Summary: "Out of Season" vs. "It's in the Water"
Review: Although both are small, independent films about the gradual development of intimate relationships between two women, "Out of Season" is a MUCH better film than "It's in the Water" (though not as good as "Chutney Popcorn"). Deciding precisely why this is so would be an interesting exercise for aspiring movie critics. The "Out of Season" DVD itself, which offers full-screen format, is quite satisfactory.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Train Wreck of A Production
Review: As I actually worked on the production of this film I was genuinely surprised to find it for sale on Amazon.com As far as I know, despite our contracts, no member of the crew was ever paid for her work on this film.

Having said that, while the script attempts to tell a genuine story of a young woman finally growing up and and older woman taking a last chance on love, the film is hampered by a lack of depth and a shallow approach to character development.

Summary: Average film - poor DVD production
Review: Go by the other reviews, but be warned - whoever put this on DVD was especially lazy. There is just 2 chapters, one of about 1 minute, the rest the entire film!

I found this out only when I was about forty minutes into the film wanted to fast forward a chapter and ended back at the title page! I was majorly annoyed!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Blah
Review: I bought this because the back cover stated that the end love scene was too die for or something to that effect. Now you can read the other viewers' comments to find out what the story is about. But this movie only kept my attention because it was a lesbian flick. And i watch it whenever i get tired of all the straight people on television. the story line was poor and the action was bad. for once i want to see a lesbian film with substance. just another low budget bad acting lesbian film you can add to the list.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Something for Everyone
Review: I had the privilege of working on the film OUT OF SEASON as a production assistant. Yet not until I saw the finished product did I really appreciate the storyline and Jeanette Buck's sensitive direction. While the film is very much a lesbian love story, and one which boldly portrays an interracial romance as one affected more by personality differences than racial strife, the film is also about caring and letting go. In the generation of AIDS caregiving, strong lesbians have often been stereotyped as instinctive nurses to men and/or unfazed by death and loss. It is refreshing and honest to see a video where a lesbian is shown to be a reluctant and inept caregiver to her dying [straight] uncle, and the film searingly shows the pain of BECOMING close to someone only to lose him. If interracial romance, eldercare and death seem heavy topics--certainly, they are--I can assure folks that the film's humor encompasses its lessons, with uplifting and sexy scenes, too. We are introduced to characters who transcend small-town limitations or loneliness because they know exactly who they are. Their dailiness stands in marked contrast to the outsider, Micki, whose life seems to be a series of unfinished plans and relationships. When Micki falls for local short-order cook Roberta, their shared lesbian identity is not an issue: their differing acceptance of responsibility is. The film truly offers something for everyone: an illustration of the challenge in caregiving; a tribute to loyalty and dailiness in town networks; a sizzling seduction scene; and lead characters who are really evenly matched, though deliciously uneven in temperament. From my perspective as an "insider", I can add that the cast and crew were all a pleasure to work with: no attitude on set and a camraderie that really shows in the final product. I can't recommend highly enough the rewards of becoming involved with quality indendent film: and such projects NEED WORKERS! Pass the word along to your friends that seeing Jeanette's film is far and away the emotional experience of a lifetime.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Touching drama
Review: I was a little skeptical because I'd never heard of any of the actors in this movie but I'm glad I gave it a chance. This is an offbeat drama that offers many funny and touching moments. The story is a little slow but and easy to follow. The scenery on the Jersey Shore is beautiful and creates a peaceful mood for this love story. Dennis Fecteau gives a touching performance as Micki's terminally ill uncle. This is one the better lesbian films I have seen in a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Out of Seasons
Review: It is wonderful, that we as a community are creating more movies that are of better quality. The story and acting were very good and I loved the movie. It was very entertaining. I wish there were more.

Summary: NOT A GOOD FILM AND IT WILL NEVER BE IN SEASON...
Review: Not good, boring, poor acting and writing, well advertised sex scene was less than a soap opera in the afternoon...(ok 2 women that was the big difference?)
No more time to waste on this one...rent it first do not buy it until you see it once...This film will never be in season
