Summary: A Heartwrenching Drama, Perabo's Acting is Stellar
Review: Lost and Delirious is a heartwrenching drama about a teenage girl's relationship with her roomate at boarding school gone sadly wrong...Perabo as the bearer of unrequited love once her girlfriend can not deal with others knowing she has a love affair with Perabo..Perabo is set into a whirlwind of emotions in this tragic story...unlike movies of the 60's or 70's that dealt with tragic lesbian love stories, this one is different, as we never judge Perabo as a lesbian, just a girl lost, who could be any girl in a broken relationship...Perabo's acting in beyond compare, there were times I needed to look away from the screen as the raw emotions portrayed eloquently by Perabo in heart breaking scenes were sometimes too much to face...This movie is well written and directed...the other actors were wonderful.. setting a perfect stage for Perabo's emotional melt down...I can't praise this film enough...it is a coming of age film, finding one's identity, and learning the heart is likely the most powerful yet weakest muscle in the body...If there were more than 5 stars to be offered I'd give each on to this film...

Summary: Sure to have an effect!
Review: I am afraid that I can not find words strong enough to describe how truely wonderful this film is. I mean in an era of brainless light dramas, Lost and Delirious is a deep and refreshing look at real drama. When Mouse, young introvert still greiving her mothers death, arrives at her new boarding school, she doesn't hold out much hope of enjoying herself. At first, there seems to be no real redeeming qualities of her new environment, then she meets her roommates; Victoria and Pauline, who acting as surragate sisters take mouse under their wing, giving her all the support she needs. When Tory and Paulie are found to be lovers, everyone's worlds start to crummble. Tory, terrified of being outted to her family, breaks up with Paulie. Paulie takes this devastatingly hard ( in such an artisticlly beautiful way). And Mouse is left to play stablizing crutch to Paulie. In the end we all find out how far love can drive you, and Mouse finds the strength to behold her mother's memory. I thought I had seen Piper Perabo act before (Coyote Ugly, The Adventures of Rocky and Bulwinkle), but obviously those films were not worthy of her talent. She brought the character of Pauline alive so convincingly that I found myself crying over her pain as though it were my own. This is for sure the best movie I've ever seen.(I've seen alot)
I am sure my family is ready to declare me insane because I keep randomly spouting lines from this movie.(it has had that much of an effect)I watched this at least 8 times in 3 days. I hope others will enjoy it as much as I have.
GREAT ACTING, GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY,GREAT STORY,...GREAT MOVIE!!!

Summary: Eh
Review: I liked this movie for a few minutes, then it became a frustrating exercise in misery.
The ending was a complete bummer...and I couldn't help but notice that the one character (Played by Picabo) spent a hell of a lot of time running aimlessly all over the school grounds.
Get into fight with girlfriend...run.
Get upset about girlfriend...run some more.
Get caught in bed with girlfriend...run, run, run.
This chick runs everywhere!
It gets tedious.
I'm in the minority on this one. A lot of people love this flick, but depressing, doomed love just doesn't do it for me.

Summary: Perabo soars in 'Lost and Delirious'
Review: You probably recognize Piper Perabo from the movie she did last year, "Coyote Ugly." She did OK in that, but in this movie she really lets loose and proves herself an actress of intense emotion. The story's about a new girl (Mischa Barton) who moves into a boarding school and rooms with Tori (Jessica Pare) and Pauline (Perabo). Tori and Pauline are involved in a steamy, emotionally intense relationship until they are discovered in bed together. Feeling threatened, Tori breaks it off and Pauline tries to furiously win her back. I really liked the story line of the movie, especially the way Pauline acts after the relationship has broken off. I thought Barton also did a good job as the shy new roommate, and Pare was good in her role as well. But it's Perabo who fires this flick up, her performance is enough to make those who dismissed her after "Coyote Ugly" sit up and take another look. Only part I had trouble with was the ending, it was a bit weird and too fantasy-like for a movie like this. Still, it's definitely worth seeing.

Summary: Tender and sad
Review: I thought this was an exceptional movie. Not growing up lesbian, but now an out lesbian, I understood the feelings of rejection and hurt. My partner, however, looked at me with tears in her eyes (not a "crier"), and said to me, "This is why most adult lesbians are f***ed up." It really hit home. The level of devastation, not only to be rejected by your lover, but a denial of ever being involved...whew. We both thought the movie was beautiful, sad, and suprisingly not over the top--not even the ending. I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: NOT a "lesbian" flick
Review: This is NOT a "lesbian" movie. I keep seeing this movie listed as a "lesbian" movie--as though it's only for a lesbian audience. It's not. It's an amazing piece of art about that deals with universal themes of love, acceptance, betrayal (of the self and of others), friendship, loyalty, honesty, peer pressure, emotional dependance, parenting, prejudice and more. Mainly, it's about the damage done by labels, as lead Paulie says to Mouse, "I'm not a girl in love with a girl, I'm Paulie in love with Tory." So don't label, watch. And don't think this movie won't move you if you aren't gay. It will. I'd say it's one of the most quietly powerful movies I've ever watched.

Summary: Two Women in Love
Review: Paulie and Tori were young teenagers in love. But when Tori's sister storms into the room with her friends and finds the two of them in bed together, Tori breaks off the relationship with Paulie. Tori fears that her sister will tell her parents and she'll be disowned. She couldn't take the risk of ruining her family's reputation at the prep school. Paulie, devastated, loses her sanity and tries to get her lover back. Tori avoids her at all cost playing it straight. Paulie goes further into descent and Tori hides behind the mask.
Both girls are tragic because they fear being alone and abandoned. Tori, while playing it straight, sees that her former lover is falling apart, and stands by allowing it to happen. Paulie, in addition to her partner ending their relationship, finds that her real mother doesn't want to be found.
This movie was a good watch. Even in the "it's okay to be gay" today, there are still some in the closet, "playing it safe". Tori needed balls and Pauli needed to know that she wasn't by herself.
