 Very Real To Me January 19, 2008
T. Miller (Tempe, AZ)
This movie hits really close to home for me being that I was in the same situation a few years ago. The acting is surprisingly genuine. The moment that Tory realizes that she just betrayed the love of her life after telling her younger sister that Paulie has a thing for her and that she is not "like that" and she bursts into tears...it seemed very genuine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. It's obviously a relevant topic and source of conflict that many people can relate to. I like the movie "Imagine Me & You", but Piper's acting was a lot better in this film.
Lost and Delirious December 28, 2007
Matt
An incredible, very moving and believable, love story between two young girls. Extremely well acted with a somewhat over melodramatic ending. A must see that will leave your heart broken and teary-eyed.
Coming of age story November 23, 2007
Reader (Chicago, IL USA)
While some would argue that this is a lesbian movie, I would say that this is simply a story of love. We see a group of teenage girls in the all girls private schoool remotely tucked in somewhere on the east coast. They are all sort of discards from their families. Their parents have fulfilled the social contract of having children (or adopting them in some cases) and now that girls have reached a certain age, they are almost an inconvenience to their own parents. Do not take me wrong, they are not a problem kids - they are sent away so that their blended families can get some breathing space. So this seemingly comfortable arrangement has one drawback. These young women are craving for love and attention. Tucked in school, away from families that care for them enough to pay hefty tuitiion, they bond by forming cliques or in some instances, strong loving relationships amongst each other. Two of them fall in love and have sexual relationship that once discovered brings havoc around the entire school. One of the grils (played by Piper Perabo) is sensitive, caring but unable to let go of her unfaithful lover who does not seem to want to resiprocate the love any longer. It is in those tender moments of our heroine's distress that one can see that she fell in love with a person and the sex of the person is totally irrelevant to her. Our heroine is seeking love pure and unconditional the one that does not seek approval from the rest of the society. I totally loved this movie and I still keep wondering when I am going to see Piper Perabo in her next role. She is beautiful, talented and absolutely irresistible.
 Well Made, if Cliche Story of Teen Heartbreak October 20, 2007
A. Gould (New York City)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The symbolism is a bit heavy-handed, the parallel stories of the wounded hawk re-taught to fly and Pauline the damaged teen whose rejection by the girl she desperately loves is too much for her. But the exquisite music, fine acting, sharp photography and editing, and the physical beauty of the three leads combine to give power to this simple story of love and loss. The handling of the setting -- a girl's boarding school -- is not exploitative but sympathetic. Pretty good all around. An English treatment of the theme -- forbidden love at boarding school -- is Karel Reisz' excellent 1982 Another Country with Colin Firth and Rupert Everett.
Beautiful September 29, 2007
Jessica L. Davis (Garner, NC United States)
This is a beautiful film. I thought this was going to be another lesbian film but it is not. I was very moved by this film and I could understand how Pauli felt. Even straight girls can identify with Pauli. Heck anyone in love can identify with her. Loved the fencing scenes and the interaction between the characters. For me this movie wants there to be a sequal to see what happens to Mouse and Tory afterward.
