Summary: The scenery was great.................
Review: I've watched this movie three or four, I think four, times and each time it gets more torturous to watch. I try to remember...was I that insipid in my twenties and thirties....was I that boring. God, I hope not. And, the last few scenes always make me laugh when Claire is riding with her jeans on. Doesn't say much for Noel if she can't even get Claire's jeans off. But, how I loved the ocean scenery.

Summary: Could Happen In Real Life
Review: Very believable story. Could happen in real life. Good music. The score as well as the womens music and originals. Nice location and backdrop. I found it refreshing to not be a typical get the girl and go to bed movie. The developement of their affair was good with all the typical real life aspects of a relationship. Shame there has not been a sequal made with the original cast of characters.

Summary: Delicious!
Review: This was a wonderful movie. Trisha Todd(Claire) and Karen Trumbo(Noel) were PERFECTLY cast. I bought the video and the soundtrack. I just found it wonderfully playful as well as serious, provocative, sexy, and extremely moving.Of course we'd love to know what Claire and Noel as well as Trisha and Karen are doing now, but I guess that would take the mystery of it all away, or would it? Trisha Todd was especially exciting to me. A wonderful presence on the screen. Sexy, mysterious, and wonderfully exciting.

Summary: Hyperablized words, Beautiful music, overall strange & amble
Review: I've watched this movie six to seven times a day, words and phrases are stained in mind. I had to use a dictionary just to complete my parody of it. All in all I found it to be quite peaceful. The movement of people, music, and acting is unrealistic but I loved it just the same, to future viewers, have an open mind to the enigma of its place, time, and closeness. Make your own opinion of it.

Summary: Good music, shame about the story.
Review: What a disappointment this film was. Lesbian movies are few and far between so we often grasp at anything that portrays our lifestyle. Don't waste your money on this one. The acting is wooden, the story predictable and the characters, well, words just can't express how unbelievable they all are. My one star goes to Michael Allen Harrison for the musical score, some really nice piano playing.

Review: This movie is my favorite. It's the best lesbian flick i've seen yet. I've seen it over a dozen times and thought i should buy it instead of renting it all the time.

Summary: Beyond the film script.................
Review: I originally rented this video becasue I thought it was a hetereo love story. I had just moved to Alaska from the Oregon coast. The filmming was done in the community where I lived, and,being homesick, really enjoyed the sceneray. I fastforwarded through the story just to see whose home would be used next. Funny thing, I have never met anyone who knew an art film was being filmed on their beach. I watched it a second and third time to see weather, clouds, tide lines, and tidal debris. I agree with the inaneness of the story. Too silly and slow.

Summary: Disappointing........ *sigh*
Review: I really was hoping for more in the exploration of women's sexuality. Instead, I was disappointed in the acting, plot, and intent of this movie. The plot was predictable... women gathering for a writer's workshop, and two find an attraction. But the characters were almost cartoonish, broad characterizations with no substance.... the romance writer, the dyke, the one who's husband leaves.... boring! Women's sexuality and lesbianism are such complex subjects and this movie avoided all the issues. Our society is filled with such critical misnomers about same-gender relationships, and this movie does nothing to clear the air. It only adds to the sterotypes, rather than demonstrating a healthy attitude.

Summary: Rent before buying!
Review: This movie was beautifully filmed. If I were to rate it on its production value, it would be 5 stars. The crew did a wonderful job. However, while some of the actors are just fine, others (particularly one of the leads) is wooden. Part of this may be due to the script, which seems stilted and preachy at times. While the film does have its moments (primarily where there's no dialogue), it is usually mediocre. I really hated this movie. I recommend that you buy Desert Hearts instead.

Summary: ***EXCELLENT ***
Review: This is the best lesbian movie I have seen yet. Far better than DESERT HEARTS...not to take away from D. H...I enjoyed it also. Claire I loved, she longed for something or someone that could reach that void within. Noel was able to pierce the outer surface, and Claire was not able to pull away. I feel Trisha Todd was a great Claire, her acting was natural...I would like to see her in more roles. The movie was not all sex...it took you through the relationship from beginning to end. It did not leave you wanting...The movie was complete. This movie may be similar to D. H., but there aren't many movies, songs, plays, inventions, etc. that are truly unique. ;) Sunni
