Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

At First, the story was boring then I started to understand some behavioral responses associated to such situations. The writer of this film was able to convey the message that these characters portrayed. There was passion and fear to break one's own boundaries. Communication varies in different levels and wavelength. Claire(Trisha Todd) and Noel(Karen Trumbo), were able to find how to deal with their differences out of communication. Claire discovered that she's falling for (lesbian psychiatrist) Noel and so was Noel, who both were scared to get into. Noel refused to break her rule about getting involved with straight women. Claire may just be curious about such kind of relationship initially but the passion got real and strong. Great story. I suggest that you watch it.

I have heard that this is one of those films that you either love or you hate. I personally thought it was a very thought provoking film, especially considering the time and budget. It is sweet and sensual and makes you think. If you are just looking for steamy sex scenes then you're in the wrong place. This is a meaningful story of two women struggling to find themselves. Nicole Conn challenges several difficult issues with intelligence and grace. In my opinion it was well cast and the cinematography is impressive considering its Ind status. I highly recommend this film for a quite night at home. PS The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. One of my favorite classical play lists.

Forget the lesbian story line. This movie works and is interesting because the two main characters, who at first are repelled by each other, have the maturity, strength and intelligence to stick it out and probe deeper into each others personalities. Certain aspects of each other they will continue to dislike but are able to reach a place of understanding and even intimacy. That's the beauty of what transpires in this film. Watching this process take place, handled with intelligent dialogue, is what makes the movie intriguing.It's always refreshing to see a low budget film pull it off, proving once again millions of dollars are not necessary to make a captivating film. A good story and writing are and this film has it. I have to say the blatant stereotyping of a couple of the supporting characters really distracted from the overall effectiveness of this film.Still a 7/10.

This is an intelligent movie about two likeable, honest (as much as they can be as their characters evolve) women who meet as roommates at a writers' retreat. One is 'straight,' albeit unsettled, while the other is 'gay,' but hasn't met her match either. The movie consists of believable dialogue, superb acting, and good supporting actresses. I enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it to those who want a true plot, rather than a 'jump in the bed, dyke movie.'
