Rating: 4 stars
Summary: V ery artistic and touching
Review: Cali is a 17 year old girl that lives on a house boat with her hippie father, she searching for her mother who left soon after she was born. She discovers that subeam the towns most ecentric person is her mother. Along the way to finding this discovery she deals with her friends trying to discourage her from finding her mother, and her need to live on her own. I really liked this movie its vey artistic, and remnsent of hippies living on communes. This is a movie to see on a rainy day.The setting is so gorgeus you'll want to pick up and move.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: eYe-CaNDy FoR NoN THiNKeRS
Review: Daryl Hannah and Clea Duvall were beautifully cast in a good intentioned story...but the script was lacking and predictable.
The shots were dreamily executed...so I'm giving it 3 stars. If Eric Roberts weren't in it and I had to think a little more, I'd have given it 4.5 stars. Eric Roberts TRUELY gives me the creeps!
Buy this used...or don't buy it at all.

Summary: Snoozeville!
Review: Don't waste your time or money. This movie is plain flat boring. I wish I could get my money back!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Art
Review: For fans of gauzy cinematography full of beautiful landscapes and brief still lifes, as I am one, this movie is enchanting. The storyline, however, though not exactly dull is best left to those interested primarily in sketchy atypical though no less predictable teen girl coming of age films. More for fans of visual art than comprehensive film itself.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Life as we only wish it was....
Review: I just saw this movie last night and was captivated enough to stay up until midnight on a weekday. It was visually beautiful, so much so that it's almost a fantasy. People live on boats, have gorgeous furniture and willowy, gauzy clothing, hang out in coffee shops, read poems in an eclectic bookstore and don't seem to have real jobs, responsibilities or school. Clea DuVall is excellent but as a 17 year-old you would think her dad might be more worried when she stays out all night and doesn't come home for days. No one else mentioned that Eric Roberts (who is gorgeous and about 20+yrs. older than her) has an intimate encounter w/her - did this bother anyone else but me? This is one of those movies you get lost in because it's so wonderfully unrealistic and you dream about life being that carefree and beautiful...then the dog barks, the phone rings, your kids start fighting, etc. Why can't we all sleep on the ocean beach, hike in beautiful deserted pastures in CA, sleep with gorgeous older men, have a fascinating hip mom to get drunk with? It kind of left me unsatisfied with my existence, but that's another story...

Summary: beautiful, touching film
Review: I saw this film on the big screen during the Santa Barbara Film Festival. From the film's opening, it was both captivating and visually breathtaking. The plot is not necessarily fast paced, but it isn't slow by any means. The character development is very strong, the script and performances by Daryl Hannah and Clea Duvall ( in particular) were both stunning. The setting is aboslutely lovely. I tend to be a very discriminating, and sometimes critical moviegoer, so i was shocked to read the scathing view review above. I loved this movie. It is a tender and touching tale that I look forward to owning and watching many more times.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dissapointed
Review: i was excited to see this movie because i'm a fan of clea duvall. her performances in girl, interrupted and but i'm a cheerleader were wonderful. but this movie lacked something. or maybe some things would be more accurate. it seemed like a predictable storyline was taken and then a bunch of random odds and ends were thrown in to "complicate" the story and give it meaning. however, these scenes and pieces of information merely served as useless and annoying deviations from an already dull movie. the cinematograpy was good, but it didn't make up for the movie's shortcomings.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Slow and boring
Review: I went out and bought this video based on reviews I'd read here and was overwhelmingly disappointed. I painfully sat through this entire movie waiting, hoping, praying for something interesting to happen, but unfortunately, IT NEVER DID. It started out slow and pretty much dragged on at the same pace thoughout. The characters were boring and devoid of any real substance. The interaction between Clea DuVall(Cally) who by the way was great in "But I'm a Cheerleader" and Daryl Hannah(Sabine), was confusing as to what the real attraction was between them, so instead you got a lot of mindless dialogue. I love Daryl Hannah and I thought Eric Roberts was superb in "Its My Party" but not even they could do justice to this very bad movie. Since I can't get my money back, if anyone's looking for a used VHS copy, I seem to have one available!!
