. Then, of course, the butch brunette refuses the blonde's advances until later when for no apparent reason, the butch relents. They have sex. Movie ends. They live happily ever after? Huh? This is porn: the point of the movie is that the leads have sex on camera and all the other problems of life are washed away and everything is great. Are there reprecussions to the sex, is this a one night stand, are their lives changed, once the blonde gets back to New York will she stay with women or "lapse" into dependence on hairy, dirty men? "Who cares, they had sex". Realistically, there was nothing between these two women except that the blonde was ready and the brunette was willing and they were together in a rainstorm. This is a romance novel. Avoid at all costs.

Now I understand the negative reviews of the lesbian community. This is no "lesbian movie," let alone a "classic one." Give me a break! This is pure and simple SOFT PORN. Let me add that it is REALLY BAD SOFT PORN. The pseudo-intellectualizing is just BS and only SLOWS the REALLY BAD SOFT PORN down. Give this one a pass.

This was a wonderfully done sensual and seductive movie. I first saw it a few years back and was mesmerized by the playfulness of the words of the two main characters, Noel and Claire. Playfulness of course then leading to a wonderful development of their relationship.I've since bought the video, and musical score.I find the film hauntingly erotic.Feb. 5. 2000.
