Summary: Unforgettably Moving Story
Review: This is absolutely one of the most moving stories of WWII. Such intelligent presentation of the material. Maria Schrader and Juliane Kohler give the finest perfomances I have ever seen on screen. Their chemistry is astonishing and tell us that love is love and does not matter who it is between. The quality of the film has interested me to see more German cinema.

Summary: Beautiful.
Review: This is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever seen on the screen: beautiful, vibrant, expressionistic, and tragic. Based on Lilly Wust's testimony, the film tells the story of two women falling in love in Berlin during World War II. Maria Schrader gives a mind-blowing performance as the touching and passionate lover Felice, who tries to dissimulate her Jewish identity in a city torn by war and prejudice. Schrader's brilliant acting is reason enough to go see the movie. Excellent!

Summary: Amazing
Review: This is the second official lesbian movie I've seen. I thought it was wonderful. The Jaguar character is attractive and sexy, and the movie did a good job of portraying a woman discovering her lesbian identity later in life. There is a wonderful bonus in the special features: an interview with the real "Aimee", and photographs of she and the real Jaguar.

Summary: They took my breath away.
Review: This movie catapulted me into a time where love was the last thing on a persons mind. But these two women found love, companionship, trust and hope in each other. The story is so real that it can be hard to look at some times. But well worth the viewing.

Summary: Beautiful Acting / Beautiful Story
Review: This movie just plain breaks your heart, but it's worth the emotional journey. With characters that are vividly brought to life against a cruel backdrop of war and bigotry, the movie shines because it never compromises on its characters. All of the characters are rich and three dimensional - Nazi, Jew, and German alike. There's Jaguar's boss, a Jew-hating Nazi with a surprisingly sweet and good-natured side. There's Aimee's husband, who can be both sweet and cruel at the same moment. And then there's the main characters - characters who are flawed, but in love with each other in spite of AND because of those flaws. I highly recommend the DVD because it contains interviews with the original Aimee and pictures of the couple from World War II.

Summary: Lesbian splendor
Review: Two aspects of Aimee and Jaguar can be seen in a negative light. The first is that it's subtitled, so it takes a bit of work. The other is that it's sad, so it's not meant for a giddy date. That said, this portrayal of two women falling in love in Nazi Germany is gorgeous. The acting is spectacular, the costumes are exquisite, and the script is flawless. It's best suited to a somber or appreciative mood, but every lesbian (and arguably every person) should see Aimee and Jaguar. The special features alone make this DVD worth buying. Extensive photo galleries and a mini-documentary provide more insight into the lives of the real Aimee and Jaguar. The quality of these extras is truly fitting for a movie of this calibre. Bottom Line
Cuddles: ****

If you buy it, you'll get your money's worth the moment the menu comes on and you hear the music.

Summary: See this Film!
Review: What a beautifully filmed story - I was transported to Berlin during the Nazi regime and became emotionally attached to the characters. I felt the fear as the Nazi's steadily & feverently hunted down and deported the remaining Jewish people with heartbreaking viciousness. I felt as if I knew the characters and the movie stayed in my head many days after seeing, which is the sign of a great film. Great acting, great story and filmed with such an eye for the time. I could really feel the pain, the anger, the desperateness, the fear and at times the happiness that the characters went through - it was heart wrenching. The love that develops between the main characters Lilly (Aimee) & Felice (Jaguar) is so well acted, with great tenderness, pulled me more and more into the story. I would HIGHLY recommend this film - what a great character study of two women in desperate times and the hope that their love brings gives courage for them to go on. See this Film!
