Summary: Escape while you can!
Review: If forced to watch this movie, I strongly recommend you escape at the first opportunity.

Don't worry, there will be many, so your escape is assured. During every scene with Todd and Trumbo, they follow every badly delivered line with approximately ten seconds of staring blankly at the camera. "Line... what's my line? Cue cards! Cue cards!"

These times are your chance! While Claire stares blankly at the camera, or possibly chain-smokes through an entire pack of cigarettes in between lines ("Well, I like to... Um... Line...? *smokes an entire pack of cigarettes while Noel stands stiffly looking into space* Oh yeah, go to the, uh, bar, right..."), you will have ample time to make some lame excuse and escape.

Do not squander your opportunity! While the opportunities for escape in this film are limitless, every second you remain will simply increase your sleepiness, until after an hour you'll be permanently mired in a zombie-like state of half-sleep from which you may never recover.

This movie most closely resembled twelve hours of the Oxygen channel, only, more compact, and everyone speaks in a soft voice so as to not wake you up.

Despite its flaws, this movie is still better than such screen gems as xXx and Starship Troopers, so 2 stars.

Summary: opened my eyes
Review: when i first saw this movie a few years ago it helped
open my eyes to what i was feeling inside.it helped
me clear up things.i was just glad to see
claire and noel finally get past things and get
together.not enough happy endings in these types
of stories.it's like they put lesbianism in movies
just to get the attention or shock value and the
woman goes back to the man after the experience. i
enjoyed the movie even to this day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love it!
Review: I have read many of the reviews of this movie and I am perplexed at the number of negative reviews. I was hooked after the first viewing. For a low budget film, the message is extraordinary. An uplifting story about two women who against all odds find love with each other. As someone who has been through a similar situation, I was truly touched. I watch it every chance I get. If you want a beautiful story of a growing relationship, then this is the film for you...but for those of you that just watch movies like this for the "porn value" then you are out of luck. (I think that was the problem with some of the other reviewers). Anyway, this continues to be one of my most favorite films ever. Kristen, Texas

Summary: Worst movie ever!!!
Review: This movie is terrible. You have to sit through over an hour of boring talking and inane arguing to get to the shockingly sudden unlikely "romance" in the last two minutes of the film. Don't waste your money on this one, unless you want something to burn in the fireplace this winter. As a lesbian, I was greatly disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No moons here
Review: When I started watching this unoriginal and monotonous movie, I thought it would show that scene almost every unoriginal and monotonous Nineties movie has: the cast dancing to some overplayed Sixties oldie. I was wrong. THIS movie showed its characters dancing to a blaring, generic, keyboard-heavy, Eighties-style rock anthem.

The above scene epitomizes how badly this movie has aged since 1992. I can understand how the filmmakers would want to counteract the era's cinematic Sapphic stereotypes; at least the movie contains no lesbian killers, or no silicone-enhanced lesbian sexbombs who get it on to arouse straight male viewers. Unfortunately, the filmmakers instead offer equal parts pseudo-intellectualism (stilted Mars/Venus-style conversations about sexual roles) and watered-down cool (embarrassing MTV-style sexual fantasies). This "unrated" movie even waters down its sex scenes, going to comical lengths to conceal crotches and buttocks, apparently to avoid controversy and guarantee a mainstream audience. Claire and Noel even have sex wearing their jeans!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Flawed but passionate
Review: Thought the movie had flaws in just about every area but was not lacking in deep passion. If you see it for more than that you may be very disappointed. By the time Noel and Claire share their first kiss, the sexual tension is truly been painful! So their ensuing relationship is a wonderful release. A good first film for the Lesbian lifestyle. But there's been better movies made since.
Acting = 1 star
Story = 4 stars
Since there's no 2.5, I just rounded up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WARNING: FOR INSOMNIACS ONLY
Review: AAARCH...I had hoped that this movie had shrunk up and disappeared. This is a perfect movie if you suffer from insomnia and are trying to wean yourself from sleeping pills...you can go cold turkey watching this movie. The only reason I rated the film "1 star" is that "0 star" was not an option.

The film is painfully slow and excruciatingly predicatable. The storyline is weak, the dialogue flat, and the acting uninspired.

The movie contains only ridiculous messages:
1. Women who attend activities for women must be lesbians or latent lesbians (now, that's plainly absurd);
2. lesbians speak insipid platitudes of redundant rhetoric (that writers at a workshop wou;d discuss this topic only is just silly);
3. straight women really wish to be lesbians and will just suddenly change sexual orientation (get real!).

The plot is likely to be CHEEZY to any person, INSULTING to any thinking woman, and PATHETIC to any lesbian. As such, I am EMBARRASSED that lesbians (and the one straight woman) are portrayed SO stereotypically and shallow by the film's creators.

This film embodies the concept of "bad lesbian film" of which there are many. Fortunately, there is no reason to watch such a pathetic movie for several excellent movies containing lesbian content exist: "Fire," "Desert Hearts," "High Art."

Rating: 3 stars

Review: I have seen the making, but they have let us see to many from Trisha and to little from Karen.I think thats because Nicole was in love with Trisha.
