Summary: AMAZING!! SHOCKING!! WONDERFUL!!
Review: This movie was absolutely wonderful. It brought me to tears, it made me laugh, and it really screwed with my emotions...I was crying for 3 days after I saw it the first time, then 6 days later I went back to see it again. I would be honestly surprised if Jessica Paré doesn't become high demand after this amazing performance as a girl torn between her true love and what her parents expect out of her. I loved it, I can't wait for it to come out on video so that I can watch it every day. You can watch it from different views, as it is told by Mary, but you can also see it in Polly and Tori's perspectives. A must see for everyone, but be warned that there is a shocking ending.

Summary: Very good movie
Review: I viewed this film in Canada last week, and i really enjoyed it. The story follows three girls named Mouse/Mary, Paulie, and Tori. Mouse is new to the all-girl boarding school, and she is roomates with Paulie and Tori. At first Paulie and Tori's behavior is a bit suspicious to Mouse, for example, she saw them holding hands during choir and even kissing outside, but Mouse just thought they were practicing for boys. However when Paulie and Tori start having sex while Mouse is in the room, it became obvious they were in a lesbian relationship which Mouse became used to after a while, and the three girls become vey close after a while. Later on in the film, Tori's sister suprises the girls and bursts into their room and to her suprise she caught Tori and Paulie lying naked together in bed. If Tori's parents ever found out about this, they would never think of Tori the same way again, so Tori convinced her sister nothing happened. Out of shame and fear her parents would find out, Tori broke it off with Paulie and they drifted apart. Paulie was heartbroken! She couldn't believe Tori would do such a thing, they had been so deeply inlove and now out of fear of what other people would think she just broke it off with her, how unfair. Paulie eventually became obsessed with trying to win Tori back, she even challenged Tori's boyfriend to a dule, but nothing won back Tori. As time passed Paulie became more and more desperate while Tori got more an more frustrated with her. Later on in the film, Paulie does something that will change things forever, but I don't want to spoil anything. I would definately reccomend this film to everyone. It is a beautiful movie, the acting is great, the plot is good, and the movie is just entertaining! Go see it if it is playing near you.

Summary: RIDICULOUS !
Review: What is wrong with all you people who liked this film. The writing was so bad that I found my self laughing at times. The ending is ridiculous and the acting was awful .... I am a teenager, so I know what teenage angst is like and that is certainly not it. This film is full of petty melodrama thatis completely cliche. If you are looking for a good film see Kids, Gummo, Ghost World, or Bully. I'm sure the people that liked this film that are reading this review are and thinking that I am too young to get it or something like that, which is not true at all. I asked for Citizen Kane on my fifth birthday ... . I have loved film since the day I was born and I know a good movie when I see one. Anyway, I think that I am done ranting for now.
P.S. You might like this film if you are pubescent 13 year old girl that is trying to find a reason to feel sorry for herself.Oh and one more thing, I apoligize if I came off as being conceited or condescending.

Summary: Tragic...
Review: This film captures teen angst wonderfully. Some may just chalk it up as a lesbian love story, but as the main character Paulie puts it, it isn't about being gay or bi or whatever, it's just about Paule in love with Tory and Tory being in love with Paulie, even though she prefers to deny it. A sort of Romeo and Juliet, or perhaps Romie and Juliet. I really enjoyed this film and the ending was incredibly sad. You wanted to hate Tory for what she was doing to Paulie, yet I couldn't bring myself to despise her because she was simply in denial. She was more afraid of people thinking badly about her than to stand up for love. The love scenes between the two girls were handled very skillfully, I thought, showing how they felt without being overly erotic. They aren't lesbians, they're just in love. As for Mouse, as someone who has known what it's like to be shy and withdrawn, I totally understood her. When she was with Paulie in the woods cursing at her father in a very un-shy girl like manner it was like deja vu for me. Piper Perabo is an awesome actress, she was definitely able to flex her acting skills more in this than in "Coyote Ugly", unlike most actresses who only know how to be cute or sweet. Her descent into madness was almost Ophelia-like, only more realistic and modern. And if you don't at least have tears at the corners of your eyes in the end, you're a hard person. A beautiful, but tragic film.

Summary: Good acting, but some of the story was a little weak.
Review: I do agree with all of the other reviewers, the acting was great, especially one of the main girls played by Piper Perabo. It was basically a story about a girl (the narrator) going to an all girls boarding school and finding out that her two roommates are in love. There isn't a problem until one of the sisters of the roommates walks in on them and people start to suspect things. This causes a problem among the schoolmates and one of the girls makes a decision that will change things for both of them forever. Like I mentioned, the acting was very good and the storyline or idea kept you interested for a while, but there were parts where it dragged. There were also things in it (my friend called it "like an afterschool special") that seemed to be like "fillers" and weren't very important. i never got into the stuff about the bird and the friendship with the gardener. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who feels uncomfortable watching two girls having a love scene. I found the emotion throughout the film very strong and I really felt for the characters. I was just expecting more at times.

Summary: Lost and Delirious
Review: Lost and Delirious is a haunting and very impressive film. Mischa Barton does an excellent job as the new girl sent to live at an all girl's college. She quickly becomes close friends with her two roommates, Pauline and Tory, who are also lovers. The imagery and cinematography in this film are done brilliantly, some of the best I've ever seen. Great story outstandingly told as well. The acting is occasionally a bit overdramatic, but still quite superb. The ending is a little predictable, but I think most people (the smart ones anyway) would find this film to be quite evocative and most excellent nonetheless... And they would definitely be right :). Based on the book The Wives of Bath by Susan Swan.
